In this sermon we talk about healthy boundaries in neighboring, as well as focusing on quality relationships. We begin with a theological take on boundaries, which is that they aren’t meant to keep us a part, but to help us love better (this involved a fun bit on the doctrine of the Trinity). We explore through the Cain and Abel story, as well as the Good Samaritan that whether good neighboring involves saying either yes or no, both can be in love. We then talk about focusing our time and energy when it comes to neighboring, that there are different kinds of belonging in relationships (public, social, personal, and intimate), and that like the seventy-two Jesus sends out, we are to look for people of peace in our neighborhood, to connect with people who seem open to it.
