Love People Who Aren’t Like Us
Passage: John 4:5-13; Ephesians 2:14
Big takeaways:
Building a Wall
- Samaritan Woman has a wall built from her community and the Jews
- We have walls built by:
- Seeing how we are different from others
- We have been hurt before, so we create walls
- We don’t want people to see the real us
Breaking Walls
- Jesus broke the wall built by inviting the Samaritan woman
- We can break down the wall by inviting other
We love people who aren't like you by simply reaching out and talking to them
3 Questions:
- How did Jesus break through the wall?
- Who is one family we could talk to this week?
- How could we as a family reach out to these families?
Activities:
- Have dinner or lunch with one family in your neighborhood that you have never met before.
