This week we’re continuing the study, Horizontal Jesus, by Dr Tony Evans; where we are learning how Jesus empowers His church to be His hands and feet in the world today.

In this session, we will see that love is at the center of living the Christian life and experiencing the abundance of God. According to Jesus, the way we love is also the way we are identified as His disciples. If you vertically love God and horizontally love one another, you’re being faithful to all of God’s commands.

On this week’s episode, we’re wrapping up the Bible study called Making Space by Pastor Jeff Vanderstelt. Making Space gleans wisdom from the Book of Proverbs and from the example of Jesus to show you how to center your life on God’s priorities.

In this last session, we address the final area of wisdom—hospitality—and ways we can welcome others into our lives. Hospitality is making space for people to be with us in community—to be who they are and to become more like Christ. In Scripture, strangers are people who live in a society other than their own. Strangers are people who aren’t yet assimilated into our community. Hospitality means making space for strangers.
