What you do in the neighbourhood matters!

It’s nearly impossible to transform complex systems, such as modern day church life. The overwhelming focus on programs, on growing a corporation, battles over singing styles, or attracting people to 'church' and paying only lip service to actually loving our neighbours makes a person wonder if that system can (or will) ever be fixed.

At the same time God seems to be raising all sorts of pioneers, guides and servants who want to join with Him in creating new communities of faith where the gospel is lived out in place.

To participate in neighbourhood life is to join a new 'kingdom of God' system (it's really just the Jesus Way rediscovered).

Many organizations like Forge (Roxburgh Missional Network and others) are working at fixing the old system (a very worthwhile endeavor!); Neighbourhood Life is a part of the group of new pioneers who are stepping forward in faith to create real communities where God's shalom reigns.

Be blessed as you follow Jesus into your neighbourhood and live out the Greatest Commandment.

Mark 12
“Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
