BLESS represents 5 practices in your everyday life which demonstrate love for your neighbors. Neighbors is being defined as those who physically live near you and also those around where you work and play! Where you spend time regularly.

 

BLESS is grounded in the Old Testament (Genesis 12:1-3-blessed through Abraham) and lived out by Jesus.

When asked which is the great commandment in the Law, Jesus said “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:36-39


Jesus came eating and drinking – He was a friend of sinners (Luke 7:34-35).

Imagine what it would be like for an entire community to love each other well!
