Jesus teaches that loving our neighbor as ourselves is every bit as important as loving God with all our hearts. But what about the neighbor who makes us uncomfortable, or is an enemy (or considers us one)? In this series, we will explore six parables that provide support, encouragement, and real-life tools for expanding the circle of relationships. In so doing, we will discover unexpected skills for dealing with difficult people. Through such relationships we encounter a God who works in ways that are as mysterious as they are wondrous.
