Mission = a specific task that a person or group is tasked with (Matthew 28:19-20, Ephesians 2:10)
Every act of love is part of God's mission.
You cannot love God without also loving people.
What is the primary obligation of God's people? (Matthew 22:36-40)
The heart of neighbouring is the heart of Jesus. It is LOVE.
Living on mission = our deep love of God spilling onto others (John 15:9-14)
Where can I be the hands and feet of Jesus today?
Mission begins with the people in front of us.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1) What stood out to you from Sunday's teaching?
2) Read Matthew 22:36-40 and John 15:9-14. What stands out? What do we learn about the heart of neighbouring from these passages?
Living on Mission - Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that God has prepared good works for us to do—and they might already be in our schedule.
3) Where in your current routines (work, school, home, neighbourhood) do you see opportunities to live on mission?
4) Does “mission” feel overwhelming to you, or freeing? Why?
Love in the Overflow - our love for God fuels our love for others.
5) What helps you stay “rooted in Jesus” so that love naturally overflows?
6) Can you share a recent example (big or small) where loving God led you to love someone else?
Who is my neighbour?
7) Who are the “neighbours” God has placed in your life right now?
8) How might you love them this week in a way that reflects Jesus?
