Rev. Josh Longbottom reminds listeners of the challenge at the heart of Jesus' ministry-to think first about your neighbors, whether they're dirty neighbors or clean, drunk or straightedge, boring or party animals, gay or straight, American or across the ocean making your affordable clothes. While humans prefer the comfort of systemization and predictability, Rev. Longbottom says the kingdom of God violates human laws of order and codes of purity, and that those seeking justice will find it outside of the proverbial box. Ref: Jeremiah 18:1-4, Luke 13:18-19.
