Luke 10:25-37

Listen to Luke 10:25-37

25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26 And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.

28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?

30 Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

34 and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on [them] oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow he took out two shillings, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee.

36 Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers?

37 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

The Samaritan, Part 2

Tim Kelley

God is extravagant in His love, in His grace and in His mercy towards us. He will lay down His life for those who despise Him. He will go the extra mile. How we think is not how He thinks. God is not bound by race, culture or offense. His nature is to love, accept and affirm. It always has been - and always will be.

Changing Our Hearts

Jill Briscoe

It's been said that we spend just 25 minutes each day in actual conversation. The rest is non-verbal communication, or body language! Crossed arms, a smirk, tapping feet, leaning in, or looking away. It's interesting how easy it is to get a message across to others without saying a word!So, what are you telling the world, as a Christian, through your body language? What do you do in your kitchen, your car, or when you're sitting around with your friends, and what does it reveal to others about your faith in Christ?Jill challenges us to look at the ways we can use every part of our body to bring glory to God!

Parable Of The Good Samaritan - C

Jack Hibbs

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that our God-given moral code or law has a bottom line that Jesus asks of all of us. To go and do likewise by extending love and care for others as we would do for ourselves. We do not have eternal life because we do this, we do it because we have eternal life.

Parable Of The Good Samaritan - B

Jack Hibbs

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that this parable is concerned about the heart of God within us. We are not told who the man was that was in such desperate need, meaning it doesn’t matter. We’re to care for others as God cares regardless of the situation or circumstance.

Parable Of The Good Samaritan - A

Jack Hibbs

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that when the lawyer of the law asks, who is our neighbor, Jesus illustrates that everyone is our neighbor. Loving one’s neighbor requires action, and a willingness to help, regardless of who they are, or what their status is in life.
