Luke 10:25-37

Listen to Luke 10:25-37

25 And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

26 And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?

27 And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.

28 And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.

29 But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

30 And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.

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

32 And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.

33 But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,

34 And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.

35 And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.

36 Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?

37 And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.

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.
