Podcasts about good samaritan

Pastor Joe challenges us to live out God's supernatural love that reaches beyond comfort and prejudice. Through the story of the Good Samaritan, we learn that true neighborly love sees need before status, and compassion before convenience. Our everyday actions can be as powerful a witness as any miracle.

One day, a religious leader approached Jesus and asked him who's my neighbor? Jesus responded with the parable of the Good Samaritan. Now we know who the neighbor was in this parable. The Good Samaritan was a powerful neighbor in the wounded man's life. The power of neighboring lies within each of us—the power to transform somebody's life by loving them as we love ourselves. The power of neighboring requires selfless acts and living on the edge of comfortableness. The power of neighboring started with Jesus, and it continues on in you. You have the ability to impact somebody's life for eternity by loving them. Your neighbors, they are at work, and they are in your neighborhood too. The big question I have for you today is who is your neighbor and will any of your neighbors be alone this Thanksgiving. 

It's easy to be kind to our friends. But what about strangers? What about the people who have hurt us? In this sermon, "Who Am I Supposed To Serve?", we're digging into the idea of true hospitality. Using the story of the Good Samaritan, we explore what it looks like to "cross the road" for people who are broken—even when it's inconvenient, costly, or for someone we'd call an "enemy. We all have a "20-foot circle" of influence, and this message is a challenge to use it. After all, people often won't care what we believe until they see how we serve.

(Luke 10:25-37) The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Christ's most famous teachings. While caring for those who are suffering is an important part of the Christian life in this broken world, the greatest need in every life is spiritual. Every person needs salvation from Sin through Jesus Christ.

On a crisp November day, "The Valley Today" welcomes listeners with its signature blend of warmth and wit. Host Janet Michael and Captain Warren Gosnell of the Frederick County Sheriff's Office kick off their monthly Public Safety Thursday segment with playful banter about radio nostalgia, technical hiccups, and the quirks of live broadcasting. Their camaraderie sets a relaxed tone, inviting the audience into a conversation that would soon delve into the heart of community service. Navigating Change and Tradition As the discussion unfolds, Janet and Captain Gosnell reminisce about the evolution of radio technology and the enduring challenges of adapting to new tools. Their exchange highlights not only the humor in everyday mishaps but also the resilience required in both broadcasting and public safety. Captain Gosnell's anecdotes about his new vehicle and the familiar roads of the Shenandoah Valley paint a vivid picture of local life, complete with autumn leaves and the ever-present specter of roadwork. The Valor Awards: Recognizing Bravery Transitioning to the evening's main event, Janet introduces the upcoming Top of Virginia Regional Chamber's Valor Awards, a ceremony dedicated to honoring first responders and citizens who have gone above and beyond in moments of crisis. Captain Gosnell emphasizes the significance of such recognition, sharing personal stories of lifesaving interventions and the humility that comes with being acknowledged for simply "doing the job." He reflects on the emotional impact of these awards—not just for law enforcement, but for EMTs, firefighters, and ordinary citizens whose quick thinking has saved lives. The Pendulum of Public Perception Throughout the conversation, Captain Gosnell addresses the shifting public perception of first responders. He notes that while moments of extraordinary heroism—such as those witnessed during 9/11—can elevate the status of public safety professionals, negative incidents can just as quickly cast a shadow over the entire field. This pendulum effect, he explains, underscores the importance of community support and positive reinforcement, both for morale and for the continued dedication of those in uniform. Celebrating Citizen Heroes Importantly, the Valor Awards do not solely spotlight professionals. Janet and Captain Gosnell discuss the vital role of private citizens—children who call 911 in emergencies, bystanders who administer CPR, and neighbors who step in during crises. These stories, often overlooked by the media, demonstrate the profound impact that ordinary people can have when they choose to act. Captain Gosnell encourages listeners to learn basic lifesaving skills, such as CPR and Narcan administration, reminding everyone that heroism is not limited to those with badges. The Ripple Effect of Good Deeds As the conversation draws to a close, the pair turns to the broader effects of intervention. Saving a life, Janet observes, can have far-reaching consequences, touching families and communities in ways that may never be fully known. Captain Gosnell echoes this sentiment, sharing how even unsuccessful rescue attempts are deeply appreciated by those affected. The message is clear: every act of courage, no matter how small, contributes to the fabric of a safer, more compassionate community. Looking Ahead With gratitude and anticipation, Janet and Captain Gosnell conclude the show by congratulating the evening's Valor Award recipients. Their conversation serves as a powerful reminder that heroism is all around us—sometimes in uniform, sometimes in everyday clothes, but always in the willingness to help. 

A Good Samaritan noticed a phone-zoned woman walking directly in front of an oncoming vehicle, he pulled her out of the path of danger, and now he faces charges for sexual assault, because he did not first ask for her consent. How should Christian men function in this crazy world? An SBC church honors the kingdom of darkness in the house of God. Wut?

Text: Luke 10:25-37; variousTheme: The story of the “Good Samaritan” is a favorite for many people. Jesus' story doesn't just make a point, it sends us on a mission. You ready?Memory Verse: Luke 10:36-37 (NIV) “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49512239

Today we look at Luke 10:25-37 which most of us know as the Parable of the Good Samaritan. In the first century, no Jew would have called a Samaritan "good" which proves once again that God shows up where you least expect it.

In this second part of our study on the Parable of the Good Samaritan—what I call the Parable of “Who Is My Neighbor?”—we slow down and walk carefully through the full passage of Luke 10:25–37. Too often, we read this story quickly and miss the powerful dialogue unfolding between Jesus and the Expert in the Law. Together, we'll explore: - The initial question that sets the stage: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” - The follow-up challenge: “Who is my neighbor?” - The concluding exchange that reveals the Expert's heart—and ours. This parable presses us to wrestle with one of the most fundamental issues of the human condition: Who am I required to show love to? - What about those we think don't deserve it? - The people who frustrate, offend, or oppose us? - The neighbors who vote differently, live differently, or simply get under our skin? Jesus calls us to a higher vision of love—to see the humanity and divine image even in those we struggle to love most. Join me as we uncover how this parable invites us to live out the radical, restorative love of God in our world today. --------------------------------------------- www.figtreeteaching.com Join the Fig Tree Coffee Club - Check Website for Times and Dates https://www.figtreeteaching.com/store/p3/Fig_Tree_Coffee_Club.html Support Fig Tree Ministries: https://donorbox.org/support-figtree-ministries Support the Ministry when you shop at Amazon!

If you think the Good Samaritan story is about doing good to your neighbor, guess again. The story is about trying to justify yourself and the Lord Jesus giving a story so outrageous that it should be crystal clear we can't save ourselves. Pastor Chris takes us to Luke chapter 10 to explain the depth of this commonly misunderstood parable.

In Part 3 of our Be Generous series, Pastor Mike Coker reminds us that one of the greatest gifts God has given us to steward is time. We don't just give through resources — we give through presence, compassion, service, and intentional time invested in others.Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3, we are reminded that there is a season for everything — a rhythm to life ordained by God. Every day we are given is a gift, not a burden, and we are called to use our time for God's glory rather than waste it on idle pursuits .Pastor Mike challenges us to:• Recognize time as precious — life is short, and every moment matters.• Invest time wisely — we will give an account for how we spend our days.• Choose intentionally — prioritize worship, spiritual growth, prayer, and community.• Serve and love intentionally — like the friends who carried the paralytic to Jesus and the Good Samaritan who stopped to show compassion, we are called to give our time to lift others up .• True generosity isn't just what we give — it's how we live. When we invest time in people, in God's presence, and in serving others, we reflect the heart of Jesus and make an eternal impact.

Elder Tom Toone shares from Luke 10:25-37 about how everyone needs compassion. Using the quintessential Parable of the Good Samaritan, we highlight practical steps for showing compassion both to our brothers and sisters in Christ, and the unsaved world around us.As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself:"Am I as compassionate as I think I am?""Do I know how to use discernment before I go about sharing any 'Words of Wisdom' with those who are in the midst of suffering?"

Why do bad things happen in a world governed by a benevolent God? Join us as we tackle this age-old question, exploring the spiritual battle between God's kingdom and the kingdom of darkness. We dissect the concept of revival, not as a means of converting non-believers, but as a powerful resurgence of passion among the faithful, revitalizing those who feel spiritually stagnant. Using the metaphor of the Good Samaritan, we discuss the restoration of vitality to believers and examine recent instances of revival on college campuses. With insights from biblical history and societal observations, we stress the church's crucial role in fostering this spiritual renewal.Key Takeaways:Understanding Revival: Revival is not just about evangelism but rekindling the faith of existing believers. It's about bringing the half-dead back to life.Current Spiritual Climate: Recent societal changes hint at a spiritual revival, evidenced by shifts on college campuses and public figures expressing their faith.Challenges for Churches: Churches need to move beyond convenience and politeness to embrace a more transformative, committed approach to worship and community life.Role of Faith: The collision of spiritual kingdoms suggests a need for renewed faith and a renaissance of spirituality in personal and communal life.Revival and Survival: There's a strong correlation between revival and the survival of positive spiritual values in society, urging a proactive choice towards spiritual awakening.

20th Sunday after Pentecost October 26, 2025Sermon Series: Who's Your Neighbor?Sermon: How to be a NeighborScripture: Luke 10:25-37This Sunday we continue our series, Who's Your Neighbor?This week's message, “How to Be a Neighbor,” comes from Luke 10:25–37—the parable of the Good Samaritan.In this well-known story, Jesus challenges us to expand our understanding of what it means to love our neighbor. Being a neighbor isn't just about who lives nearby—it's about showing mercy, compassion, and action wherever there is need.As you prepare for worship, reflect on these questions: What does Jesus' story of the Good Samaritan teach us about love in action? How might God be calling you to cross boundaries or step out of your comfort zone to care for someone in need? Where might you find opportunities this week to be a neighbor? Come ready to open your heart and hands to the kind of love Jesus calls us to live out every day.Sunday Worship Schedule 8:45 AM – Contemporary Worship 10:00 AM – Sunday School 11:00 AM – Traditional Worship

Send us a textWhat if the most faithful thing we can do is slow down, listen, and heal before we preach? That's the challenge and invitation at the heart of our conversation with Cathy Lins, director of Gather My Lost Sheep, whose work equips parishes and dioceses to respond wisely to trauma and help priests flourish. We talk candidly about why people in crisis often come to the Church first, how well-meaning responses can backfire, and what it takes to become a reliable place of safety rather than another source of harm.Cathy shares practical frameworks that shift ministry from theory to practice. We unpack the “eight critical shifts” for leading trauma-informed parishes, a Good Samaritan five-step response model, and a Flourishing Shepherds approach designed for clergy wellbeing. We also explore the mental health continuum—green to red—as a simple daily dashboard for sleep, diet, prayer, connection, and stress, helping leaders catch warning signs early. From supervision and debriefing to WRAP-style plans, we outline systems that normalize support, reduce burnout, and strengthen accountability without shame.Along the way, we confront stigma, speak to the cost of silence, and acknowledge the reality of secondary trauma for anyone who carries others' stories. The vision is both humbling and hopeful: laity and clergy as one body, tending each other; evangelization that moves at the speed of trust; and a Church that starts with presence, builds safety, and invites healing that turns wounds into witness. If you care about pastoral care, mental health first aid, safeguarding, or rebuilding credibility through transparency, this one matters.If this resonates, share it with someone who serves, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review with one insight you're taking back to your community.Thanks for listening.

When God asks us to love our neighbor as ourselves, what exactly does He mean?In Luke 10 verses 25–37, Jesus shares the Parable of the Good Samaritan to illustrate what it means to love our neighbors the way Jesus loves us.“A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,' he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'”The Lord asks us not to dole out kindness sparingly, but to generously pour love and compassion over the hurting people we meet...even complete strangers we encounter on the road of life.Let's pray.Heavenly Father, give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and hands to help the broken and bruised people in our midst every day. There are lost and wounded souls in every corner of this world, and we ask for the courage to reach out to them with love. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

The parable of the Good Samaritan is another popular parable of Jesus that often gets overlooked. In this story, Jesus describes a Jewish man in need on the side of the road. Religious experts and the “spiritually mature” pass him by, but a Samaritan, one of the most despised people to the Jews, stops to help him. In our lives today, we can be tempted to simply pass by those whom God is calling us to love and serve. We're either too busy, we see them as too bad, or their situations are too broken for us to reach out in love. Like the man Jesus tells this story too, we can be caught asking “who exactly is my neighbor?” rather than “who will I be a neighbor to?” But by asking this question, we can begin to allow Jesus to transform us into people who are truly spiritually mature, people fully capable of loving and serving those around us.

Series: RootedWeek: 7 – ShalomScripture: Luke 10:25–37; Jeremiah 29:4–7; Titus 3:4–5; Micah 6:8Big Idea:God calls His people to embody mercy personally and shalom collectively—bringing His peace, justice, and renewal to the world. But we can't extend true mercy or live in true shalom until we've first received it from Christ.I. The Question of JustificationThe expert in the law asks, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Luke 10:25)His question isn't about love—it's about justifying himself.Like him, we all seek to prove our worth: through comparison, religion, or performance.But we can't meet the standard or change the rules. We fall short.II. Jesus Flips the StoryThe parable of the Good Samaritan isn't about moral improvement—it's about mercy received.We are not the Good Samaritan; we're the traveler, beaten and broken by sin.Religion (the priest) and morality (the Levite) can't save us.But the despised One—Jesus—comes near, binds our wounds, pays our debt, and restores us.Only when we've received mercy can we truly extend mercy.III. Mercy Leads to ShalomMercy (Hebrew: hesed) isn't just withholding punishment—it's love that moves toward brokenness.Mercy acts; it steps toward pain, binds wounds, and restores what's broken.When mercy is extended, shalom begins—wholeness, harmony, everything in its right place.Micah 6:8 calls us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.IV. God's Mission is ShalomIn Jeremiah 29, God tells exiles to seek the peace and prosperity (shalom) of their city.Shalom is more than peace—it's renewal and restoration.God's mission isn't to rescue people from the world but to renew the world through His people.Every act of mercy and service becomes a declaration of the gospel.V. Shalom is Our CallingWe too are exiles (1 Peter 2:11). Our calling isn't escape—it's engagement.To be a peacemaker is to bring heaven's peace into earth's chaos (Matthew 5:9).Every time we forgive, serve, build, or pray—we participate in God's justice.“Seek the peace and prosperity of the city… for if it prospers, you too will prosper.” (Jeremiah 29:7)But we can't give what we haven't received.The true Good Samaritan—Jesus—restored us first so that we can restore others.

We're wired to celebrate what's good—but we don't agree on what “good” is. Pastor Josiah explores Jesus' worldview-shifting claim that God alone is good (Matt. 19:16–22) and shows how that truth reframes evil, sin, and even hell. With a vivid “spring and river” picture, you'll see why swimming toward the Source changes your life, how the Good Samaritan still captures our hearts, and why the invitation of Jesus is to come empty-handed and follow. Key Scriptures: Galatians 5:22–23; Matthew 19:16–22; James 1:17; Romans 2:4 Big Idea: Goodness happens in us when we respond to God's call out of ourselves and into Him—the Source of all good.

Vet Antivenom Saves Child After Hospital Stock Depleted; Venomous Sea Snake Causes Wildlife Sanctuary Evacuation Jeremy Zakis The segment covers two significant snake-related incidents. A venomous sea snake, rescued from the coastline by a Good Samaritan, was dropped off at the Coffs Wildlife Sanctuary. Because sea snakes panic and become aggressive and unpredictable on land, the sanctuary had to be evacuated for two hours while specialized snake catchers were called in. Separately, an 11-year-old girl bitten by a tiger snake in South Australia was rushed to Port Augusta Hospital, which had run out of antivenom. A quick-thinking doctor secured a vial of antivenom from a local veterinarian, confirming that the antivenom used for animals is effective for treating humans in emergencies, saving the girl's life.

The parable of the Good Samaritan is another popular parable of Jesus that often gets overlooked. In this story, Jesus describes a Jewish man in need on the side of the road. Religious experts and the “spiritually mature” pass him by, but a Samaritan, one of the most despised people to the Jews, stops to help him. In our lives today, we can be tempted to simply pass by those whom God is calling us to love and serve. We're either too busy, we see them as too bad, or their situations are too broken for us to reach out in love. Like the man Jesus tells this story too, we can be caught asking “who exactly is my neighbor?” rather than “who will I be a neighbor to?” But by asking this question, we can begin to allow Jesus to transform us into people who are truly spiritually mature, people fully capable of loving and serving those around us.

Prayer to St. LukeO glorious St. Luke, beloved physician and Evangelist, you revealed Christ as healer, friend of the poor, and messenger of the Father's mercy.Through your Gospel we hear the Magnificat, the mercy of the Good Samaritan, and the joy of the Prodigal's return. Pray for us, that we may live with compassion, bring peace to the suffering, and proclaim the Kingdom with courage.Guide all who heal, all who serve, and all who witness to Christ in the world. May we, like you, use our gifts for God's glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.St. Luke, faithful servant of the Word, intercede for us, that we may follow Christ with steadfast hearts and rejoice forever in His presence. Amen.

Gary discusses Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who is now trying to teach how the Bible applies to everyday life, especially economics. Apparently, separation of church and state doesn't apply during times of government shutdowns. Rep. DeLauro mentions a few parts of the Bible, but never gives any context for what she is claiming the Bible is teaching about the poor.

In this Bible Story, we learn about the true meaning of kindness from the story of the good Samaritan. Jesus uses this story to teach that goodness does not always come from the perfect people, rather those that we may least expect. This story is inspired by Luke 10:25-37. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Luke 10:37 from the King James Version.Episode 201: On another day of walking and teaching a lawyer came up to Jesus asking about eternal life. Wanting to justify himself he responded to Jesus' answer by asking Him who counts as a neighbor. To illustrate His point, Jesus told the lawyer a story about an Israelite man who was robbed, beaten, and left for dead. Nobody who should have helped this man, actually helped him. Instead, a Samaritan, hated by the Jews, picked him up, bandaged his wounds, and brought him to an inn to be taken care of. The next question Jesus asks challenges both the lawyer and us to think about what it means to be a neighbor.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.
