Reading Luke 10:25-37 and the famous parable of the Good Samaritan, where Jesus responds to a lawyer attempting to test Him by showing the lawyer he's not as good as he thinks. Visit wwutt.com for all our videos!
At its heart, the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) is a story about noticing. It's about compassion, action, and breaking down the barriers that divide us. In this episode of Round Hill Radio, we explore the contrast between those who pass by and the one who stops to help. We unpack the historical context of the Samaritan people and discuss the powerful message of this parable for our lives. Get ready to be inspired to go and do likewise.
One of Jesus' most well-known parables is that of the Good Samaritan - so much so, it has even made its way into common vernacular. Jesus tells this parable in response to a leading question of “Who is my neighbor?” Join us as we study Luke 10:25-37 and see how Jesus disrupts and challenges the self-righteousness and presuppositions we have towards others.
Selfishness pulls us inward, but the gospel calls us to radical generosity. In this episode, we explore the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) and how true love isn't just kind—it's costly. Consumerism asks, “What's in it for me?” but Jesus calls us to “Who can I serve?”Discover how giving—financially, through serving, and in friendship—breaks selfishness and fuels the family of God. In His Kingdom, when you give, you always receive more than you gave.Support the show
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, because of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." Romans 12:1 As we reflect on Romans 12:1, remember, "Beyond fasting lies the feast of compassion, where feeding others' needs nourishes our soul with the fullness of life's true abundance." In other words, we should think beyond traditional fasting practices and consider how we can embody sacrificial living in our everyday actions. It's about offering our time, talents, and resources to serve others, creating a ripple effect of love and kindness in our communities. The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) beautifully illustrates the essence of sacrificial living. When others passed by a wounded man in need, the Samaritan stopped to help him, demonstrating selflessness and compassion. This story teaches us that sacrificial living is not just about grand gestures; it's often found in the simple acts of kindness we extend to those around us. When we serve others with a full heart, we embody Christ's love and impact their lives. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Generous giving is another vital aspect of sacrificial living. Whether it's sharing our financial resources or donating our time, every act of generosity contributes to a spirit of community and support. By giving selflessly, we not only enrich the lives of others but also experience true joy and fulfillment in our own lives. Remember, "Service is the silent hymn of sacrificial living, a melody that resonates through every selfless deed and lifts the spirit of both giver and receiver." Sacrificial living also involves sharing our talents with those in need. Every skill and gift we possess can be utilized to uplift others, whether it's mentoring someone in your field or volunteering for a local charity. As we engage in these acts of service, we discover that sacrifice sparks true joy within us. Remember, the more we give, the more we receive." Luke 6:38 says, "Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Prayer for the Day! Heavenly Father, we thank You for calling us to a life of sacrificial living. Help us to serve others with open hearts and generous spirits. May we always seek opportunities to share our time and talents, reflecting Your love in every action. Teach us to find joy in selflessness and remind us that every small act counts in Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
This week we're reading two stories that are often read separately, the Good Samaritan parable and Jesus's visit with Mary and Martha as told in Luke 10:25-42. The Good Samaritan has us thinking about the question of our obligations to our neighbors in need. When a lawyer asks Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?,” Jesus responds with a story that seems to dispense with the category of neighbor altogether, instead insisting that one must show compassion to whomever is in need. The Mary and Martha story leads us to think about the legitimate tasks of ministry and how they can sometimes be a distraction from listening to Jesus, which is the one thing a divine voice has commanded in this Gospel.
What does it truly mean to love your neighbor? In this episode of the Narrative Lectionary Podcast, Profs. Rolf Jacobson, Alan Padgett, and Jennifer Pietz explore one of Jesus' most well-known and challenging parables—the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). The hosts unpack the story's radical message of compassion, cultural boundaries, and the call to action that still resonates today. Join us as we dive into the historical and theological context of this parable, reflecting on what it means to embody mercy in a world that often draws dividing lines. How might Jesus' words challenge us to rethink who our neighbors really are?
Isaiah 54:2-3 reminds us that God is calling us to expand—to stretch, grow, and make room for more. But with that expansion comes responsibility. In today's message, "The Stakes Are High," Pastor Micahn Carter broke down the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37, MSG) and challenged us to not be distracted by lesser things. It's time to see people the way God does and take responsibility for the world around us. Proximity is our responsibility.We don't have time to waste. Serving isn't optional. Our world is meant to include others. Help is on the way—but sometimes, you're the one being sent.
The parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) illustrates true love and mercy, challenging us to care for others beyond social or cultural barriers. Dave Henke highlights that loving our neighbor requires action, not just sentiment, and emphasizes that salvation isn't earned through works but received through faith in Christ. The Samaritan's compassion contrasts with the priest and Levite's neglect, revealing that true righteousness comes from a heart transformed by God's grace. Jesus' message is clear: show mercy and live out God's love in practical ways. ★ Support this podcast ★
Jesus & The Ministry Of Mercy | The Parable Of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)
Sunday Morning Service, February 2, 2025
In December we're looking at five of Jesus' parables, one for each of the Advent emphases: Hope, Peace, Joy, Love, and Faith.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) is one of Yeshua's most well-known teachings, but its depth becomes clearer when we examine the background and context. The story arises from a conversation between Yeshua and a lawyer (an expert in Jewish law) who sought to test Him. The lawyer asked, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Yeshua responded by asking the lawyer to interpret the law himself, prompting the man to cite two key commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind” and “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Luke 10:27).List of Urgent Needs:- F350 Truck and accessories: $50,000- Fuel for mission distribution: $80 per daily mission- Aid supplies family support kits: $150- Ministry emergency fund goal: $30,000To give, use this link http://member.bulldozerfaith.com/givePayPal.me/bulldozerfaith https://cash.app/$bulldozerfaith Daily Devotional and teaching with Kenny Russell - Get connected with our Podcast Channelshttps://feeds.captivate.fm/what-then-shall-we-sayEmail kenny@bulldozerfaith.com
WEEK 13 OF 16 // Andy HahnIn general, how do you relate to the idea of TLDR (Too Long; Didn't Read) or CliffsNotes...do you prefer to "Get to the bottom line", or do you want to "Hear the whole story? Paul summarizes the law with the singular command to love one another (Romans 13:8-10). How does this perspective change/inform your understanding of the different rules and commandments connected to your faith?Read the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37). In what ways does Jesus' story challenge you when it comes to loving others? Do you recognize any biases in yourself? Who are some people you struggle to love and why do you struggle to love them?How does the reality of God's generous and indiscriminate love influence how you interact with people who are different from you or may not be easy to love?Pastor Andy highlighted that love is shown through action, not just good intentions. Consider this big question: "Who has God put in front of me and what do I need to do to show love?" How is God prompting you to process and respond to this? Sermon Locations and Times: Sundays Services are at 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM at 2601 E Alex Bell Rd Dayton, OH 45459 You can join us online on Facebook or YouTube at 11:00 AM.

Have someone read the parable in Luke 10:30-37 and summarize the story. How does this story relate to Luke 10:25-29? 3. In Jesus' story, a Samaritan is the hero. His audience would not have considered Samaritans to be heroes. Why does he involve a Samaritan as a hero? 4. One point of the story is there are no limits to “who is my neighbor.” We all have people in our lives and it's fairly easy to be a good neighbor to them. Who are some of the people in our lives who are not as easy to relate to as a neighbor? Explain.5. Why should we be a good neighbor even to those we don't want to be? What might this look like for you to be a good neighbor to someone this week?6. A second point of this parable is there are no limits to how far I should go to be a neighbor. What are some examples from the parable of the extent to which this Good Samaritan was willing to go to be a good neighbor?7. Have you ever been in a situation where you have been a “Good Samaritan?” To what extent did you go to be a good neighbor? How far should we go?8. This parable is about being a good neighbor like the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:37). But the context around the parable is also about Jesus (see Luke 10:22-23 and 10:38-42). How has Jesus been like a “Good Samaritan” to us? Why would we be more likely to be a good neighbor to others when we consider what Jesus has done for us?Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Najdi Arabs in Saudi Arabia The Najdi-speaking Arabs, with a population of approximately 14.7 million, primarily reside on Saudi Arabia's central plateau and speak the Najdi dialect of Arabic. Islam is the dominant religion, and Christianity makes up less than 0.1% of the population. The complete Bible is unavailable, with only portions of Scripture accessible in written and oral form, and no gospel movements have been reported. An estimated 293 workers are needed, at a ratio of 1 worker per 50,000 people. Pray that Najdi families experience encounters that result in their knowledge of Jesus and for protection of Muslim families who have a desire to study God's word but are fearful what may happen if they do.

07/21/2024 - Bradley Wilder - Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) by Faith Community Church of South Boston, VA
Ryan Adamsfalse
In this episode, Father Genard delves into the vivid imagery of "rubbing salt in the wound," likening it to kicking someone when they are already down. Both actions amplify pain and suffering. The sting of salt or alcohol on an open wound can be excruciating, but it also facilitates healing—a process Father Genard intimately understands from his own experiences with ulcers. Conversely, pouring cold water on a burn brings immediate relief, also leading to healing. Drawing from the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), he explains how Christ employs similar healing methods using oil and wine—oil to soothe and wine to sting, both fostering healing. In this parable, the wounds of the man, representing humanity after the fall, symbolize the sufferings and corruptions inflicted by Satan. Christ, the Good Samaritan, uses oil and wine as metaphors for His teachings. The soothing oil represents the joy and comfort derived from Christ's promises, as seen in Matthew 11:28: "Come unto me, all you who are wearied and bearing burdens, and I will give you rest." This passage emphasizes Christ's willingness to relieve our burdens, inviting us to find rest in Him without coercion. On the other hand, the stinging wine signifies the discomfort and fear elicited by Christ's warnings. Scriptures such as Matthew 25:30, where the idle servant is cast into outer darkness, or Matthew 7:23, where Christ declares, "I never knew you. Depart from me, ye doers of evil," serve as stark reminders of the consequences of sin. These discomforting words are intended to drive us towards righteousness and sanctification, much like how painful treatments ultimately lead to healing. Father Genard urges listeners to approach God's word prepared to be both comforted and challenged. The teachings of Christ are designed to lead us to virtue, righteousness, and holiness, drawing us closer to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. In embracing both the soothing and stinging aspects of God's word, we find true spiritual healing and fulfillment. To the Holy Trinity be praise, glory, honor, and confession, now and always.

06/23/2024 - Doug Barber - Good Samaritan (Luke 10:5-35) by Faith Community Church of South Boston, VA
Jesus's story of the Good Samaritan is one of his most familiar teachings in the Bible. It's so familiar that it's easy to miss the true point. We take a closer look at the parable and the conversation that provoked it and discover the wisdom of Jesus's probing questions.
Dr. Bell begins discussing the story of the "Good Samaritan." While many are familiar with the term and some know the story, few fully grasp its message. This message was not very popular among the disciples; in fact, Luke was the only one to include it in his gospel. He did not present it as a parable taught by Jesus, leading scholars to believe that the "Good Samaritan" story was an actual event. The story is not just about performing a good deed for someone in need; it is about the grace and mercy we should extend to our neighbor as believers. This raises the question: who do we consider our neighbor? The story challenges our perceptions, revealing that our neighbor is not just the friend next door or someone within our community. The "Good Samaritan" teaches that everyone, including our enemies, is our neighbor. This narrative exposes the true nature of our hearts and calls us to show compassion and kindness to all, regardless of our differences.

Pastor Derek Brokke's sermon "The Good Samaritan" dissects Luke 10:25-37, unveiling the parable's core messages on motives, excuses, and prejudices within religious contexts. The narrative dives into the lawyer's self-justification and reluctance to fully embrace Jesus' teachings on love and compassion. By spotlighting the despised Samaritan as the parable's hero, Pastor Derek challenges biases and highlights the transformative power of genuine love over religious formalities. The sermon urges listeners to embody the Good Samaritan's compassionate actions and to reflect on how deeply held prejudices may hinder true Christian discipleship.
To be in God's Kingdom involves being a good neighbor. And to be a good neighbor means to move in compassion towards those in need. As such, compassion involves seeing people in need, taking on inconvenient action, and refusing to draw artificial boundaries. By entering into the world, Jesus proves Himself to be the ultimate Good Neighbor.
