Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this powerful message from our ongoing series in the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Benjer McVeigh leads us through one of the most familiar — and dangerously misunderstood — teachings of Jesus: the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). But before we tune out with a “been there, heard that” mindset, Benjer challenges us to slow down, lean in, and let the Word do surgery on our souls. What if we've misunderstood this parable all along? What if the point isn't about identifying who our neighbor is — but realizing we are the neighbor God has sent? This message begins by confronting the deceptively small definition of “neighbor” held by the expert in the law, a man who — like many of us — sought to justify himself by asking Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” But Jesus doesn't answer with a list of who qualifies. Instead, He flips the lawyer's question on its head and tells a story where the most unlikely character — a Samaritan, despised by Jews in that time — becomes the model of true neighborly love. As Benjer unpacks the cultural and religious background of the text, he reveals that the priest and Levite in the story weren't merely callous — they were likely busy with temple duties, constrained by religious expectations. Yet their roles, deeply tied to the law, couldn't produce the compassion needed in the moment. It is the Samaritan — the outsider, the one least expected — who sees, stops, and sacrifices. He is moved by compassion, not convenience. He loves with open hands, at great risk and great cost to himself. And this, Jesus says, is what it means to be a neighbor. The message digs deeper, applying this radical vision of love to our daily lives. Who have we disqualified from being our neighbor? Who have we labeled in such a way that excuses us from loving them? Whether it's someone we disagree with politically, someone whose lifestyle we don't understand, or someone we believe “deserves” the consequences they're facing — we are reminded that the teaching of Jesus leaves no room for exclusion. We don't get to decide who deserves love. We simply get to extend it, because Jesus first loved us. And the message gets personal. Benjer shares how a group of teenagers at church camp, willing to sit under the Word of God with seriousness and humility, stirred his own heart. Their willingness to listen, respond, and be transformed by Scripture became the catalyst for this week's call: to slow down, stop crossing to the other side of the road, and live as the kind of neighbor Jesus modeled. By the end, the parable turns into a mirror. It's not just a story about someone else. It's a story about us. And if we take it seriously — if we dare to pray the dangerous prayer, “God, who are you calling me to be a neighbor to today?” — we might discover that Jesus has already answered. He calls us not to love from a distance or with conditions, but to love incarnationally. To see, to stop, to bind up wounds, to take risks, to pay costs, to walk with the hurting until they heal. This is the call to become a people — and a church — marked by the extravagant compassion of Jesus. A church where no label can override the title “neighbor.” A church that reflects the Good Samaritan who saw us lying in the road, broken and far from hope — and didn't pass by. Instead, He stopped. He loved. And He gave everything.

"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45 “Lead by Serving.” This powerful statement encapsulates the essence of true leadership, just as highlighted in Mark 10:45. In a world often driven by power and authority, Jesus demonstrated that the greatest leaders are those who choose to uplift others through their service. His life is a shining example of how humility and selflessness can lead to profound change in the lives of those around us. Think about the moments in your life when you felt most inspired. Often, it's not the grand gestures that leave a lasting impact but the small acts of kindness and service. Ronald Reagan once said, "The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one who gets the people to do the greatest things." As you reflect on this, consider how you can encourage and empower those in your community. By serving others, you can ignite their potential and help them achieve greatness. John 13:14-15 says, "So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example so that you should follow my example." Let's look at the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). In this parable, we see a man who goes out of his way to help someone in need, regardless of societal expectations or prejudices. His actions exemplify servant leadership — he prioritized compassion over convenience. You too can embody this spirit by seeking opportunities to serve those around you, whether through volunteering, lending a listening ear, or simply offering a helping hand. Your willingness to serve can create ripples of positivity that extend far beyond what you might imagine. In your journey toward becoming a servant leader, remember Philippians 2:3-4: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” In other words, true leadership stems from putting others first. Therefore, I encourage you to embrace this mindset daily and watch how it transforms not only your relationships but also your own heart. James 4:10 says, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you." Prayer for the Day! “Dear Lord, thank You for the ultimate example of servant leadership that Jesus has set for us. Holy Spirit, help us to follow in Christ's footsteps and cultivate a spirit of service in our lives. May we find joy in lifting others up and empowering them to shine. Lord, grant us the strength and wisdom to lead with love and humility. Amen.” Remember, as you go forth, you have the power to make a difference simply by serving others.

In this week's ALIVE reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer breaks open the well-known Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). We've all heard the story—but are we truly living it?   Jesus challenges us to stop crossing to the other side of the road and start stepping into the mess of others' lives with compassion. From hospitals to laws, the legacy of the Good Samaritan is everywhere… but the call is personal.  

We all feel it—that pull toward comfort, passivity, and self-preservation. In this week's message, Pastor Mike Wilson dives into the concept of “Social Loafing,” where people do less when others are around to do the work. It's a scientific reality—and a spiritual problem. Using Galatians 5:17 and James 1:22, Pastor Mike shows how our sinful nature is constantly in tension with the Holy Spirit, creating a gravitational pull that keeps us stuck. Left unchecked, this pull can lead us to believe lies like, “Someone else will do it,” or, “I have to do it all myself.” Drawing from the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37), we're reminded that compassion isn't optional—and passivity isn't neutral. Every believer has a role in building the Church and blessing their city. We also get challenged to trust God in our generosity and reminded that true transformation doesn't come from more strength—it comes from more surrender. Key Takeaway: You weren't saved by works, and you won't be sanctified by them either. Let go of “social loafing” and step into the full life Jesus offers—together with the Church. Need a challenge today? Ask yourself: Am I pulling my weight in my faith? Where have I said “someone else will do it”? Am I surrendering to Jesus or just trying harder?

Sermon June 29 - Good Samaritan: Luke 10:25-37 by Sunnybrook Christian Church

The Only Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)

*Some Additional things God requires of us*# 1. *Act Justly**Micah 6:8* – *“He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly…”*Justice isn't just a courtroom word—it's a lifestyle. God calls us to fairness, honesty, and standing up for the oppressed. Think of *Joseph*, who, though wronged by his brothers and imprisoned unjustly, chose integrity over revenge when he rose to power in Egypt.---#2. *Love Mercy**Micah 6:8* (continued) – *“…to love mercy…”*Mercy is love in action. Jesus showed this when He forgave the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1–11), reminding us that compassion triumphs over condemnation. We're called to extend grace, even when it's undeserved.---# 3. *Walk Humbly with God**Micah 6:8* (continued) – *“…and to walk humbly with your God.”*Humility is recognizing that we need God every step of the way. *Moses*, though a great leader, was called the most humble man on earth (Numbers 12:3). He leaned on God's presence, not his own strength.---# 4. *Love God Wholeheartedly***Matthew 22:37* – *“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”*This is the heartbeat of faith. *David*, a man after God's own heart, danced before the Lord with abandon (2 Samuel 6:14). Loving God means putting Him first—in worship, in decisions, in dreams.---# 5. *Love Your Neighbor**Matthew 22:39* – *“Love your neighbor as yourself.”*This love is practical—feeding the hungry, forgiving offenses, and building bridges. The *Good Samaritan* (Luke 10:25–37) didn't just feel compassion—he acted on it. That's the kind of love God desires.---# 6. *Obey His Commands**John 14:15* – *“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”*Obedience isn't about rules—it's about relationship. *Noah* built an ark when it had never rained. His obedience saved generations. When we trust God enough to obey, we step into His promises.---# 7. *Live by Faith**Hebrews 11:6* – *“Without faith it is impossible to please God…”*Faith is the fuel of the Christian life. *Abraham* left everything familiar, trusting God's promise. Faith means believing even when we can't see the outcome—and that pleases God deeply.---These are not just divine checklists—they're invitations to a deeper, richer walk with God. When we live justly, love deeply, and walk humbly, we reflect the very heart of our Creator.Pst Leke Toba.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 Every breath we take is a testimony of God's love for us. It's not because we are perfect; rather, it's because His love transcends our imperfections and shortcomings. As John 3:16 beautifully reminds us, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son." In other words, we are cherished beyond measure. In moments of doubt or despair, remember that His love is always present, ready to lift us up. Reflecting on God's unconditional love invites us to share this gift with those around us. Just as He extends grace to us, we can extend kindness and compassion to others. Consider the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), who exemplified love in action by helping someone in need without expecting anything in return. Let us strive to embody that same spirit of love and service in our daily lives. 1 John 4:18 says, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love." In times of loneliness, remember that you are never truly alone. God's love is closer than a brother's embrace, offering comfort and strength when we need it most. Psalm 23:4 reassures us, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me." His presence is a steadfast reminder that we are deeply loved and never abandoned. When storms rage and fires burn, God's love remains unshaken — our shelter and our song. It is in these trials that we often discover the depth of His mercy and grace. Lamentations 3:22-23 declares, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning." Each day brings fresh reminders of His loving kindness, inviting us to embrace hope anew.  Romans 5:8 says, "But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Prayer for the Day!Heavenly Father, thank You for Your boundless love that surrounds us every moment. Help us to recognize and share that love with others, reflecting Your light in a world that desperately needs it. May we walk in faith, trusting that Your grace is sufficient for all our needs. In Jesus' name, Amen. 

THE GOOD SAMARITAN 1. Who Should I Love? (v. 29) 2. How Am I Loved? (vv. 33-35) 3. How Shall I Love? (vv. 36-37)

I want to begin by saying that God has put each of us who are Christ-followers in this time, in this place in history, as we read in Esther, “for such a time as this.” So, we must first see this as an opportunity, privilege, and blessing to be part of God's plan for this time. It's no accident that we are living in this culture. Now, here's my first suggestion for sharing the gospel with people who don't care: Share your life. If anyone is going to be open to the gospel, it will be because they sense we are real people and we really care about them. Don't you hate those cold calls you get trying to sell you something? Usually, they try to sound so friendly and make you think they really care about you personally when they're selling a new cable system or whatever. But no matter how slick their presentation may be, you know they don't know you and they don't really care about you. They're just trying to make a sale. If we come off that way when we talk about our faith in Jesus Christ, it simply won't work. In reaching the people in Thessalonica, the Apostle Paul wrote that: we dared to tell you this gospel in spite of strong opposition. For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you (1 Thessalonians 2:2-3). He was facing very similar circumstances there as we do here, and he made it known that he was sharing the gospel with them because he cared for them. His motivation was transparent and pure. There was no hidden agenda with him. He further wrote: We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us (1 Thessalonians 2:8). When people believe we are sharing our faith in Jesus Christ with them because they are dear to us and that we are sharing not only our faith, but our lives with them, then there's hope that they will begin to believe the gospel is relevant, real, and worthy of consideration. So, if there are some people in your life right now who just simply don't seem to care about things of God, about hearing the truth of the gospel, don't be discouraged and don't give up. Share your life with them and let them know you care about them personally. That is a big step one in sharing the gospel with people who don't care. Here's another suggestion that can be powerful—tell stories. I never cease to be amazed at the power of storytelling. Jesus used parables almost exclusively in his short ministry on earth. That should give us the first clue that storytelling is an effective way of sharing truth because you and I will listen to a story, give it our full attention, and remember it better than anything else. Stories stick with you. Stories from the Bible are, of course, very powerful, so the more familiar you are with the stories of Scripture, the more you can tell them to others. For example, suppose you have a friend who is grieving over a wayward son or daughter. You could at an appropriate time tell them the story of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32) and encourage them to believe that there is hope for their child, too. Or if you're in a discussion about social issues, helping the poor, homeless people, or something similar, you could tell the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). You don't have to read from the Bible; just tell the stories of the Bible in your own words. I think of a friend, Kate, who spent five years in Afghanistan in a culture totally opposed to the gospel. She was very effective at sharing the gospel in that environment. Besides loving the people and caring about them, she also found that telling the stories of the Bible was the best way possible to share truth with them. Time and again God opened a door for her to share a Bible story. The women listened and learned, and many came to saving faith. Keep in mind it is not your job to win people to Christ. Only the Holy Spirit can do that.

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 ★

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

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.

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.

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.

The Good Samaritan : Luke 10:25-37 : Pastor Raef Chenery : 05-26-24 by Park Community Church

This series is a study of the gospel of Luke. Luke was a traveling physician and companion of the Apostle Paul. Each week, as we study Luke, we seek to find the prescription that this Christian doctor would prescribe for us to become more like Jesus.Doctor's Notes // Gifted & Discipled - Luke 10:1-20  // Pastor Matt Thompson // 05.19.24
