In this week's message from our new series Storyteller, we're stepping into one of Jesus' most well-known parables: the Good Samaritan. It's a story that pulls love out of theory and places it right in the middle of real life—messy, inconvenient, and transformational. Join us this Sunday as we explore what it means to love with gospel-shaped eyes, to cross the road when it's easier to walk away, and to become the kind of neighbor Jesus calls us to be.

Jesus responds to a lawyer trying to test him with a parable. His teaching continues to marvel and astonish the crowds. In the parable, the Good Samaritan helps the hurt man out of compassion. For us, we are certainly called to show mercy to others, but must remember that Jesus showed mercy to us first. He is the true and better Good Samaritan who meets us in our brokenness, and at great cost to Himself, restores us back. 

In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus isn't just calling us to be nicer people, but is revealing our inability to love perfectly. He exposes the self-justifying heart and shows that true love is costly, sacrificial, and supernatural. We are reminded of our need for grace, of the radical love we've received in Christ, and that the Spirit of God is working to conform us into the image of our Savior. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Pastor Ben begins our Great Storyteller Sermon Series. We dive into the parable about the good samaritan.

Send us a textPhilip Yancey's courageous and penetrating new book, his memoir - Where the Light Fell - will be released on October 5. There's a big audience for Philip's story. There are over 100 million claim to have experienced Christian fundamentalism and 25 million more identify as "exvangelicals." Brother Marshall, a musical prodigy, had perfect pitch. Philip's  father contracted polio and died when Philip was only 18 months old. Ken notes that Philip's experience in segregationalist fundamentalism is extreme. Paul Van Gorder, Bob Jones, Jr., Lester Maddox all would come to Philip's church. The Prophecy Conferences were an annual event, providing much to fear. Tony Evans came to the church, and was turned away.  Philip's mother, a well known Bible teacher, struggled to make ends meet but never quite recovered from her husbands passing. The three Yancey's lived in a mobile home, located in an Atlanta area "trailer park." The Lost Cause narrative permeated church life, but high school opened new perspectives for Philip.  He shares bitter-sweet memories of church life. Philip appeared as the Southern preacher Elijah in a high school performance of Inherit the Wind. In Bible College, Philip had a reputation as an intellectual rebel, reading Bertrand Russell and Harvey Cox. Then he met his match, Janet. The parable of the Good Samaritan changed everything. He would later write. What's So Amazing about Grace. George Beverly Shea's song touches Philip.SHOW NOTES Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show. Thank you!

KC and his neighborhood friends help kids learn God's Word and understand how to apply it to their every day lives through Bible stories about Jesus, Bible memory verses, object lessons and so much more! Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan who showed his love for others by helping someone who didn't love him first. Kids learn that God wants us to love others the way that He loves us.

In this episode of the 620 Life podcast, we explore one of Jesus' most well-known parables—the story of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25–37. But this isn't just a Bible story—it's a challenge to each of us to live out our faith with compassion, mercy, and action.We begin with a real-world story of a man who, during a devastating hurricane, took it upon himself to help others. With his personal boat and no outside help, he rescued over 120 people, asking nothing in return. His actions mirror the Samaritan in Jesus' parable: a person who stopped, saw the need, and took action—regardless of status, race, or recognition.We break the parable down into meaningful parts, using Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments to emphasize what it means to truly love your neighbor. From the excuses of a religious elite to the unexpected compassion of an outsider, this episode examines what holiness and obedience really look like.True godliness is more than words—it's love in action. Whether you're rescuing someone in a flood or simply helping a neighbor in need, this episode will remind you that every act of mercy matters.Join us as we ask the hard questions, reflect on powerful truths, and challenge ourselves to “Go, and do thou likewise.”

Orthodoxy and Orthopraxis (right belief and right practice) are intimately tied together. All of the fathers and, in particular, Saint Isaac the Syrian want us to understand that our perception of revelation, who God is to us and what we have become in his Son through the Paschal mystery, and how we live our life are inseparable. God has revealed himself to us in a unique and distinctive fashion, and has made known to us our dignity and destiny in Christ. Therefore, having a clear understanding of our human nature, the sickness of sin and the passions that follow and the healing that takes place through Grace is imperative. Isaac pushes us to understand that virtue is the natural health of the soul and the passions are an illness of the soul that follow and invade our nature and despoil its proper health. One can see how essential this is when looking at our life in this world and the struggles of the spiritual life. We can attribute sin and the hold that passions have upon us simply to human nature. However, when we do this, we lose sight of the fact that we have been created in the image and likeness of God and that sin is antecedent to that reality. We have been created for love and to manifest this love through virtue. A faulty or incomplete understanding of human anthropology and psychology, has often been the pretext that the Evil One uses to distort our vision to the point that we willingly embrace that which enslaves us.  To understand that we have been created good, conversely, establishes a firm desire within the human heart for that which is of God. It also establishes confidence and hope in the grace of God who tells us precisely that he has come not to judge the world but to save it!  One of the beautiful things that the desert fathers would have us understand is that Christ is the divine physician who has come to heal us. He is the Good Samaritan from the gospel who takes our burden upon himself in order that we might be nursed to the fullness of health.  Again, if Isaac makes us work to understand this, we must see it as a labor of love. To grasp these truths allows us to give free expression to our desire for God and to run towards Him with the freedom of those aided by His Grace. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:52 Fr.

I've heard the term used roughly in the sense of "emotions" (i.e. anger, sadness, etc.), but does Isaac mean it more in the sense of "temptations"? I think you may have just explained this now, but in that case, could you briefly restate this? 00:30:04 Suzanne Romano: Does Isaac distinguish between original nature and fallen nature? 00:33:15 David: I found this helpful from Fr.

Witnesses said a bystander in the right place at the right time jumped in to stop a gunman who shot two people near Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle.The shooting suspect was just 16, and KOMO News has learned that he teamed up with several accomplices to confront a group of young people around 10 p.m. Wednesday at First Avenue and Union Street, in the heart of the city's tourism district.As the gunfire began, a man with his own firearm stepped out of the shadows and killed the teenage shooter. The medical examiner has since identified the deceased as Kale Vaughn Kellen Nusbaum. All three people were shot in front of the Four Seasons hotel, and many of the rounds struck a condominium building across the street.

Today, we are in week 5 of our series Get Off Your Donkey 2.0. In 2023, we spent six weeks looking at Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan—a Samaritan man traveling along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho and finds someone lying on the side of the road—robbed, beaten, and left for dead. Instead of continuing on his way (like those before him), the Samaritan gets off his donkey, cleans up the man's wounds, and takes him to an inn where he can recover. Jesus tells this parable to illustrate that our faith is not just about what we believe, but also about what we do—our faith calls us to get off our donkey and care for others, particularly those in need. We've brought back this “Get Off Your Donkey” series as a way to acknowledge that sometimes, faith-in-action looks like meeting immediate needs—cleaning someone's wounds or giving them food to eat. Other times, faith-in-action looks like doing systemic work—advocating so that all might have the things they need to thrive, and working to change systems that cause harm. Our United Methodist social principles are a great way to illustrate this work. These principles aren't church law, but they call each of us to engage with the world around us, and to live like Jesus—compassionately working for justice for each and every one of God's creations. This week, we are taking a look at how our faith calls us to work for justice for all sexual orientations and gender identities.

In this exploration of the Parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10, we're challenged to reexamine our understanding of what it truly means to be a neighbor. This familiar story takes on new depth as we consider its racial and social implications, pushing us beyond our comfort zones. Being a good neighbor isn't just about proximity, but about radical love and sacrifice. We're called to both 'gospel messaging' and 'gospel neighboring' - not just sharing the good news, but living it out in tangible ways. Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

Sermon Title ~Luke: The Upside-Down King Scripture ~Luke 14:16-24 Luke's Gospel contains some of Jesus' most loved teachings, including the parables of the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan. Yet, it is these very parables and the way Jesus lived out the themes contained in them that got him killed. When viewed as Luke intended, this is a Gospel about an upside-down kingdom and its king who has no problem challenging the way of the world.

Today we'll talk about Jesus's answer to "who is my neighbor".

This Memorial Day weekend, Pastor Will challenges us to slow down to see. In a season packed with plans and pressure, we risk missing what—and who—really matters. Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, we're reminded that love requires margin. Don't live at the speed of busy—this summer, make space to notice, care, and be a true neighbor.

A Kingdom Upside Down | Week 11: The Good Samaritan | Zach Bloye

The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of the most familiar and beloved stories in the Bible. But what is it doing in Luke's Gospel, and what is the point for us?

From the Storyteller sermon series: Outrageous What is Kingdom of God like in Good Samaritan? We are the ones in ditch. That's the point. It is not a morality tale doing good for your the neighbor you hate. Jesus reconciles enemies to God through His own resources, cost, kindness. Only those experiencing this kindness in dire, naked, dying, helpless, injured, need will ever be able to extend it. Plot twist: It is through His own naked dying abandonment. The scriptures covered in this sermon are Luke 10:25-37

Episode 264 - Jubilee and the Good Samaritan Why do we leave what's good and go searching for answers in places that break us? This week, the friars unpack the story of the Good Samaritan through the lens of the Jubilee year. What draws us away from the peace and identity we have in God—toward places that leave us wounded and empty? Whether it's the orphan mindset, performance pressure, or endless distractions, we all carry brokenness. But Jesus meets us there, not with judgment, but healing. He carries us home, restoring what's been lost. This episode talks about the Good Samaritan and how it relates to the heart of the Jubilee.

This week, Pastor Daniel reminded us of the weight of the mission Jesus gave us—to go into all the world and live as His hands and feet. Inspired by the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10, Pastor Daniel confronts our comfort, opens our eyes to the hurting around us, and challenges us to step into the kind of love that takes action and costs something. Join us every Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the LSM Building!

Who is my neighbor?- We can have all our theology straight, but it means nothing if we are not loving and serving people. Jesus shared the parable of the Good Samaritan to show that our faith needs to be demonstrated through our actions.

Have you been comforted by a counterfeit? In this eye-opening message, we dive deep into what it means to truly receive comfort from the Holy Spirit—and how the enemy offers false comforts that keep us stuck in spiritual ditches. Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, you'll see yourself not just as the helper, but as the one in need of rescue. You'll be challenged to stop self-justifying and start reaching for the God of all comfort — the only One who can truly lift you out. Jesus didn't just promise us power—He promised us another Comforter. And until we learn to stop turning to the wrong things (or people) for comfort, we'll keep digging our pit deeper. If you're ready to stop settling for counterfeit peace and step into the fullness of God's comfort, this message is for you.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/UwnYctoUtyUDay 4 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 25, 2025. I covered it on May 1st when court was not in session. The Jury went to view the property at 34 Fairview Rd where John O'Keefe was found dead. Special Prosecutor Hank wanted the jury to observe specific details at the scene, such as the Lexus, rear tail light, bumper height, flagpole, and fire hydrant. David Yannetti ended his instructions with, "you will do a proper investigation." Judge Cannone reread the Jury View instructions, reinforcing that jurors are only to observe and not conduct their own investigations.Dr. Garrey Faller, Chief of Pathology at Good Samaritan, testified to the methods of testing blood alcohol levels. At Cross Examination, attorney Elizabeth Little made a key point that the Hospital at Good Samaritan is a medical lab, not a forensic lab, meaning the blood test was for treatment purposes, not forensic purposes. This might not matter to jury as much due the interview clips of Karen Read admitting to driving slower while intoxicated and that she had been adding shots to her drink because they were weak so she didn't have as many as the Commonwealth had accounted for.Jason Becker, the Fire Paramedic, who arrived at the scene with Daniel Whitley to put Karen Read in a Section 12 Hold. Mr. Becker had a conversation with Karen Read about her "last word" or "last conversation" with John O'Keefe. The Prosecution was aiming for it to seem that it could be about a fight they had when she dropped him off at 34 Fairview Rd while the Defense was aiming for it to be that Karen read was concerned about the voicemails she left him that night. Jason Becker said that Karen read tried to show him her phone about missed called but he refused to go through her phone. Mr. Becker said he never heard Karen mention anything about voicemails. Whether the jury believes that Karen Read was upset about her last words to John O'Keefe being a fight in the car, or her voicemails after she left him at 34 Fairview Rd, could impact acquittal of charges 1 and 3 which needs to prove intent. Remember, if there are two reasonable interpretations, the jury must pick the interpretation that leads to innocence.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy
