“Your money, wealth, material possessions, and Jesus" // Pastor Rick Shelton

What does it really mean to be a good neighbor?In this message from our series Tell Me More About…, Pastor Rick Rusaw unpacks one of Jesus' most well-known teachings, the Parable of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25-37. As Jesus answers the question, “Who is my neighbor?”, we're challenged to move beyond comfortable faith and embrace a life marked by compassion, action, generosity, and genuine love for others.Through powerful stories and practical application, Pastor Rick reminds us that following Jesus means more than believing the right things. It means seeing people the way God sees them, stepping into messy situations, being willing to be inconvenienced, and loving our neighbors as ourselves.Jesus said that all of Scripture hangs on two commands: love God and love your neighbor (Matthew 22:37-40). This message challenges us to evaluate what we truly love, how we treat the people around us, and whether we're living out the mission God has placed before us.Scripture References:• Luke 10:25-37• Matthew 22:37-40• Deuteronomy 6:5• Leviticus 19:18At Trace Church in Colorado Springs, we believe every number has a name, every name has a story, and every story matters to God.Sunday Service Times8:15A | 10:00A | 11:45ALivestream 10:00A MST

He emphasizes that the human heart was created to worship, and if God isn't filling that void, other things—like sports, technology, control, or societal validation—inevitably will (19:35-20:20).Biblical Context: The message references the Israelites and the Golden Calf (8:33-12:50). He explains that the Israelites turned to idols because they could not sustain faithfulness without visible leadership, a pattern that persists today as people trade God's truth for cultural comfort (10:57-12:47).Four Ways We Become Idol Makers: Long outlines four specific ways we displace God in our lives:Trading trust for control (25:15-31:56).Seeking certainty in an uncertain world (29:33-35:04).Elevating others (or things) above God (35:04-44:53).Attaching our identity to something other than God (44:53-51:41).Practical Application: The speaker shares his personal experience of identifying idols and the importance of prayer, fasting, and surrendering control to God to find true peace, satisfaction, and significance (41:14-44:53, 58:02-59:03).The Gospel Message: Long concludes by pointing to Jesus Christ as the ultimate deliverer from idolatry. He offers an invitation to those who have not yet put their trust in Jesus to receive the gift of salvation and begin a new life (54:00-1:02:26).Additionally, the video includes church updates, including a prayer of blessing over staff members Tristan, Brooklyn, and Jacob (0:39-4:38), and a recap of the Men of Valor Conference (5:25-6:05).
