Title: The Gospel of Luke: Samaritan Village Rejection Speaker: Greg Smith Event: Sunday Service Date: Jun 19 2022 Bible: Luke 9:51-56

Dionne (Dee) Coleman is the Executive Director of Samaritan Village in Orlando Florida. Samaritan Village is one of the only long-term residential programs for survivors of sex-trafficking in Central Florida. Although Dee is not a survivor of sex trafficking, she believes her personal experiences have helped her develop the empathy needed for the women she serves.

Listen In As We Discuss John 7:1-9 and Luke 9:51-56

Download Luke 9:18-10:24 We are in the Christ Stream reading from the New King James Version. 7streamsmethod.com | @7StreamsMethod | @serenatravis | #7Stream | Donate Commentary by Dr. Drake Travis Luke 9:18ff - Today is a goldmine of lessons.  Here they are, itemized: Peter's landmark statement is basically, "God sent you".  Anointed One = Christ Peter was following Jesus because He knew God sent Him - He wasn't following Him because Jesus was going to be crucified. But the reminder of te crucifixion comes right on the heels of Peter's confession. The Transfiguration; also in Mark 9, is an overwhelming memo to the "inside-3"; Peter/James/John that those who follow God never die and they never leave God The next day when Jesus encounters a boy who gets seizures from a bad spirit that is harassing him, we get a statement from Jesus that many find troubling. "Oh faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you...?" It hits y'sideways but there is triple motivation in Jesus' words if we let them sink in.  1] do not fool around with darkness for it won't let go of you. 2] Learn how to expel darkness and their powers - take authority v.s being a victim (btw, I am teaching on this all the time!) 3] Learn from me while I am here, so pay attention NOW.  Next, Jesus doubles down and tells of His Passion week again. The tussle of the disciples arguing about who would be greatest was not their last such juvenile discussion. Boys will be boys, eh? (my husband told me to say that!)  It's a worldwide phenomenon to joust for first place.  Jesus makes a perfect teaching moment reminding them to serve all v.s. compete with all. The point that the disciples bring up when a man is casting out demons is as silly as being perplexed that the whole world doesn't attend YOUR church with YOU. Hey, when someone is following Jesus quit fussing that their socks aren't perfect enough to walk in your parade - or any myriad of other inane concerns that accomplish nothing except waste brain cells and time. The lesson Jesus taught after the Samaritan Village shunned them is worth taking to heart... along with everything else: better learn to handle rejection, folks! Jesus' teaching about the cost of discipleship comes next. Some may have looked at Jesus operating and thought, "free food, free healthcare, sign me up!" He lets the one man know that it isn't always free housing too... Make what you will of that.  The others demonstrate the difference between them and when Jesus called the 12 who all dropped what they were doing and followed.  When someone is going to follow Jesus, all other priorities come below, after, later, many need to be eradicated permanently.  When Jesus calls, NEVER say "in a minute / wait until I... ? / just as soon as ... / I can't until after I download a few more, etc.  When Jesus says "come now", gee, what should be done? If that has to be explained again, no amount of explanation is going to be enough. 10 - Jesus sending out the 72 is a historical move with historical results.  They were given orders, with no back out or back up plan. They were to heal and proclaim, not to fret rejection, and know that their acceptance or rejection of Jesus' was a tremendous decision each would be making.  Those who turned away Jesus may as well prepare to be treated like the city of Sodom/Gomorrah - not good! The 72 return and are as excited as school kids with ice cream at recess.  Jesus reminds them to keep a proper attitude among all the successful ministry.  What excitement there is in following Jesus!!

Jesus accepts an invitation to stay with the Samaritans before returning to Galilee.

In this episode of I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, I invited Dionne Coleman, Executive Director of Samaritan Village, to talk about a topic that we don’t address enough.  As a community leader in Central Florida who is determined to eradicate human trafficking and helping restore the lives of women who have been victims of horrific experiences, Dionne debunks some of the misconceptions we may have about victims and perpetrators. While the pandemic may seem to have created barriers for all types of activity, she knows from experience that human traffickers always find a way and she wonders what new signs her team will have to be on the lookout for to identify women who are being victimized.  She also shares the challenges her organization faces in reaching and communicating to diverse communities about the prevalence and signs of human trafficking, in order to prevent it and report it.

Our unchallenged beauty contracts impact how we treat ourselves and others. As the founder of J's Everyday Fashion, one of the internet’s first-ever budget fashion blogs, Jeanette Johnson’s life was steeped in beauty. But as you’ll hear, her experiences set her on a journey to not only begin to question our unspoken beauty contracts, but to challenge the entire idea that we get our value from how we look.   Guest Bio Jeanette Johnson is the founder of one of the first-ever budget fashion blogs, J's Everyday Fashion. She is the author of two books, regularly speaks at conferences, and is on the board of directors of Samaritan Village, a residential recovery home for women survivors of sex trafficking. She is also the co-founder of Wall Crawl, a one-of-a-kind photo studio concept in downtown Orlando, as well as EDEN & IVY, a socially conscious clothing line that employs women survivors of trafficking in Nepal, coming to HSN this summer. She is a native of Kansas, and a graduate of the University of Kansas. She lives in Orlando with her husband.   Mentioned in this Episode   Guest’s website: https://www.thebeautycontract.com/ J’s Everyday Fashion: https://jseverydayfashion.com/home   Connect with the 60 Mindful Minutes podcast   Web: https://kristenmanieri.com Email: Kristen@kristenmanieri.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/60MindfulMinutes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristenmanieri_/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/kristenmanieri/

Today’s guests are Dee Coleman and Lindsey Holcomb. Both of them serve at Samaritan Village, Dee as the executive director and Lindsey as the communications coordinator. According to their website, Samaritan Village is a safe home and therapeutic program for adult survivors of sex trafficking.This episode is by far one of the most eye-opening, emotional, and practical on the podcast thus far. There were several moments where all of us in the room were left speechless as Dee and Lindsey unpacked the realities of sex trafficking in 2020, specifically in Orlando.We don’t intend for this episode to invoke fear, but simply to educate and encourage action for those who’ve been victimized by this unspeakable practice. As a disclaimer, the following conversation includes descriptions of sexual abuse and content some listeners or young ears may find unsettling. Listener discretion is advised.

We have reflected on the three powers of the soul: the intellect, will and passions. The passions are the God-given desires, feelings, or emotions designed to propel us toward what is good and away from what is evil. There are eleven fundamental passions: Love, desire, joy, hate, aversion, sorrow, hope, despair, fear, courage and anger. Because of Original Sin we have a fallen human nature. Now, instead of our feelings and desires propelling us toward good and away from evil they do just the opposite – we have a strong attraction to sin and an aversion, a dislike for the things of God. This is one reason it is so hard to spend time in prayer and we would almost like to do anything else. This condition puts us in great danger. God will not force us to choose him. We must freely choose friendship with him. But in our fallen state, we have this aversion to the things of God and a strong attraction to sin. If we do not reverse this trend it will grow stronger until we see God at death, at which time we still have an aversion to Him, and we might reject Him. Well, how could someone see God and not want him? The rich young man in Matthew 19, the Samaritan Village in Luke 9 and the Pharisees upon seeing with their own eyes Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead, all rejected Him. Why? Because they had the habit of an aversion for the things of God and a stronger attraction to sinful things of this world. Vice is to be attracted to sin and an aversion to good, to the things of God. Virtue is the habit of being attracted to good and an aversion to evil. So how do we change our vice to virtue – that is the point to today's meditation. So how do you get virtue? How do you get your feelings to pull you the right way? There are two complementary techniques: The first is resisting misdirected feelings. This is sometimes called checking the passions, or, more commonly, “fake it till you make it.” If you do the right thing, over and over, eventually your urges will get in line. Most people don't start out liking exercise, but if they keep at it they begin to look forward to their morning run. People usually don't start out enjoying prayer, but if they pray anyway, day after day, they get to the point where they can't do without it. The same goes for abstaining from bad behavior you're inclined to: if you have a habitually dirty mouth, you'll want to say horrible things when you get angry – but if you resist that urge long enough, you'll get to the point where you're accustomed to clean speech, and where you hate the sound of profanity and vulgarity. The second technique is to mentally focus on pleasing aspect of what's good and displeasing aspects of what's bad. This is sometimes called commanding the passions. You can use St. James' image, about how a small flame – unworthy talk – can burn down a whole forest of good. Whatever image works to help you realize how deadly gossip is, use that, focus on that, picture that. And eventually your desire to gossip will wane. In any case what you want to remember is that your emotions are, to some degree, under your control. They are voluntary “either from being commanded by the will, or from not being checked by the will.” So it doesn't work to just say, “Well, that's just the way I feel,” or “There's nothing I can do about how I feel.” The whole point of virtue is that there is something you can do about how you feel, which means you can come to delight in both the fruits and the process of acting well. Then read, reflect, and resolve. If you practice meditation and a resolution every day, you will grow in your desire for God and the habit of choosing Him. If you don't, you will grow in your aversion for God and you will choose sin and reject God. Now you choose!

Responding to Rejection (Luke 9:51-56) Jesus is now leaving Galilee and heading towards Jerusalem. We will see three different characters/groups (Jesus, Samaritan Village, James & John) with three different purposes. I think the goal is to evaluate whether our own mission/purposes are aligned with Christ's kingdom purposes. We so easily focus on our own agenda to the neglect of Christ's mission. This will also be the theme of the passage that follows. It also complements our text this morning. Take The post “Responding to Rejection” (Luke 9:51-56) appeared first on Grace Presbyterian Church (PCA).

Dee Coleman, Executive Director of Samaritan Village joins the Hunters to talk about the beneficial efforts being made to help formerly sexually trafficked victims heal from their trauma and live fulfilling and productive lives.

Human trafficking is one of the darkest subjects in our world, and the extent of the "plague on humanity," as the Pope has called it, is far-reaching. But that doesn't mean we don't have a way forward.

Show Topic:  We told the story of DAYTOP from its founding through it's eventual closure and merger with Samaritan Village, to become Samaritan DAYTOP. (See our podcasts DAYTOP Parts 1, 2, & 3)  There still appears to be however some unconfronted, and unvented feelings, thoughts, and opinions, as to the cause of the demise of DAYTOP as an insititution and a standard bearer in the substance abuse treatment field. We'll see if we can separate some fact from fiction. Show Segments:  Happy Recap, Show Topic, Recovery Support Time

In this lesson, we examine an episode wherein a village rejects the coming of Jesus and a vignette where Jesus answers questions about what others have to give up to follow himi.
