Mercy is the Long Game
When Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan, He isn’t just teaching kindness — He’s exposing the difference between tribal religion and kingdom allegiance. Mercy is not a personality trait but a mark of belonging to Him. With Terry, explore how boundary-protecting faith can stay close to truth while remaining far from compassion, and how the cross reveals the boundary God crossed to reach us. The question is no longer “Who is my neighbor?” but whether we will become one.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
