Oil and Wine
In a time of distress people tend to separate themselves into small groupings. They pull back to and group up with the people most like them, usually close family and friends. In doing so they often shut out all others, whether by intention or not. This morning Terry takes us through a different look at the story of the Good Samaritan. As the church we must have compassion and mercy for all those around us, even if they aren’t Christian, even if they aren’t like us. We are called to give mercy and have compassion regardless.
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.
