Eastside church of Christ Podcast - Luke 10.25–37, The Neighbor You Were Hoping to Avoid
Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
Series: 2026 - The Parables of Jesus: The Kingdom Story
Service: Sunday Worship
Type: Bible Message
Speaker: Phillip W. Martin
In this message from Luke 10:25–37, we explore Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan as an answer to the lawyer’s attempt to limit the command to “love your neighbor.” The sermon shows how our hearts instinctively draw boundaries around who counts as “neighbor,” and how Jesus explodes those limits by making the despised Samaritan the one who crosses the road in costly, uncalculated love. Before we are called to “go and do likewise,” we are called to see ourselves as the helpless man in the ditch whom Christ has already rescued.
