You likely already know that the expression “good Samaritan” refers to someone who helps a stranger in a time of distress, and you may also know that it comes from a story Jesus tells in the Bible. But did you know that Jesus tells that story in response to a question: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” In this sermon, Pastor Mike shows us that to inherit eternal life, you must live a life of love. First we’ll talk about how you already know this, and then we’ll talk about how it’s more demanding than you might think.

Read sermon transcriptDoes God really love us? How do we know? This is the first question posed by the people of Israel in the book of Malachi, and God’s answer is an emphatic, “yes!”. God has loved you more than you deserve, and you know that more clearly when you see the judgment you deserve. And when you see that, you can begin to give God the glory he deserves.

The first 9 chapters of Luke answer the question, “who is Jesus?”: the Christ of God. Now, the focus shifts to the question, “what does it mean to follow him?”. Jesus said that anyone who would come after him, then, must deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow him. But what does that mean on the ground level? Pastor Mike shows us from Luke 9:51-62 that following Jesus means rejection without retaliation, and renunciation without regret. So first we’ll talk about rejection without retaliation, then renunciation without regret.
