Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
This message begins with the questions: what leads to eternal life? and who is my neighbor?, and ends with one of Jesus' most famous parables – the story of the Good Samaritan. We learn of our creator’s purpose for us—we should love God wholly and love our neighbors as ourselves. The surprising compassion of the Samaritan traveler breaks down man-made barriers that separate people and points to Jesus sacrificial rescue of wounded souls like us.
Scripture References: Luke 10:25-37
From Series: "Invited: Stories of Welcome in the Gospel of Luke"
Sermons this summer will focus on portraits of Jesus found in Luke’s gospel. Our recent studies in the life of David pointed forward to Israel’s true sovereign and now we turn to accounts of Jesus whom David called, ”my Lord”. We quickly discover that the ‘son of David’ is much greater than any of the ancients had anticipated. Israel’s king is in fact the savior of the world, the Lord of all. Luke is an apt herald of this message. As the only Gentile among the gospel writers Luke is especially attuned to Jesus’ welcome of those who were outside, unworthy and rejected. The “beloved physician” wrote his account of Jesus’ life as the first of two volumes, knowing he would also recount the story of witnesses who told the world of its savior. After a summer in Luke we will begin the journey of Acts in September.

Advanced Sermon Catalog
Enter search parameters to narrow the sermon list appearing below. Scroll to the bottom of the page for additional search tips.
Tips
- Enter multiple search parameters to narrow the list to sermons matching all of them. For example, choose
- Book: Psalms
- Speaker: Stedman, Ray
to see sermons by Ray Stedman that also have a specific reference in the Psalms.
- Click on the Clear Filters button to see the whole list again. If you are getting no results, make sure that you don’t have an unintended filter parameter or search term remaining in place.
- Click on a column title to sort the list by that column. Click a second time to reverse the sort order. By default the list is ordered from newest to oldest (reverse chronological).
- The Book filter will not find every sermon that touches on a particular book
- it cannot find sermons where the book name does not appear in the Scripture References column, e.g. filtering on Luke does not find a sermon with references of “Matthew – Revelation”.
- Scripture References in the catalog are not complete for all sermons for various reasons
- If you are exploring the library by Date, note that the date selector has unfortunate limitations:
- Typed in dates must be in the format shown in the sermon list: 20 Jan 2019. Other formats such as 1/20/19 do not work.
- In the calendar browser that pops up, you can click on the month/year at the top to move by larger periods of time. For example, if “JANUARY 2019” is displayed and you click on it you can choose months in 2019, click again and you can navigate through years.
- Typed in dates will sometimes be misinterpreted and replaced: try editing the replacement text into your desired date rather than clearing the field and starting over.
- The Search field only searches the catalog list of sermons displayed on this page. Unfortunately we do not have the capability to search the text of sermons at this time.
