In a week marked by violence and hostility across our nation, we turned to Jesus’ call to be a community of hospitality in a culture of hostility.
This message from our Foundations series reminds us that true witness doesn’t start with pointing at the problems “out there,” but with letting Jesus search our own hearts. Before we can carry His love into a hurting world, we must repent of judgment, anger, or indifference and exchange them for His compassion.
Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, we’re reminded that our neighbors aren’t defined by categories or similarities rather they’re the people God puts in our path. To follow Jesus is to “Go and do likewise, ”to see, to stop, to have compassion, and to step toward those who are hurting.
Watch now as we explore how to practice authentic witness, and how ordinary moments can become powerful expressions of Jesus’ Kingdom.
