Stranger & Neighbor
Who is my neighbor? It’s a question meant to set limits, but Jesus answers with a story that shatters boundaries. The parable of the Good Samaritan challenges us to see beyond labels—inviting us to turn strangers into neighbors through radical love.
Scripture References: Luke 10:25-37
From Series: "Rewrite the Story"
Jesus’ ministry is marked by a radical reimagining of what it means to live in God’s story. In the Gospel of Luke, we see him breaking barriers, defying expectations, and offering transformative hope to those on the margins. This series explores how Jesus reframes our understanding of faith, forgiveness, and glory by rewriting the story. From the extraordinary faith of a centurion to the tender forgiveness offered to a sinful woman, and from the doubts of John the Baptist to the awe of the transfiguration, Jesus invites us to see God’s love in new and surprising ways. These stories reveal a God who is rewriting our narratives of shame, struggle, and exclusion into stories of grace, healing, and belonging. As we reflect on these moments, we are challenged to let God reshape our own stories, inviting us into deeper faith and a broader vision of God’s transforming work in the world.
