One Necessary Thing

Luke 10:38-42 In our study of Luke’s Gospel, we, we have come here to a scene that puts the authenticity of Scripture on display.  We see an older, very responsible sister, complaining about her younger sister.  So no matter what period of time in history, no matter what culture, some things like sibling conflicts, well, they just don’t change, do they?  So you’re going to find that section of Scripture recorded in Luke 10:38-42.  This is an account by the…

The One Who Showed Mercy

Luke 10:30-37 We’re continuing the study of the Good Samaritan story, and it’s found in Luke 10:30-37. We’re going to pick up where we left of last time—kind of. I’ll give you just a little bit of a review, here. The story of the Good Samaritan is, as you know, a simply story. It’s not complex or difficult. There’s a lot of detail there in an economy of words, but on the face of it, it’s a very simple story. …

The Loving Samaritan

Luke 10:29-35 Find your way to that well-worn area in your Bibles called Luke chapter 10. I invite you to turn there—Luke chapter 10. We’re going to be looking at the story of the Good Samaritan.

The story of the Good Samaritan itself begins in…

Luke 10:25-28 We’re in Luke chapter 10, verses 25-28, to continue what we were looking at last week. As we introduced this section last week, we learned that verses 25-28 are not merely a prelude or an introductory portion to lead us to the Good Samaritan story. But verses 25-28 are in and of themselves part one to a larger point, which is a warning about loveless religion. Many religious Jews sought to adhere to the letter of the law,…

Jesus and the Loveless Lawyer, Part 1

Luke 10:25-28 It is a joy to return to Luke’s Gospel, to come to a new section and find yet another opportunity to see and to savor Jesus Christ. If you’re not there already—Luke chapter 10—we’re going to be starting in verse 25, where we will meet a certain lawyer, a man with so much going for him. And yet he was so, so far away. At the beginning of Luke 10, as we’ve studied—just want to give you a…
