    Looking For The Escape Clause?...the Good Samaritan

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 12, 2022
     | 3,075 views

    The story of the Good Samaritan was Jesus' way of blasting our excuses for trying to get out of obeying God to demonstrate compassion for the needy. An escape clause is a device in a contract to elude responsibility!

    LOOKING FOR THE ESCAPE CLAUSE?...The Good Samaritan Luke 10:25-37 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 3 LAWYER JOKES 1. JOKE 1: A lawyer died and went to Heaven. “There must be some mistake,” the lawyer argued. “I’m too young to die. I’m only 55.” “Fifty-five?” said Saint Peter. “No, according to our ...read more

    Joseph's brothers hated him and gave him plenty of reason to hate them back. Instead he did a surprising thing.

    They hated him. They despised him. They loathed the ground on which he walked. They had “good reasons,” to hear them tell it. • He was their father’s favorite. • He didn’t have to work hard as they did. • He dreamed that in the future his father, mother and 11 brothers would all bow before ...read more

    Jesus cries out on the last day of the Feast. This is a big message and He gives us insight into what will happen when He is glorified: streams of living water flowing from His believers through the Spirit. But, sadly, we today are not experiencing that the way that we should.

    INTRO: - This is a climactic moment. We’ve been talking the last few weeks about this extended scene that happens at the Feast of Tabernacles. There have been debates and discussions. There have been misunderstandings and confusion. Now we come to a moment when Jesus has something to shout ...read more
