In this message from the Won’t You Be My Neighbor? series, we explore Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 and the deeper question behind it: not just who our neighbor is, but how we often try to justify ourselves instead of living with true compassion. The sermon highlights how fear, busyness, and competing priorities can keep us from loving others well.

This Easter, we’re starting a new series by rethinking what it means to be a neighbor in a disconnected world. From the familiar influence of Mister Rogers to the life and message of Jesus, we’re invited to see how compassion, inclusion, and everyday relationships can shape our lives—and the lives around us. This is a simple idea, but it has the power to change more than we think.

Psalm 42

Every disciple of Jesus fights for sanctification.

Sanctification is the antidote. Sanctification is the process of pressing sin the world, the flesh, and the devil out of our souls and out of our spheres.
