Who is my neighbor? Who do I need to love? Who do I inconvenience myself for? Who do I let interrupt my plans?

This week, Pastor Jared Darby walked us through the story of the Good Samaritan. He gave us some context to this well-known story and showed us how Jesus sets an example of radical generosity.
