Today is the fourth Sunday for our summer sermon series, “Rise and Shine,” examining a number of passages that offer light as an image of God’s presence and grace. Preaching today is Thomas Kim, a UM elder in the Northern Illinois Conference and Director of Korean and Asian News at United Methodist Communications. The reading is the familiar parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke, wherein the root question is, “Who is my neighbor?” Rev. Kim gives modern examples of situations when loving one’s neighbor did not happen. Love is a verb. What matters is action: “Go and do likewise.”
