The parable of the Good Samaritan is a story to illustrate how we “love our neighbors as ourselves.”  When other people need our help the most, like the man on the road, is when our love for neighbor is truly tested.  We need to be a church that doesn’t condemn the world.  We don’t run from the world.  Nor do we blend into the world.  But we engage the world one person at a time.

Troy speaks on the parable of the Prodigal Son. Even when we feel unworthy, God still wants us and calls us to come home.

The thought of speaking truth into someone’s life is scary. Take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips. (Psalm 141.3 (NLT)

Words are containers of power that create action.  They build up or they tear down.  Words have the power to bring life or death physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Let this be our heart’s desire.  Psalm 119:14 (NLT)...14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

The clearest, most tangible evidence of your salvation is what comes out of your mouth.  No, you won’t always get it right, but it will happen less and less as you grow in your faith.

You don’t conform the teachings of Scripture to your lifestyle, you conform your lifestyle to the teachings of Scripture.

God created us in his own image. We as humans need to make sure we aren't looking at one another as objects like the Egyptians looked at and treated the Israelites when they were enslaved in Egypt.
