In week two of our "Journey to Jerusalem" Lenten series, Pastor Tom Kang takes an honest look at one of Jesus' most famous—and most domesticated—teachings: the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

Set against the backdrop of real-world headlines, global conflicts, and anxieties right here in Los Angeles, this message challenges us to look beyond our comfortable boundaries. Pastor Tom unpacks how Jesus flipped the legal expert's question from a static "who is my neighbor?" to an action-oriented "who has become a neighbor?" We are reminded that true compassion requires proximity, not just policy, and that love in action means stepping into the messiness of life rather than passing by on the other side.
