In Luke 10:25-37 Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan. In this week’s sermon, Fr. Gerry McDermott helps us understand the forgiveness required for the Samaritan to show compassion. Forgiveness is a necessary component of loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Paul says, “For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another” (Gal. 5:13). How do Christians live in freedom without using it for our own ends? This week, Fr. Michael encourages us to walk in step with the Holy Spirit as we love one another in true Christian freedom.

In Luke 9:20 Peter confesses that Jesus is the Christ of God. As important as this confession is in the life of every believer, Fr. Michael reminds us that our discipleship entails much more than our confession. Our faith is a costly faith. Listen to this important message on Luke 9:18-24.
