Loving Our City
October 25, 2026 • Pastor Robert Cavin • Luke 10:25–37
In the parable of the Good Samaritan, an expert in the law looks for a loophole in God’s command to love our neighbor, and Jesus turns his question around. Neighbor love has no loopholes, it stops for people in need, and it pays a real cost through compassion, contact, and care, even for those we distrust or dislike. Jesus calls us to love people who differ from us in beliefs, ethnicity, and nationality, and we love this way because Jesus first crossed the road for us.
