We are all born of God’s love, but what gets in the way of us experiencing it? In this week’s sermon, we explore how our biological needs for security, power, and affection can dominate our lives and become our idols. We’ll look at the stories of the Israelites, the Colossians, and a man caught in a family feud to see how our attachments to worldly possessions and concerns can blind us to God’s love. We’ll discover that our life is a gift from God, and true wealth is not the accumulation of possessions but in being “rich toward God.” Join me as we consider what it means to be truly free and to set our minds on things above, on Christ.

“Leaving the home of Mary and Martha, Jesus needed time to rest – and time to pray. Asked by one of the disciples, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Jesus quickly answered with a prayer, a prayer short on words and phrases, yet broad in the territory it embraces. The Our Father has remained at the heart of Christian life and community for two thousand years. Prayer is a conversation, a conversation with God. A conversation as real as any heart-felt discussion we might have with a friend about what is bothering us, and them, at any time. In the Our Father, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray boldly, to pray with courage and to pray with expectation! “So I say to you,” says our Lord, “ask and it will be given you; search and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened.” Luke 11:9”

In this sermon, I delve into the Parable of the Good Samaritan, a story universally recognized, even inspiring “Good Samaritan laws”. While often interpreted simply as a call to help those in need, I explore its deeper meaning, particularly through the lawyer’s question, “And who is my neighbour?”. Jesus challenges us to define “neighbour” not from a position of strength, but from the ditch of desperate need. This parable invites us to radical, sacrificial love and sustained commitment, urging us not only to act as Good Samaritans but also to transform the “Jericho road” itself. Join us as we uncover Jesus’s call to live a life of holistic love, service, and advocacy.
