Jesus uses the parable of the Good Samaritan to cut right through our defenses: he exposes the wrong questions we love to ask when confronted with a neighbor in need. Questions that let us off the hook; allow us to limit who we must love. And then, with an unexpected hero, invites us to see the bigger, deeper questions that will draw us to love God enough to love our neighbor. Check out this week's message from Luke 10.

God repeatedly provides us with His very own short 'bio' in Scripture. In it He reveals who He identifies with and, naturally, who followers of Jesus are to identify with. The answer is both surprising and comforting, even as it calls us to be a people marked by doing justice. Check out this week's message from Deuteronomy 10.

In Isaiah 58 God speaks some of the most clear & convicting words in Scripture: real religion cannot be merely 'vertical.' If your prayer life doesn't change your horizontal relationships, if your food fast doesn't prompt you to fast injustice, then it's not the real religion He desires. Real religion is vertical and horizontal, it looks like the cross.

Jesus tells an arresting parable in Matthew 25. One day, He says, every human being (including you) will be judged based on whether or not your life is marked by doing biblical justice. The question is why: What does doing justice (and injustice) to our neighbors reveal about the human heart such that it can be the litmus test for where you will spend eternity? The answer is both simple & catalytic. Find out more in this week's message from Matthew 25:31-46.
