How Are We To Love Our Community Compassionately? Luke 10: 25-37 By Rev Julio Orozco Jr.
Welcome to Grace Community Church In today’s sermon Pastor Julio will be preaching about how to love our community compassionately
Overview:
The following words are often overlooked in the Lord’s prayer- Thy Kingdom Come. Upon closer inspection, these three words carry so much weight. We are the extension of the Kingdom of God in our sphere of influence, and one way we can show the kingdom of God to the watching world around us is by loving our neighbors. We already established at the outset that as believers, we ought to first love God completely and love one another correctly. But it doesn’t stop there, those two premises form the foundation of our love for the community around us. . In today’s Sermon, Reverend Julio Orozco will use the parable of the Good Samaritan, a very familiar passage in the book of Luke to teach us how to love our community compassionately.

How To Love Our Community Compassionately?
The Passage
25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two denarii[a] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
