Neighbor in the Greek is plésion or any other person. According to the teaching of Christ, any other man or person irrespective of race or religion with whom we live or whom we chance to meet.

To error on the side of love means when you’re unsure what to do, say, or assume—you intentionally choose the response that is most compassionate, gracious, and kind, even if it risks being more generous than necessary.

KINDNESS THAT ONLY FEELS… PASSES BY

It’s possible to become a church that talks about compassion, sings about love and feels deeply, but never actually launches into action.

REAL KINDNESS GETS INVOLVED

KINDNESS WILL COST YOU SOMETHING

Isn’t it interesting that we don’t hesitate to take, but we often hesitate to give.

Jesus didn’t just feel love for us; He acted on it. John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that He gave…

JESUS IS THE ULTIMATE GOOD SAMARITAN

GO AND DO LIKEWISE

What an amazing end to this story.

Jesus ends the story with one command: “Go and do likewise.”
Not: “Go and feel likewise”
Not “Go and think about it”
NOT “Go and post about it”
Go and DO it.

HOW DO WE LIVE THIS OUT?
1. Open your eyes
2. Stop making excuses
3. Take one step
4. Make kindness a lifestyle

This week God is going to give you an opportunity. You’ll see a need. You’ll feel something. And in that moment, you’ll have a choice: Pass by…OR Step in.

Living Water Family Church is not just a place that feels compassion…
We are a church that acts on it.

Instead of going out together this week we are going to do a 7 Day Kindness Challenge.

One intentional act of kindness every day for 7 days.
