Subject:

• The story of the Good Samaritan. The Samaritans were hated by the Jews.
• Jesus takes us to the end. Where is that end? The Lord brings me in and binds my wounds.
• As the body grows, it requires workers who lay down their lives to serve.
• If you look at the things of the world you will never help as the Samaritan does.
• There was someone who cared for us. Our job is to love our neighbor.
• Jesus says: If you love me keep my commandments. Love is obedience.
• The place He prepares for us is there but until then we dwell in the body of Christ and minister one to another.
• We have to care about others as the Samaritan did. The Samaritan is hated of all men.
• Is Jesus welcome in your heart?
• The thief comes to kill steal and destroy. I am come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.
• There is only one life, Christ Jesus. If you’re not in Him, you’re dead.
• If we put the magnifying glass on us, we see we will look as bad as the evildoer a we want to come against because of what they do.
• An evildoer can be a murderer but a person walking in unbelief is also an evildoer. Now none of us looks so great.
• Worker of iniquity –walks in pride.
• When you walk in the light you bring accountability. Judgment falls.
• There has been no temple since 70 AD. The light came and darkness rejected it.
• Trust in the Lord and do good. Don’t trust in your heart, it is desperately wicked.
• Trust in the Lord and you don’t worry about things.
• Sacrifice of praise- no matter what is going on, do that and He meets you in your distress. That is the do good part.
• Thou shalt be fed. The Lord takes care of all our needs. If it isn’t a need, we may not get it.
• To esteem the things of God above every other thing is to delight ourselves in Him.
• That is how we welcome Him into our heart.
• If you are to operate in gentleness toward others, you have to overcome yourself and have to go through a fight and put off those feelings.
• People get weary in their minds. We all go through it, but it is not justifiable at all. Don’t let it win.
• You need to determine to walk in the kingdom of God no matter what comes against you, that people may know.
