Extravagant Love
July 9, 2023 Speaker: Derek Whalen Series: The Parables of Jesus
Topic: UPCC Passage: Luke 10:25-37
Listen to sermon here.
Sermon Outline
Big Idea:
Extravagant love is what is required. Extravagant love ought to mark every one of God’s children.
The set up:
- The Jewish definition of neighbor: other Jews
- Deut. 6:4-5 - Hear, O Israel: the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
- Lev. 19:18 - “You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.”
The Road
- The Victim
- The Priest
- The Levite
- Samaritan
Application
- Question #1: Is there evidence in my life that I am truly Christ’s?
- Question #2: Have I set parameters around who I am required to love?
Encouragement
Jesus not only empowers us to live like this, but he has also gone before us.
