good samaritan

During the pandemic, Emily Smith started sharing her professional knowledge as the Friendly Neighbor Epidemiologist. More than 100K people started following her message of loving neighbors in the context of COVID-19, and now Emily has released a new book: The Science of the Good Samaritan: Thinking Bigger about Loving Our Neighbors.

Emily says: "Neighboring like the Good Samaritan is about giving food to a food pantry at the holidays and/also interrupting co-workers when they say something bigoted. It's donating old clothes and/also understanding the clothes production and distribution pipeline in the world is unequal. It's loving those around you deeply and/also noticing those on the side of the proverbial roads more and more.

In this sermon, Dr. Barrett Duke, one of our elders and Executive Director of the MTSBC, shared how to identify our neighbor and what it looks like to be a good neighbor.

Ashley Belknap, Director of Engaging Disability With The Gospel, and joins us in part two of our Summer Series: Uniting Through our Differences, to share insights on how we might love our friends who are touched by disability. 

Every Jewish  person would have certainly known the command: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” When a man asked Jesus what exactly was meant by “neighbour”, it sounds as if he was trying to get out of his responsibility under the Law. By telling the parable of a Samaritan who helped a complete stranger, Jesus made it plain that anyone in need is our neighbour.

Bible verses used in this episode:

Luke 10:25-37

Outline:

1. A teacher tests Jesus (Luke 10:25-29)
2. A parable about a good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-35)
3. Jesus tests the teacher (Luke 10:36-37)

Tips for teaching:

• Children can act the parable out. 
• Write “Luke 10:25-37” on a bandaid/plaster and use them as stickers.
• Find Jerusalem and Jericho on Google Maps.
• Adults can examine the Good Samaritan painting by Vincent Van Gogh and discuss why Van Gogh painted it the way he did. 
• How can this parable help you change the way you see people and how you should treat them?  How does this parable enlarge your circle of neighbours?
•  Ask the class to write down two or three things you will do as a class to heal broken relationships or bring down barriers between people or create an environment where diverse people can come together and relate to one another.

EPISODE 204: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Chris Licht or somebody close to him has inadvertently confessed that the network did, as accused, illicitly pack the live crowd at the Trump Town Hall with Trump Supporters, and lied to the public when it insisted the crowd would represent the entire voting mix for the New Hampshire GOP Primary. 

A CNBC story (and it has all the ear-marks of a cable network public relations department clean-up operation) says Licht has defended the concept of the Town Hall ad insisted "history will look kindly" on his decisions but that CNN could've done some things better, including introducing the live crowd to the TV audience so viewers would know WHY THE LIVE CROWD SUPPORTED TRUMP. Licht or the Licht-adjacent leaker never stopped to think that they were admitting that the audience WAS stacked, hat the crowd was full of Trump plants. Furthermore they never stopped to think that saying that in retrospect they should have talked to some of the room full of Trump cultists before they started booing Kaitlan Collins and before Trump started to egg them on, supports the accusations by the Republican Governor OF New Hampsher Chris Sununu, and the former Republican Governor OF New Jersey Chris Christie, that virtually everybody they saw in that studio at St. Anselm’s College was a Trump supporter they recognized by sight. It also supports the accusation by Chris Christie that CNN let Trump choose who would be in the crowd. In one fell swoop, CNN has just admitted it was an almost-entirely pro-Trump crowd, and they shouldn’t have deceived the viewers into thinking anything else, but that they DID, and Licht wishes they hadn’t done that. Lie. To the viewers. To the nation. This elevates this disaster from mere television and journalistic malfeasance, into a literal kind of deception, a three-card Monte game, in which a bluntly, nakedly, unforgivably biased, slanted, fully-loaded fascist political rally was televised by a network whose executives and announcers lied that it was some kind of news or public events broadcast.

Lastly, and maybe worst of all, the CNBC piece hints that a network may be considering another Trump Town Hall. Read the tea leaves in the article and it's pretty clear that the network thinking about a Trump Town Hall 2 - that's leaking what it would do to improve on the first one...is CNN.

B-Block (19:54) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Yesterday's lead? About the shocker inside the Rudy Giuliani sex story? That he was offering pardons for $2,000,000 apiece and splitting the money with Trump? Turns out the exact same story - Giuliani offering pardons for $2M/per - was reported in real time; The bid to expel George Santos and why a vote is imminent; and the good news is, Dianne Feinstein talked to a couple of reporters yesterday. The bad news is, she doesn't know where she's been the last three months. (25:13) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: DeSantis joins the chorus of people who never read the Bible but are still calling NYC's alleged Subway Strangler "A Good Samaritan;" a Trump shill Congresswoman insists she's NOT a Trump shill; and Lauren Boebert is divorcing her husband and he is reportedly furious. God! Why?

C-Block (30:00) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Shiloh, thrown from a car in Atlanta (30:50) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: This scenario playing out at CNN? Turning it into a right-wing propaganda network while pretending you're just making sure "all voices are heard?" The reason I keep talking about it, and feel so strongly about it, is that 20 years ago this spring MSNBC tried the exact same thing. Even put on a fascist commentator - literally wearing a Brownshirt on the air - named Michael Savage. And not only did ratings vanish but Savage embarrassed the company so badly he had to be fired. Then went all the producers. Then the executives. Finally the president of MSNBC, and the head of NBC News. It does not end well - as it won't end well for Licht and CNN.

How Jesus Ruins New Years (Luke 10:25-37)

The average New Years resolution fizzles out after 32 days. Lots of reasons for this, but a big reason is that the ones that fizzle are just wishes, they aren’t perspective shifts that turn into actual plans because plans and practices are risky, uncomfortable and costly. But true resolve begins by asking difficult QUESTIONS…

And often the questions alone leave us flustered, and fearful...wooing us back to wishfully thinking. And wishful thinking is usually abandoned by making excuses and looking for loopholes!

 Jesus Ruins New Years by constantly asking questions (there are over 300 recorded questions Jesus asked in the Gospels), offering tradition altering, world-view shattering and often unthinkable truths and then He demands us to wrap ourselves up in its practice!

In this sermon, Dusty shows how, with just one question, Jesus shatters our pretense to find loopholes and make excuses for obeying the heart of God.

Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48948509

Ephesians 2 gives us a soaring vision of the church as a new family. Something surprising the Triune God is building for his glory and for all eternity. Something also rather messy, yet amazingly and beautifully diverse. Jesus calls us to a different way of seeing one another as a family but also seeing ourselves differently. Not one with a posture of superiority, but one of centered humility. We are a family. In grace, Christ not only reconciles us, breaks down the dividing walls, but also gives us a new identity. We the church are fellow citizens of a kingdom with all the privileges, loyalties, and responsibilities of that kingdom. We the church have a new king and we have been given a kingdom agenda.
