When a lawyer asks Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”, he’s really asking who he doesn’t have to care about. But instead of drawing boundaries, Jesus tells a story that completely reframes the conversation—shifting the focus from identity to action, from fear to mercy. What if our spiritual growth is connected with our willingness to love others? In this sermon, Pastor Sean explores how grace frees us from self-preservation so we can embrace a radical, liberating kind of love.
