Sermon Title: “Show Me Some Love” Part 3
Sermon Text: Luke 10:25-37
Luke 10:25-37 New International Version (NIV)
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood
up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal
life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers.

Point #1 – The world will learn the LOVE of GOD
through us.
John 13:34-35 English
Standard Version (ESV)
34A new commandment I give to you,that you love
one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35By
this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one
another.”
Point #2 – We must live out the HEART of
GOD in everyday life.
Proverbs 4:23 New
International Version (NIV)
Above all else, guard
your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Point #3 – In order to know who your neighbor is you must
be AWARE of where you are as well.
Matthew 6:21 New
International Version (NIV)
For where your treasure
is, there your heart will be also.
LIFE APPLICATION…
1. We can’t
pick and choose who we help.
2. Love is
self-sacrificing.
3. Love is
what we do; not what we feel like doing.
