Why Loving Your Neighbour Starts with Listening - Jeremy Duncan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if loving your neighbour begins with listening—before deciding who they are or what they deserve? In this message, we revisit the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 and explore how Jesus shifts the question from identifying our neighbours to becoming a neighbour.

Read excerpt
