Ask everyone how they’re doing and introduce yourself
Tell Story about punching a player on the other team in basketball
Transition into the Bible and explain a little bit about the gospel of Luke
Read Luke 10:25-29
Someone who knew the Law well wanted to see what Jesus would say about eternal life and how he could make sure he got it
A priest and a levite would be expected to help out someone in need, but neither did
A Samaritan, the least likely one to help out, has compassion (explain relationship between Samaritans and Jews)
The Samaritan went above and beyond what was expected of him!
Not only did he go above and beyond, he went out of his way to help someone in need
The Samaritan didn’t care that the person in need was a Jew
Connect this back to the beginning of the passage; “Love your neighbor as yourself”
So, who is your neighbor?
Everyone is your neighbor!
The Samaritan showed compassion and took care of the Jew even though Jews and Samaritans typically hated each other
What does this look like for you in your everyday life?
Think of who you live with: parents, grandparents, siblings, etc.
How can you go above and beyond for them?
Parents: maybe you can help out more around the house by vacuuming, taking out the trash, doing the dishes etc
Think of people you’re around at school: friends, people you’re in extracurriculars with, jerks, weirdos, people who sit by themselves at lunch etc.
How can you go above and beyond for them?
Sitting with the person who sits alone at lunch, asking how the jerk’s/weirdo’s/friend’s day is going and have a conversation with them, pray for people, help them with homework, help an underclassmen find their classroom
Look for opportunities in your everyday life to go above and beyond for someone; Samaritan was just walking along when he found the guy half-dead!
What would your school/home look like if people went above and beyond like the Samaritan?
