In our second study in Luke Chapter 10, Jesus gives us 2 of the more familiar stories in the Gospel, the story of the Good Samaritan and an interesting little ditty with Martha and Mary. We must be ever so careful not to allow familiarity to inoculate us from some of the most [...]
In Luke Chapter 10 Christ says some very difficult and some very interesting things, teaching us yet again that where there is privilege there is responsibility.
