Listen "Be Like God: Be a Neighbor | 5th Sunday after Pentecost"
Episode Synopsis
What if being a good neighbor was more than just being nice? What if it was the very way we imitate God? In this episode, Pastor Ollie Bergh invites us to take a long, honest look in the mirror as we hear again the parable of the Good Samaritan. Jesus doesn’t just answer the question, “Who is my neighbor?”—he redefines it entirely. This story isn’t just about what we should do. It’s about who God is: the First Neighbor, the One whose mercy finds us half-dead on the side of the road and carries us to healing. In a world full of crisis—global, local, personal—Pastor Ollie challenges us to recognize a quieter, more urgent crisis: the crisis of lost neighborliness. Through rich theological reflection and grounded everyday examples, this sermon proclaims the good news that God is our neighbor—and invites us to become neighbors in turn. 🙌 If you're wondering what it really means to love your neighbor as yourself, or how to do a "God Thing" in a world that desperately needs mercy, this episode is for you. Listen in. Be challenged. Be comforted. Be a neighbor.
