Summary: THE GOOD SAMARITAN Special guest, Stephen Hayes, son of Mike Hayes from Covenant Church in Dallas, TX, begins a 3-part series called Meet the Master. Before he begins, his father, Pastor Mike Hayes, via video clip, sends birthday wishes to Kim and shares how Kim has influenced his life. He has known and been friends with Kim for 30 years. Stephen shares how Kim ministered in their church all those years and had such a tremendous impact. In part I of his series, Stephen teaches on the story of the Good Samaritan. Jesus spoke in parables so people could relate more closely to what he was trying to get across, and many times he answered a question with a question as a style of discourse. He shares that the story of the Good Samaritan is about more than showing mercy to someone in need. Remember, we are first kingdom citizens before our color, our culture, or our place in society. Jesus calls us firstly to walk in love. He didn’t teach us “who” to neighbor but “how” to neighbor. We can’t control who moves in next door but we can control how we treat them. In Codebreakers, Sunil shares how Stephen’s family, especially his parents, are becoming active in Washington, D.C. and have recently bought a parcel of land to build a facility on.
