Pastor Bobby teaches on the Good Samaritan story, which is a story within a story. Bobby shares four reasons why the Levites and the priests didn’t do all they could do for the injured man, and why the Good Samaritan shows how being a generous, servant kind of person is the thing that makes life worth living, with his message: “Does God Bless Good Intentions?”
