Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
from All Souls Parish Sermons · host Rachel Dykzeul
the Rev. Rachel Dykzeul The sermon revisits the parable of the Good Samaritan, emphasizing its radical message in historical context: Jesus uses a despised outsider—the Samaritan—as the model of neighborly love. By helping a wounded man, the Samaritan upends religious and cultural norms. The preacher connects this message to modern examples of division—Palestinians and Israelis, immigrants and citizens, Democrats and Republicans—asking us to confront who we consider “the other.” The sermon concludes with the call to recognize those we most fear or despise as our neighbors and to act with divine compassion beyond boundaries.
