March 8, 2026 — 9:00 AM Service | ‘Loving Our Neighbor in Divided Times’
Pastor Peter reflects on the Good Samaritan and a viral story about a lonely monkey named Punch to illustrate how compassion often appears from unexpected people and places. He emphasizes that labels and assumptions can prevent us from seeing one another’s humanity, yet Jesus calls us to a “gut‑level” compassion that crosses divisions. Ultimately, he urges the congregation to embody mercy and love in a divided world, just as God consistently shows such compassion toward us.
