EveryONE Matters - Lets Love the ONE (Blake Bergstrom)

What if the interruption is actually the assignment? We live in a world that moves fast. Our calendars are full, our schedules are packed, and we're constantly focused on what's next. But what happens when God puts someone directly in front of us who needs to be seen, loved, and served? In this message from the EVERY ONE MATTERS! series, Pastor Blake takes us through Jesus' story of the Good Samaritan and challenges us to rethink what it means to love our neighbor. Jesus shows us that real love doesn't simply notice a need—it moves toward it. The Samaritan's compassion was inconvenient. It interrupted his plans, cost him time, and required him to sacrifice his own resources. But that's what makes his example so powerful. Loving people like Jesus means being willing to have our schedules interrupted for the sake of the people God puts in our path. Jesus didn't treat people as interruptions to His mission. People were His mission. This message will challenge you to slow down, notice the people around you, and ask a simple question: “Jesus, who can I love today?” In this message you'll discover: What Jesus' Good Samaritan story really teaches about loving people Why loving others is often inconvenient How busyness can keep us from seeing people who need us Why Jesus calls us to move toward people instead of away from their problems How to recognize the ONE God may have placed directly in front of you What it looks like to love people through action, not just words Key Scriptures: Luke 10:25–37 1 John 3:16–18 John 13:34–35 At ONE Church, we believe Every ONE Matters.
