Have you ever noticed how easy it is to walk past someone in need? Sometimes we tell ourselves, “It’s not safe,” or “Someone else will help.”

Jesus told a story about this very thing, the Good Samaritan. Two religious leaders passed by a man beaten and left for dead. But a Samaritan, someone from a group despised by the Jews, stopped. He cared for the man and made sure he was safe.

The point? Compassion doesn’t ask, “Do I have to help?” Compassion asks, “How can I be a neighbor?”

In a world quick to look away, Jesus calls us to stop, see, and show mercy. That’s what it means to love your neighbor.

Luke 10: https://www.bible.com/bible/111/LUK.10.NIV

What do you do when life feels heavy and praise seems impossible? In Acts 16:25, Paul and Silas sang hymns in prison at midnight, showing us that God’s worthiness isn’t tied to our circumstances. No matter the season, joy or sorrow, God is worthy to be praised!

Jesus is led by the Spirit, not to a place of celebration, but into the wilderness. It reminds us that wilderness seasons are not always signs of failure or distance from God. Sometimes, they are the very place where God does His deepest work in us.

After centuries of prophetic silence, since the time of Malachi, the people of Israel were waiting. They were under Roman occupation and longing for deliverance. Then, out of the silence, the desert, a voice calls out.

Last episode, we started our series The Wilderness: Where God Forms His People by reflecting on Israel’s deliverance through the Red Sea in Exodus 14. We saw that deliverance is not the end of the story, it’s the beginning of a journey. This week, we continue the journey. Now on the other side of the Red Sea, Israel enters a long season of testing.

The wilderness is one of the Bible’s most profound and repeated images. It is not simply a geographic location; it is a symbol, a space where people are tested, where comforts are stripped away, and where God reshapes identity. For Israel, Elijah, John the Baptist, and even Jesus, the wilderness becomes a place of divine encounter and transformation. Our series, The Wilderness: Where God Forms His People, will explore how the wilderness is not only a part of the biblical story, but ours as well.
