Living Between the Rescue and the Return

Discussion Questions:

1. Why do you think Jesus chose a Samaritan—someone hated by the Jews—to be the hero of the story?
2. What does it mean for the Church today to live as “the inn” between Christ’s first and second coming?
   • How do we avoid becoming the priest or the levite?
3. How do we preach the urgency of Christ’s return in a culture that often avoids eschatology?
   • Why do people often avoid this topic?
   • Why do other people obsess over this to the point of trying to decipher the exact date of Christ’s return
4. How can I “move the needle” if I am not financially blessed?
   • Story of the widow’s mites
   • Give in other ways
5. What’s one small, practical way our church could better care for the wounded today?
