Strength to Love #2: Where Are the Good Samaritans? - Kendall Dooley

KALEO PHOENIX

In this episode, Kendall Dooley guides us through the story of the Good Samaritan as he preaches from the book “Strength to Love” by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. a volume of his most well known homilies.⁠ ⁠ King had begun working on the sermons during a fortnight in jail in July 1962. While behind bars, he spent uninterrupted time preparing the drafts for works such as “Loving Your Enemies” and “Shattered Dreams,” and he continued to edit the volume after his release.⁠ ⁠ Collectively they present King’s fusion of Christian teachings and social consciousness and promote his prescient vision of love as a social and political force for change.⁠ In this sermon, Pastor Chris guides us through the sermon "Love In Action" as King describes the complexities of forgiveness and tragic blindness.
