This Easter message takes a fresh, unexpected look at the Parable of the Good Samaritan, revealing that true compassion always comes at a cost . . . and that real love for God is measured by how we love the people around us.

Whether you're a longtime believer or exploring faith for the first time, this Resurrection Weekend message will inspire you to move from comfort to compassion!

Healing, Faith & the Word of God - From Discouragement to Unshakeable Confidence in God's Word In this powerful guest message, beloved Bible teacher and bestselling author Pastor Bob Yandian delivers a fresh, deeply scriptural look at one of the most misunderstood topics in the church today: divine healing. With decades of ministry experience and his trademark gift for making God's Word clear and practical, Pastor Bob addresses something many believers quietly struggle with: What do you do when you prayed for healing and nothing seemed to happen? Rather than sidestepping the hard questions, he tackles them head-on with love, humor, and an unwavering commitment to Scripture. Drawing from Psalm 103, 1 Corinthians 11, Isaiah 53, and Hebrews 10, Pastor Bob reveals the powerful connection between the forgiveness of sins and divine healing, showing that both flow from the same cross, and both are received the same way: by faith in the Word of God, not by feelings or instant manifestations. Just as salvation is not measured by what you feel in the moment, healing is grounded in what Jesus already accomplished.
