Reframing Rest Part 06: Margin And Mercy

Pastor James Gallaher Season 56 Episode 6

We often think of rest as stopping—but Jesus shows us that rest is also how we respond when someone is hurting.

In this message from the Reframing Rest series, Pastor James unpacks the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 and reveals what it looks like to live with enough margin to extend mercy. Real rest isn’t selfish—it’s full of compassion, provision, and presence.

Discover how the Samaritan’s generous care models the heart of God—and how we’re called to do the same.
