Sermon: The Church as Christ’s Inn

David

What if the Parable of the Good Samaritan is more than just a call to kindness? In this powerful LCMS sermon, Pastor David Balla unpacks Luke 10:25–37 to reveal the deeper Gospel truth: the Church is Christ’s Inn, a healing place where wounded sinners are brought by the Savior Himself. This sermon proclaims the Law and Gospel, showing how Christ is the true Good Samaritan who rescues the spiritually dead and entrusts them to His Church for restoration through Word and Sacrament.


Ideal for Lutheran Christians, pastors, Bible students, and seekers, this sermon connects the parable to the Lutheran Confessions, the Small Catechism, and the life of the Church today. Explore the beauty of Christ’s mercy, the mission of the Church, and the comfort of the Gospel. Subscribe for Christ-centered preaching, Lutheran doctrine, and liturgical reflections every week.


Perfect for Proper 10 (Year C), this is a must-watch for anyone preparing for the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost or studying the role of the Church in the life of believers.
