In this episode, we kick off our journey through Psalm 118 with verses 1 through 4—what I like to call the “Call to Praise” section. Four simple verses. One powerful message. “His mercy endureth forever.”

We break down what it means to fear the Lord—not in terror, but in reverent awe and devotion. We look at how the psalmist called all of Israel, the house of Aaron, and them that fear the Lord to give thanks—not because life was easy, but because God was good.

Whether you’re a preacher, a parent, or pumping gas on your third shift—if you know God’s mercy, then you’ve got a reason to praise. We connect the ancient call to worship with modern real-life believers like you and me, and reflect on how this same mercy still echoes in Luke 1:50, Ephesians 2:4, and 1 Peter 1:3.

If you’ve ever wondered why the Bible repeats “His mercy endureth forever” over and over—it’s because we need to hear it over and over.

In this episode of the 620 Life podcast, we explore one of Jesus’ most well-known parables—the story of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25–37. But this isn’t just a Bible story—it’s a challenge to each of us to live out our faith with compassion, mercy, and action.

We begin with a real-world story of a man who, during a devastating hurricane, took it upon himself to help others. With his personal boat and no outside help, he rescued over 120 people, asking nothing in return. His actions mirror the Samaritan in Jesus’ parable: a person who stopped, saw the need, and took action—regardless of status, race, or recognition.

We break the parable down into meaningful parts, using Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments to emphasize what it means to truly love your neighbor. From the excuses of a religious elite to the unexpected compassion of an outsider, this episode examines what holiness and obedience really look like.

True godliness is more than words—it’s love in action. Whether you’re rescuing someone in a flood or simply helping a neighbor in need, this episode will remind you that every act of mercy matters.

Join us as we ask the hard questions, reflect on powerful truths, and challenge ourselves to “Go, and do thou likewise.”
