Resurrection South Austin

Father Shawn McCain Tirres on July 6, 2025 In response to recent flooding in Kerrville, Texas, Father Shawn explores Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan and challenges us to expand our definition of "neighbor." Drawing connections between ancient teachings and modern crises, he asks uncomfortable questions about who deserves our love and care. From detention centers to disaster zones, he reimagines the parable for today's world and calls the congregation to move beyond self-justification to genuine neighborly love. The sermon concludes with a call to action for flood relief and a reminder that Christ himself is our ultimate good neighbor.
