"Giving Like a Gileadite" by Neal Pollard
July 5, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon
In this episode a preacher draws practical lessons on Christian service from the largely overlooked Old Testament figure Barzillai, weaving his story (2 Samuel 17, 19; 1 Kings 2) together with New Testament teaching from Jesus (John 13; Matthew 20, Matthew’s sheep-and-goats parable; John 6; John 4; Matthew 11; Luke 9). The sermon explores how Barzillai’s example models compassion for the hungry, thirsty, weary, and fleeing, and connects that literal giving to meeting spiritual needs as disciples of Christ.
