CENTRAL THOUGHT Believers are expected to do good to all men. HYMN: FADING AWAY LIKE THE STARS OF THE MORNING. INTRODUCTION As human beings we are faced with needs at one time or the other; some we can handle on our own, but others can be overwhelming, needing someone to give a helping hand, divine intervention, or man. Our Christian confession and practice should not stop in the church; rather we are expected to extend our care to persons around us who are in need. Needs may be spiritual, physical, material, and emotional. God ultimately is the one that meets all needs, even when done through man as an instrument. In this study we will be examining two outstanding characters in the scripture the Good Samaritan who halted (suspended) his journey to take care of a wounded man and Dorcas who made remarkable impact in the life of the needy in the church.
