In the lesson is talks about how a man was beat up by thieves and three men rode down the road on horses. The first man would not look at the injured man. The second man looked at him but wouldn't help him. Bit the third man was the good samaritan and helped the injured man. He took him to a inn where he gave the man there money to take care of him. And told him if he needed any more money he was to spend it and he would come back to repay him. One of the other stories that Jesus used as a lesson was the Prodigal Son. In the story a man had to sons, his youngest asked for his share of money. But then the son went and spent the money carelessly in a foreign country. Not soon after a famine came and the son when hungry until he couldn't stand it any longer.
