Summary:  “A woman in the city, who is a sinner.” You know this woman. Maybe you know her better than you let on. Maybe you are this woman. Jesus, the one we call “Lord,” tells her that her sins are forgiven and sends her on her way. How does this affect what you think of Jesus?

God Doesn’t Get Even  Click here Click title to view sermon Luke 7: 36–8:3
Summary: It’s a common idea that God is always on the lookout for an opportunity to condemn sin, and that he insists on strict payment for it. That seems to be the attitude of Simon, who has invited Jesus to dinner, and into whose house a “woman ... who was a sinner” comes. Jesus’ response to Simon’s criticism makes it clear that God’s forgiveness of sins doesn’t require payment but is freely available to those who accept it in faith.

Finding the Right Church Member  Click here Click title to view sermon Luke 7: 36–8:3
Summary: Although the woman who weeps at Jesus’ feet and anoints him with oil surprises us with her strange actions, she teaches us about grace. Unlike the Pharisee, she understands that God has forgiven her sins. We might assume that the Pharisee is the kind of church member we need, but the woman teaches us true devotion and worship from the heart.
