Series: The Parables of Jesus
Part 1: The Two Debtors
Sermon by: Bro. Chris Carter
Scripture: Luke 7:36-50
Bro. Chris Carter's sermon contrasts two characters: Simon the Pharisee, marked by pride and judgment, and an unnamed 'sinful woman,' whose actions show humility, love, and gratitude. Through this parable, we learn about qualities that define a true house of worship:
- Brokenness: The woman acknowledges her need for forgiveness, while Simon's pride blinds him to his own faults.
- Extravagant Love: The woman pours out her love for Jesus, in contrast to Simon's lack of hospitality. Her actions reflect a heart transformed by forgiveness.
- Forgiveness and Salvation: Jesus forgives the woman, illustrating that faith makes redemption possible for all.
