Luke 7:36-50 The Pharisee and the Sinner (On Washing Jesus' Feet)

Leadership, hospitality and worship: 

What do you expect from the church when you think about those words.  

What are you looking for when you look to the church? 

Does that line-up with what God values?

Jesus knows the thoughts of His host Simon the Pharisee.  

God knows the ponderings of our hearts; 

and He still loves us and speaks the truth to us.

"Who is this, who even forgives sins?"

Isaiah 53 shares the description of the suffering servant:

"Stricken for the transgression of My people"

It is because of this that Jesus is able to say in 

Luke chapter 7: "Your sins are forgiven."

Simon the Pharisee, forgiven little, loves little.  

The sinful woman knows how deeply she needs a savior.  

But we all face the same deep need, 

whether we know it or not.  

Worship reflects how much we recognise our deep need 

and God's great provision.
