Jesus Story of the Week — John 8:1–11 (The Woman Caught in Sin)
Religious leaders brought a woman caught in adultery before Jesus to trap him. Jesus responded by inviting whoever was without sin to cast the first stone — the crowd dispersed one by one. Jesus told the woman he did not condemn her, and called her to a new life. The hosts connected the story to Romans 6:11 and framed the gospel message: Jesus doesn't ignore sin, but offers forgiveness and a fresh start rather than condemnation.
Emily's Jesus Story
Emily grew up in a Christian home as a pastor's kid but spent years going through the motions without a real relationship with Jesus. Carrying guilt and believing she was unforgivable, she hit her lowest point in grade seven, then cried out to Jesus and rededicated her life to him. She described transformation as an ongoing daily process — not instant healing, but sustained grace, hope, and purpose. Referenced 1 Peter 1:7 (the refiner's fire).
Jonah's Jesus Story
Jonah was involved in church activities throughout his life but didn't understand what God's love meant personally for him. Fear about his future led to decisions that nearly had lasting consequences for himself and others. A small group leader intervened at a key moment. Since then, Jonah has lived with less fear and greater reliance on God. He keeps the Lord's Prayer engraved on a ring as a daily reminder of God's love.
