Guest Pastor Meiko Seymour (Uncommon City Church) challenges us to examine our hearts and confront the 'stones' we carry - those judgments, accusations, and condemnations we're quick to throw at others. The story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-12) serves as a profound reminder of God's mercy and grace. We're invited to see ourselves in both the accusers and the accused, recognizing our own need for forgiveness. The speaker beautifully illustrates how Jesus combines justice and compassion, offering mercy first, then calling for transformation. This order - 'mercy first, then formation' - is crucial for our spiritual growth and how we interact with others. We're reminded that God's grace is not a cover-up for sin, but the power that makes us new. As we navigate our complex world, we're called to be 'people of hope,' addressing injustice while fixing our eyes on Jesus. This message encourages us to drop our rocks, stand on Christ as our firm foundation, and walk in the light of life He offers.
