1. Searching for Love

2. Judging Correctly

3. Finding Mercy

Today's sermon, "Longing for Love," explored Luke 7:36-49, contrasting the attitudes of Simon the Pharisee and the sinful woman who anointed Jesus' feet. This passage reminds us that we all have a God-shaped void in our hearts that only Jesus can fill. The sermon highlighted how true satisfaction comes not from worldly success or religious pride, but from humbly seeking God's forgiveness and love.

Takeaways:

- God knows everything about us, including our hidden thoughts and past, yet He still offers us forgiveness and love.

- We should be careful not to judge others harshly, as we all are in need of God's mercy and grace.

- True repentance and humility before God lead to freedom, forgiveness, and a transformed life.

As we go through this week, let's remember that no matter our past or current struggles, Jesus invites us to come to Him. He offers forgiveness, love, and a new beginning to all who approach Him with sincere hearts.

May we be like the woman in the story - willing to humble ourselves before Jesus and receive His transforming love.
