    Why do Christians suffer? For us to be a tried & tested people; to help us be sympathetic to others; to show the lost how Jesus makes a difference. God lets us suffer, then receive comfort, so that we can give His comfort to others.

    The Challenge To Love Much  Series

    Our text today does not contain a miracle as such. The setting is a much more relaxed atmosphere - dinner at Simon’s house. The Pharisees play a major role in the story of Jesus.

    The Challenge to Love Much    Luke 7:36-50 Introduction Last week we saw Jesus demonstrate amazing powers as he healed the centurion’s servant at a distance and raised the son of the widow of Nain. The miracles of Jesus serve to: -Show us his great love and compassion for ...read more

I want to tell this story and build on it because this is a story that almost preaches itself. It’s a powerful story that shows a lot about the heart of David and ...read more
