Intimacy With Christ--How Close Do You Want To Get

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Feb 14, 2018

God calls us in order for us to be in a personal relationship with Him. Why is it that we want to keep Christ at a distance in our lives.

Not A Fan: Choosing Intimacy 1/21/2018 Psalm 139:1-18 Luke 7:36-50 Some of the ideas in this sermon came from Kyle Idleman’s series Fan or Follower which we did at our church.

Hosting Jesus, The Vip (Luke 7:36-50) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 28, 2024

One host fails, but another rises up, and gives Jesus the welcome he deserves. The passage is an illustration of how and why people tripped on Jesus (Luke 7:31-35).

One of the things we've talked about several times in the gospel of Luke, is the idea of God "visiting" his people. That's a big part of today's message, so let's read Luke 1:68, to get us off on the right foot: I'll read from the RSV (and here, the translation ...read more

The Saviour And A Sinful Servant

Contributed by Larry Grant on Apr 6, 2024

John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

Luke 7:36-50 (NKJV) The Saviour and a Sinful Servant April 7, 2024 There are two servants here, the Pharisee serving dinner and a Prostitute serving kindness.

Those Who Are Forgiven Much

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 19, 2022

Church life can become awful conventional, safe and predictable. One day Jesus met a woman who blew all of that away.

Our text for this morning is a surprising story of the reaction that different people had when they met Jesus. It is Luke 7:36-50. I encourage you to open your Bible so you can see it for yourself. In the pew Bibles it is on page 66 of the New Testament section. And please stand for the ...read more

The Challenge To Love Much  Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Feb 13, 2025

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

Breaking The Box

Contributed by Mark Lindsey on Nov 20, 2025

This woman brought a precious ointment in an alabaster box. This expensive perfume was costly but she was willing to give it. It will always cost you something to truly worship the Lord. If your worship costs you nothing, then your worship is worth nothing.

“BREAKING THE BOX” LUKE 7:36-50 Many times in the Bible when a certain woman is mentioned she is often symbolic of the church. In Luke 15, we have the woman who had ten coins and lost them. It is a picture of the church as she lights the light, cleans the house, and searches diligently for what is ...read more

Go! And Be A Community That Loves Jesus Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 2, 2025

The Bible reveals that true, enduring love is rooted in one person: Jesus Christ. Without Him, love is shallow and temporary. With Him, love is powerful, life-transforming, and world-changing.

Go! And Be a Community that Loves Jesus Introduction: What Defines a Loving Community? What makes a community truly loving? Is it shared interests? Mutual respect? A common goal?

Introduction Good morning, Church. Let me begin by doing what I often do: asking a question. Have you ever carried with you something from your past—something you wish you could erase? A choice, a mistake, a word spoken, a betrayal, a moment of weakness—something that still catches you off guard, ...read more
