The Gospel of Luke - The Sinful Woman

This sermon explores a passage from the Gospel of Luke that tells the story of a "sinful woman" who anoints Jesus' feet with perfume during a dinner hosted by Simon, a Pharisee. The woman's actions are bold and counter-cultural, as she is known for her sins and women were not typically allowed to touch men who were not their husbands. While Simon is critical of the woman's behavior, Jesus defends her, highlighting her deep faith and gratitude for forgiveness. This story serves as a powerful parable of God's unconditional love and the transformative power of forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of recognizing our own need for salvation and the overwhelming grace of God.
