Sermon 9-28-03 Luke 7:36-50
Roger Horne--I can go a day without sinning
I love this scripture-Everyone wanted to hang with Jesus
Jesus did not put up with spiritual pride and self righteousness
The Pharisee and the publican..Luke 18
Ever Felt smug??? Think of your worst time…..
If you cant think of a worst time
You are yet to understand the depths of human depravity
If you never find it
You still have no right to feel smug
In debt to God…Sin is a debt, we are debtors to God
Illustrate…someone owes me $10
Someone owes me 100,000
Who responds with joy?
Big sins and little sins
Who was a bigger sinner simon or the woman?
Make the argument…she is a bigger sinner
Or no, she just understands her depravity
3 ways we are seen, by others, by ourselves, by God
you never understand Gods love, until you see yourself as a sinner
In debt to God…Sin is a debt, we are debtors to God
[3.] for the debt is great, and we have nothing at all to pay it with. Silver and gold will not pay our debt, nor will sacrifice and offering, no, not thousands of rams. No righteousness of our own will pay it, no, not our repentance and obedience for the future;
Conclusion
Are you penitent?
Your sins are forgiven
God’s forgiving power
Our inability to understand our own sin
Think of your worst time,
You are forgiven
You are loved
