Senior Pastor Jeff Manion discusses Jesus’ interactions at a dinner party at the home of a Pharisee, Simon. Through this passage, we see that Jesus shares meals to complete his mission. Jesus tells an important parable that helps us realize that big forgiveness equals big love, while little forgiveness equals little love. Through this conversation, we are challenged to recognize that when we view the crimes of the heart as insignificant, it is possible we will be experiencing little forgiveness and respond with little love.
Luke 7:36-50
