Sermon notes
Are You Living in Shame or Self-Righteousness?
Wednesday, April 22, 2026
Part of MY52Summary
In this message on Luke 7, Pastor Rusty George explores the encounter between Jesus, Simon the Pharisee, and a sinful woman who anointed Jesus' feet with tears and expensive perfume. Whether we are trapped in the shame of our past or living in the self-righteousness of our moral achievements, both stem from a forgotten need for God's grace. When we remember how much we have been forgiven, our hearts naturally respond with extravagant love and worship.Key Scriptures
