“Love Jesus” - Luke 7 - July 27th, 2025 - Pastor Scotty Brown

In this heartfelt message from Luke 7:36–50, Pastor Scotty Brown unpacks the story of the sinful woman who anoints Jesus' feet in the house of Simon the Pharisee—challenging us to examine how deeply we love Jesus and whether we truly grasp the weight of our own forgiveness. Through vivid storytelling, personal transparency, and honest questions about our motives, Pastor Scotty contrasts the open, broken devotion of the repentant woman with the cold religious self-righteousness of Simon. He reminds us that those who recognize how greatly they’ve been forgiven will respond to Jesus with overflowing love, humility, and gratitude. This message calls us to move beyond lip service or religious duty and to express our love for Jesus in genuine repentance, lavish affection, and a life surrendered to Him. Ultimately, the question is not just whether you’ve been forgiven—but do you truly love Jesus, and does your life show it?
