"Love the sinner, hate the sin."

from Ward Church Podcast Hosted by Ward Church

In the final message of the "I Never Said That" series, Dr. Scott McKee examines the popular phrase, "Hate the sin, love the sinner," and reveals how, despite its widespread use, it isn’t found in the Bible. Drawing from Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18, Pastor Scott challenges us to confront our own sin rather than focusing on the faults of others. This message explores the nature of sin—how it distorts God’s intended goodness—and emphasizes the freeing power of confession, humility, and God’s grace. Instead of being experts at pointing out sin in others, how can we become people who regularly bring our own failings to the cross of Christ? Join us as we learn to embrace the transformative mercy of Jesus, live in the freedom He offers, and reflect His grace to the world.
