Unbelievable Mercy

Most of us know what it’s like to be labeled. We know the weight of a mistake and the sting of being judged by people who think they have it all together.In John 8, we see Jesus encounter a woman in her darkest hour. The religious elite wanted a stoning; Jesus offered something "unbelievable."He didn't minimize the sin, but He denied the crowd’s right to play God. This week, we’re exploring a mercy that doesn't make sense—a mercy that says, "Neither do I condemn you," before it says, "Go and change."If you’re tired of "perform-to-belong" religion, come discover the Jesus who protects the exposed and disarms the self-righteous.
