Good morning and welcome to Champions in Christ with Rhonda Harrison. It's such a

4
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:30,900
beautiful day out. This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be

5
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:36,240
glad in it. You know there's all kinds of things going on in life and but we're

6
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,160
going to focus this morning on the Word. We're going to get into His Word and

7
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:48,480
let's talk about Jesus. Alright so let's start in Luke 7. We're going to go to

8
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:58,040
verse 36 and it starts out and says, and one of the Pharisees, excuse me, desired

9
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:03,200
that he would eat with him and Jesus went in and sat in the Pharisees house

10
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,320
and sat down to eat and behold a woman in the city which was a sinner when she

11
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:13,480
knew that Jesus was at meat with in the Pharisees house brought an alabaster box

12
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:19,520
of ointment and stood at his feet behind him weeping and began to wash his feet

13
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:25,000
with her tears and she wiped them with the hairs on her head with and kissed

14
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,480
his feet and anointed him with ointment. Now when the Pharisees which have

15
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:37,400
invited him saw it he spoke with it himself and said if this man were a

16
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,680
prophet he would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches

17
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:50,720
him for she is a sinner and Jesus said unto him Simon I have somewhat to say to

18
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,800
you and he said master say on there was a certain creditor who had two debtors

19
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,560
one owed him 500 pence the other owed him 50 and when they had nothing to pay

20
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,200
he frankly forgive them both tell me which one of them will love him the most

21
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,520
and Simon said I suppose it would be he who was forgiven the most and Jesus said

22
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:20,840
unto him you have judged rightly and then he turned to the woman and said

23
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,920
unto Simon do you see this woman I entered into your house and you gave me

24
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,040
no water for my feet she's washed my feet with tears and wiped them with her

25
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,720
hair on her head you gave me no kiss but this woman since the time I came in has

26
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:43,800
not ceased to kiss my feet my head with oil you did not anoint but this woman

27
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,200
has anointed my feet with ointment therefore I say unto you her sins which

28
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:57,000
are many are forgiven for she loved much but to whom little is forgiven the same

29
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:04,880
loves little and he said to her your sins are forgiven and they that sat with

30
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:10,760
him at me at the mealtime began to say within themself who is it that forgives

31
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:19,640
sins and he said unto the woman your faith has saved you go in peace you know

32
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:26,680
this is a profound story of great love both that Jesus had for this woman the

33
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,840
same way he loves us he loves us with a great everlasting love he loves us with

34
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,840
a love that bears all things believes all things hopes all things endures all

35
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:45,280
things as long suffering and kind and gentle he loves unconditionally he loves

36
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,760
non-judgmentally but let's go over the story let's talk about what's happening

37
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,600
here so so Jesus is invited by a Pharisee who was a religious leader or leader in

38
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:04,800
the town and he was invited to dinner and Jesus went and when they sat down to

39
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,920
eat then this woman who came in who was known as a sinner because a Pharisee

40
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,180
Pharisee recognized her as a sinner you know he was looking at the outward

41
00:04:15,180 --> 00:04:20,400
appearance he was looking at her reputation you know and we read where

42
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,160
he spoke to himself that oh if he was a real prophet he would know what person

43
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:35,000
this is touching him well you know the Bible says in Matthew 621 for where your

44
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:42,200
treasure is there your heart is also and she brought an alabaster box of a very

45
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:52,720
costly perfume to anoint Jesus and to pour over him as she wept she came with

46
00:04:52,720 --> 00:05:00,520
her treasure to honor to love and to worship Jesus and the Pharisee couldn't

47
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,480
see that all he saw was the outward appearance you know the Bible says that

48
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,880
man looks on the outward appearance but God looks on the heart that's in 1st

49
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:17,200
Samuel 16 17 you know man we're always have a tendency to look at people what

50
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:23,280
they're wearing we judge them by what they say we you know we're not looking

51
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:29,520
at the heart you know Jesus is always looking at the heart right and he's

52
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:38,240
worth looking love is a verb and she came to love on Jesus to worship him she

53
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:45,640
came to honor the master you know and Jesus said to these Pharisees you know

54
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,560
you I came in your house you offered me no water to cleanse my feet you didn't

55
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,480
anoint my head or refresh me you you know the Pharisee treated him like he was

56
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:04,440
just another person but that's not the way she saw him and she was a sinner this

57
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,680
isn't someone who followed you it's probably someone who just heard about

58
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,920
how awesome he is and all the good things you know the Bible is good news

59
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:21,600
what Jesus does for others is always good he loves you he wants to bless you

60
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,080
there's not a day that goes by that he's not ready to bless you you know and all

61
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:33,600
it takes his faith faith in him believing that's what what he wanted he wants

62
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,760
you to be blessed you know this girl as we talked about was a sinner she had

63
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,880
love and compassion she wanted to show that love and her thankfulness to him

64
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:51,880
for what a great wonderful person or God he is she wanted him to love him

65
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,240
completely you know she risked her reputation she risked ridiculed you

66
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:05,280
know they murmured against her you know if we the same story is also in Matthew

67
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:11,880
and in Matthew you know he talks about how they were disgusted they the

68
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,120
Pharisees were like they were so indignant because she did this you know

69
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:24,280
she interrupted their meal and she but they neglected to see her heart towards

70
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Jesus and really that should be all of our hearts towards him because he's such

71
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:38,400
a good God it's such good news the word of God Jesus Christ came to save set free

72
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,800
heal deliver and raise from the dead he is he is always wanting to bless you

73
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:51,280
always wanting to bless you and she just wanted to love him she just wanted to

74
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,720
love him did you notice what he said when he asked the question you know which

75
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,480
one will love more when he gave the parable of the of the debtors and he

76
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:08,200
said that that one who is forgiven much loves much you know God loves you so much

77
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:14,160
and he's willing to forgive us of our sins he's willing to take on any task

78
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:21,160
that we need help with he's willing to lead the way he's willing to heal us you

79
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,680
know she just came to him she wasn't invited her heart was stirred when she

80
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,480
knew where he was she wanted to go and bless him she wanted to love on him she

81
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:39,040
wanted to worship him so she humbled herself you know the Bible says Jesus is

82
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:48,280
close to those who are of a broken spirit of a humble heart he will run he

83
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:54,920
will pass over a thousand to get to you if you're humble and you have faith and

84
00:08:54,920 --> 00:09:00,880
you're looking under him and you just say his name Jesus you know the Pharisee

85
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,160
was full of pride he was disappointed that she interrupted his dinner he

86
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,240
couldn't you know he was already judging her they were murmuring against her you

87
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,360
know this story is also in Luke and I mean I'm sorry Mark and and that's where

88
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,520
you can read how they murmured against her but she didn't care her focus was

89
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:28,560
completely on Jesus her love for him you know when we read the scripture for

90
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:34,360
where your treasure is there your heart will be also which is in Matthew 621 you

91
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,600
know it makes you stop and think you know let me look in my on my statement or in

92
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,320
my checkbook or online and see where's my money going that's where you'll see

93
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,680
where your heart is you know where your treasure is your heart is also the Bible

94
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:53,960
says and all she wanted to do was love him and she loved him with the most that

95
00:09:53,960 --> 00:10:00,000
was a very costly perfume and so it cost her a lot and it cost her her

96
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,240
reputation it cost everything to do what she did and yet it says in the word

97
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,920
that and we are now talking about it the Bible Jesus said because she did this

98
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,000
it'll be a memorial memorial to her every time this is shared and we're

99
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,720
sharing it right now we're talking about the love she had for him you know you

100
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,600
say well you know how do I love God how how else can I love God I can't go get

101
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,920
costly perfume and pour it over him anymore you know he instructs us in

102
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:37,240
the word of God how we can love him John 14 15 through 17 talks about if you

103
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:44,080
love me you'll keep my commandments keeping his commandments well that you

104
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,480
think wow who can do that you know we've all sent and fallen short of the glory

105
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:57,960
of God but in Matthew 22 37 through 40 it talks about how we love God how we do

106
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:06,480
that right and it talks about if we love God with all our heart all our soul

107
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,680
which is our mind our will and our emotion and our mind that Lord this is

108
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:16,120
the first commandment and second is to love your neighbor as yourself and

109
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:22,680
that's what she was doing and so I encourage you today and I'm speaking to

110
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:28,080
myself as well you know how Lord show us how even more so to love our neighbor

111
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,280
you know the Bible says if you love what's lovely what reward do you have

112
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,920
because a heathen can do that but it's when you love the unlovely he loved a

113
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,440
sinner he turned to her and told her her sins are forgiven and that she was

114
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:47,240
saved and this is forever spoken about from that time till now and continue on

115
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:54,200
as a memorial to her because it was authentic love you know I say if someone

116
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,600
hurts you love them anyway that's what Jesus says you know they heard him every

117
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,680
time they spoke about him ridicule him they spit in his face they pulled his

118
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:09,040
beard they beat him to where in Isaiah it says he was unrecognizable prior to

119
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:15,040
the cross he hung on a cross and he didn't deserve it he'd never send but

120
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:20,760
yet he loved he loved them anyway and that's what we're to do we're to love

121
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:27,320
our neighbor as ourself if you have a widow as a neighbor and they need to

122
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,000
know you're there they need to know you love them that they're still important

123
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,360
that they that you could find out what you can do to help them if you if you

124
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,600
know an individual who's struggling in their finances who maybe has lost

125
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,800
everything due to bankruptcy or failure maybe something they did themselves

126
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:52,200
they still need that love they need a helping hand you know when you give to

127
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,640
the poor you give to the Lord you lend to the Lord and he'll never not repay

128
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:02,000
you but he'll not just give you back what you gave he'll bless you beyond that

129
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,680
you know there's so many ways to love and we want to love authentically and we

130
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:12,560
want to love the unlovely you know if you and your spouse are having fights

131
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:18,480
and fuss and arguments and maybe not on the best of terms love them anyway do

132
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,280
something good for them nice for them remember how it was and why you originally

133
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:30,320
fell in love with them no grudge is worth holding or keeping we all get angry

134
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,120
the Bible says you can be angry and sin not you know just don't sin just it just

135
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,640
let your anger out some other way but love that person maybe they're dealing

136
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,920
with something you don't know about you know you never know maybe someone who

137
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:50,080
cut you off you know sometimes that's the easiest time to to get upset is when

138
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,760
someone cuts you off or slams on their brakes in front of you or is looking at

139
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,520
their phone when they should be watching the road or maybe they're drifting off

140
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,040
to sleep because they worked all night or worked a 12-hour ship you know always

141
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:08,440
forgive always love always let it let it go let it go you know be like the the

142
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:14,960
character and frozen just sing that song let it go let it go just let it go

143
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,000
it's not worth it you know the things in life you know since the passing of my

144
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,360
husband I you find out what's really important and what's really important are

145
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:31,560
people and people need each other and we need to love one another and let it go

146
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:37,440
let things go just like Jesus he didn't ask her her sin he didn't make her do

147
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:43,440
some kind of penance for her sin he knew she was sorry for her sin she didn't

148
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,280
have to say Lord forgive me he just forgave her that's the love of God he

149
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,280
will forgive you right where you're at if you just did a sin right now as I'm

150
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,920
speaking if you're in your car and you're doing drugs or or you just cheated on

00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:03,760
your husband or your wife you know just ask for forgiveness repent turn away

152
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,720

00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:15,440
the storm he's such a good God he's such a good God you know Ephesians 5 and

192
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:21,080
we're going to start in verse 1 it says be ye therefore follows of God my dear

193
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:26,680
children and walk in love this same love that this woman with the alabaster box

194
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:32,040
loved with that's the kind of love he wants us to walk in as Christ has loved

195
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,600
us and has given himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a

196
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:46,760
sweet smelling Savior it says that everlasting love everlasting love a

197
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,560
sweet smelling Savior you know when you love someone when you love your

198
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,800
children when you instruct them in the things of God when you bless them you

199
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:02,000
know they get excited about it but how much more rewarding is it for you as a

200
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,760
parent and the Bible says that we being evil know how to good gifts to good

201
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,880
gifts to our children how much more he knows how to give good gifts to those

202
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,640
who follow him who love him he will bless you with good gifts you may think

203
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,720
I haven't had one of those gifts lately well one of those gifts are about to come

204
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,880
upon you if you'll just cry out to him he'll bless you he'll bless you he loves

205
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:35,280
you so much he absolutely loves you with an everlasting love and I have to tell

206
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:46,800
you if we go over to let's see first Timothy and we're going to go to chapter

207
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:52,680
one we're going to go start in verse 12 and it says and I thank Christ the Lord

208
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:59,240
who has enabled me to be that he may for that he counted me faithful this is Paul

209
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:05,920
talking in verse 13 who was before a blasphemer a persecutor he was insulting

210
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:11,880
but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly and unbelief and the grace of

211
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,920
our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus

212
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:22,920
and this faithful saying is worthy of all acceptance that Christ came into the

213
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:29,360
world to save sinners of who I am a chief sinner how be it for this cause I

214
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:35,040
obtained mercy that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth long suffering

215
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,200
for a pattern to them which hereafter believe on him until life everlasting

216
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:47,640
now unto the King eternal immortal and visible the only wise God be honor and

217
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:53,720
glory forever and ever amen you know Paul talked about he was the chiefest

218
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,320
among sinners that's how he felt about himself that's how I feel about myself

219
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,160
you know but Christ came in our life and changed us you will become a new

220
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:10,800
creature in him Christ loves you today and as we listen to this this song I

221
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,400
want you to think about how much he loves you I want you to think about and

222
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:23,720
consider consider the gift of God which is Jesus Christ the gift that you can

223
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,640
have today if you know him I encourage you to get in the word and know him more

224
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:34,480
he loves you he has so much for you he has big plans for you and do you know

225
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:40,720
he knows everything so he knows the way to do something he knows the timing he

226
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,360
knows it all so as I'm gonna catch you on the other side after this song and I

227
00:22:45,360 --> 00:23:14,880
just want you to think about that

228
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:35,200
Jesus she's come for the tears that made her

229
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:50,080
she felt such pain some spoke in anger heard folks whisper there's no place

230
00:23:50,080 --> 00:24:10,560
still she came through the shame until the last she never before his feet and

231
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:27,480
though she spoke no words everything she said was her

232
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:59,200
don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears and I drive with my hair

233
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:31,200
when you don't know the cost of the oil in my alabaster

234
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:45,840
I can't forget the way I was a prisoner to the sin that had me

235
00:25:45,840 --> 00:26:02,880
I spent my days poured my life with the measure into a little treasure box until

236
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:15,920
the day when Jesus came to me and healed my soul with the wonder of his touch so

237
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:25,800
now I'm giving back to him all the praise he's worthy of I've been forgiven and

238
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:52,760
that's why my praise on him like oil from Mary's alabaster box don't be angry if

239
00:26:52,760 --> 00:27:04,600
I wash his feet with my tears and drive him with my hair

240
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:26,360
you are there the night Jesus found me you did not feel what I felt when he wrapped his loving arms around me and you don't know the cost of the oil

241
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:51,320
oh you don't know the cost of my praise you don't know the cost of the oil in my alabaster box

242
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:07,920
wow I want to ask you today what is your alabaster box what can you bring to

243
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:14,560
Jesus you may say I don't have anything you have your heart you have your life

244
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:21,960
maybe you gave your life to Christ many years ago and something happened a divorce

245
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:27,680
a bankruptcy a death of a loved one something that distracted you or maybe

246
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:35,200
you got mad at God maybe you thought he did something you know he's ready and

247
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:40,240
waiting to accept you again he's ready for your return you know he's longing

248
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,280
for you he loves you so much maybe you've never accepted Christ this is the

249
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,000
first time you've ever heard that Jesus Christ is a savior of the world and he

250
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:54,520
died for you and Christ loved you as a sinner he loved me as a sinner and I gave

251
00:28:54,520 --> 00:29:00,840
my heart to many years ago and I'm so thankful I did the blessings just

252
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,800
overwhelm you and even when trouble comes the Bible says be of good cheer I've

253

overcome the world Christ has overcome the world so I want to give you an

254
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,840
opportunity right now to return to Christ or to accept him it's the greatest

YouTube and on the television find one that makes your baby leap which is what

271

my husband used to say a lot find one that makes your baby that speaks to you

272
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,400
because God wants to be involved in everything in your life in a positive

00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:59,440
way he's he is a blessing from heaven a breath of air and the life of God is

prayer you must confess it to someone let someone know you gave your heart to

276
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:13,640
the Lord or you returned to Christ it's very important baptism that's another

277
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,840
step we follow Jesus and it's an outward showing of what happened on the inward

278
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,760
it's a demarcation to the devil and everyone else that hey I'm a true

279
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:30,080
believer in Christ it's the most greatest thing you'll ever do for yourself and

00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,400
it's an adventure that you will love from now till heaven and you'll one day

281
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:39,040
reside in heaven and not hell heaven is real hell is real and there's no in

you the hell was not created for man but created for the devil and his angels but
