Jesus Doesn’t Shame You Into Change

In Luke 7, Jesus is invited to dinner by Simon the Pharisee when an uninvited woman enters the room in tears. Simon sees her shame. Jesus sees her faith. In this message from The Front Church, Nate Ray explores our “How did I get here?” moments, the human tendency to mess things up, and the difference between shame-based change and the forgiveness Jesus offers. Jesus does not tell us to clean ourselves up before coming to him. He meets us with grace, speaks forgiveness over us, and invites us into new life. 👉🏼 to learn more about The Front Church, visit https://thefrontchurch.com The Front Church is a non-denominational Christian church located in Utah's Salt Lake Valley.
