Fellowship: (Break bread with your community, share life from last week, announcements for next week)

Icebreaker: (Get to know your fellow believers a little bit better using this week’s topic)
What makes you feel welcome?
How do you welcome visitors to your home?
How do we welcome visitors to our church?

Scripture: (Read the word together – use different readers, different versions, just read it
Luke 7:36-50

Lesson: (Delve deeper into the Word and into the sermon using open-ended questions)
“It’s the opposite of how you feel, When the pain they caused is just too real, It takes everything you have just to say the word, Forgiveness, Forgiveness.  Show me how to love the unlovable, Show me how to reach the unreachable, Help me now to do the impossible, Forgiveness, Forgiveness”.  Matthew West

What was the woman doing that Simon, the Pharisee, disliked?
Why did Simon privately question if Jesus was a prophet?
How did Jesus respond to Simon’s unforgiving spirit?
How did the sinful woman represent Simon?
How does the sinful woman represent us?
How does Simon represent us?
What should our response be to sin in others?


Prayer: (Share each other’s burdens, become a community of believers)
