34. Forgiven Much, Love Much (Luke 7:36-50) by Church in the Square (Sermon Audio)
In this message we examine Luke 7:36–50,(remastered) where a sinful woman anoints Jesus' feet and He uses a parable of debt to show that great forgiveness produces great love. The episode explains how transformed lives testify to the gospel and emphasizes salvation by faith alone, through the Word. The Word challenges listeners to witness to all people, recognizes the freedom to call on God for salvation, and reminds the Child of God to a visible, thankful faith that reflects true forgiveness.
05/10/2025 Gospel Sermon on: Luke 7 : 36 - 50 36 Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat. 37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, 38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, "This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner." 40 And Jesus answered and said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." So he said, "Teacher, say it." 41 "There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?" 43 Simon answered and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave more." And He said to him, "You have rightly judged." 44 Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. 45 You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. 46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. 47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little." 48 Then He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." 49 And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" 50 Then He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace." Glory be to God forever.
Today, the Lord shows us a perspective we seldom appreciate. He reveals that those who have asked God to forgive their many sins and have been forgiven, will love Him most. The sinful woman in the gospel today poured on Our dear Lord so much affection showing she loved Him very much because of her many sins. Jesus forgave her on the spot because she loved much.

Are you carrying an invisible backpack filled with burdens like guilt, shame, and regret? In his powerful sermon, Pastor Phil Ayres invites us to reflect on the parable of Jesus and the contrasting responses to forgiveness. Through the story of a woman who poured her gratitude on Jesus' feet and a Pharisee who remained distant and prideful, Phil illustrates that true faith involves not just religious rituals but an open heart. He emphasizes that while many may attend church, not everyone invites Jesus into their hearts. With relatable anecdotes, including the metaphor of heavy backpacks on life's journey, he encourages us to release the burdens we don't need and allow Jesus to carry them. Phil reminds us that understanding the depth of our own forgiveness unlocks our capacity to love others. He urges everyone—whether you're new to faith or feeling weighed down by past mistakes—to come forward for healing and release from these emotional weights. Don't leave today with that same burden; embrace the life-changing grace of Jesus. Discover more by watching the full sermon and take this transformative step towards peace and freedom.
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 9th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of Luke 8:2:“Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,…” Then we go on a bit further to Luke 19:8: “Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” Wow! Now that is genuine repentance, that is genuine appreciation for what God has done for a person who is a sinner. Mary Magdalene, Mary of Magdala - I have been to Magdala, it is a little village on the shores of Lake Galilee in Israel - now Mary has been delivered from seven demons and yet, once forgiven, and healed and delivered, she became one of Jesus' most faithful followers. I always say, if you get to Heaven before me, have a look and see who the most beautiful woman is in Heaven. I know many of us will say Mary, the mother of Jesus, but I beg to differ. I believe it will be Mary Magdalene, and I believe (I am getting emotional) she will be sitting at the feet of the Messiah, because she was forgiven much. Jesus didn't patch her up; He made her into a brand-new, beautiful handmaiden. You know, after that time, she never left the Lord once. She was the first one down at the tomb in the morning after the Lord had been crucified and had been put in Joseph of Arimathea's tomb. She was the first one, not Peter, not the disciples, it was the woman who had been forgiven much, and that's what I love about her. Jim Elliot, a missionary who went to the Amazon said, “It is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” What is that? It is your life. John Newton, forgiven much, a slave ship captain - can you think of anything worse? He wrote probably the most famous hymn of all time:Amazing grace, how sweet the sound In a believer's ear,I once was lost, but now am found;I was blind, but now I see.What about Peter, the big fisherman? He said, “Lord, I will die for you,” and yet when the test came before the cock crowed, he denied his beloved Saviour three times, but God forgave him, restored him and eventually he was crucified, by his own request, upside-down, for the love of Christ. Today, love the One who has forgiven you much.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

As Christians, we believe in the profound truth that we have been forgiven much. This core belief shapes our understanding of grace, redemption, and the transformative power of God's love in our lives. May we always be reminded of the immeasurable grace we have received and strive to reflect it in our daily lives.
When Love Shows up, forgiveness is always close at hand. When sin entered the world, people started hiding from God. Because of sin, Shame and fear control much of our life. We medicate to forget and get by, give ourselves to work, hoping to be distracted and seek value, and turn on the TV to forget. What if we could stop hiding from God and live in the forgiveness he offers to all who put their faith in his completed work on the cross? Colossians says in Jesus we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins; Psalm 103 tells us that he removes our transgressions from us as far as the east is from the west. To understand forgiveness, we have to understand a few things. First, can Jesus give it? Second, do we need it?

Pastor Cameron looks at Jesus' visit to Simon's home, where the sinful woman showed gratitude towards Jesus while Pharisee Simon did not see his need to be grateful.
This week in our series where we are looking how God uses the people we least expect, we examined the story of a sinful woman who was commended by Jesus for how much she loved Him because of how much He had forgiven.
Enjoy this replay from September 3, 2023, featuring special guest Dan Mcollum. The greater our awareness of our need for God and His salvation, the more our love will grow! Dan shares how, through this transformation, we bear the fruits of the spirit and gain a radical and surprising power over the environments and atmospheres we inhabit. Don't miss this empowering message.
Rev. Clay Wooten
Luke 7
Jesus shares a profound truth in Luke. Those who know and believe how much God truly loves them and has forgiven them, they will end up loving Him very much! Those who have little understanding of His love and forgiveness will love little. This is why it is imperative as new covenant believers that we focus on how much God loves us instead of how much we love God. If you truly receive and believe how much God loves you and has forgiven you of all your sins, you will end up loving God greatly - he who is forgiven much, loves much! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekingdom4everyone/support
