Podcasts about sinful woman

Sometimes, to understand the meaning of a story Jesus told, you have to back up and understand the entire scene. For today's parable, we can't just jump into the story without looking at what happened right before it. The situation leading up to the parable is actually the key to understanding why Jesus told it in the first place. So, before we get to the story, let's back up a little. What was happening? Who was Jesus talking to? What had just unfolded? And what was Jesus trying to teach them? Luke 7:36–50 has four parts: the setting, the problem, the parable, and the point. And when you put all four pieces together, you see that Jesus wasn't simply telling a story about a sinful woman and a judgmental Pharisee. He was exposing something much deeper – the condition of the human heart. Let's start with the setting. Jesus has been invited to dinner at the home of a Pharisee named Simon. While they are eating, a woman with a reputation for being sinful enters the room. In fact, scripture calls her a “certain immoral woman”. She brings an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, stands behind Jesus, and begins to weep. Her tears fall onto His feet, and she wipes them with her hair. Then she kisses His feet and pours the perfume over them. Can you imagine the scene? This woman walks into a room where she knows she is not exactly welcome, and she goes straight to Jesus. She isn’t concerned about what everyone else thinks. She isn’t trying to defend herself or explain her past. She simply comes to Jesus with a heart full of something – love, gratitude, repentance, desperation. And she pours it all out at His feet. But the Pharisee is watching. Here’s the problem: Instead of seeing a woman who has come to Jesus, the Pharisee sees a woman who doesn’t belong in the room. It says, “When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, ‘if this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. She’s a sinner!'” He has elevated himself to be better than this woman. Not only that, he is critical of her worship. What comes next you can’t miss. Verse 40, “Then JESUS ANSWERED HIS THOUGHTS. ‘Simon,’ he said to the Pharisee, I have something to say to you.'” Notice the Simon hadn’t spoken a word about this woman, he had only been thinking these thoughts. But Jesus KNEW his thoughts and he addressed them. My friends, it really isn’t just about what you say, it is what you think and how you feel in your heart. Jesus knows – and he has something to say about it! Now, the parable, verses 41 & 42: “Then Jesus told him a story. ‘A man loaned money to two people – 500 pieces of silver to one and 50 pieces to the other. But neither of them could repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts. Who do you suppose loved him more after that?’ Simon answered, ‘I suppose the one for whom he canceled the larger debt.’ ‘That’s right,’ Jesus said. Now, the point: Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, ‘Look at this woman kneeling here. When I entered your home, you didn’t offer me water to wash the dust from my feet, but she has washed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but from the time I first came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet. You neglected the courtesy of olive oil to anoint my head, but she has anointed my feet with rare perfume. I tell you, her sins – and they are many – have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.’ Then Jesus said to the woman, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ ———— Want to dig deeper with me? This immoral woman with a reputation is believed to perhaps be Mary Magdalene, who was likely a prostitute. It took so much courage for her to show up at a Pharisee’s house where she knew she would be judged. But absolutely nothing could stop her love for Jesus. When the Pharisee saw her, all he could see was her sin. And while Jesus was fully aware of her sin, he saw her love, her repentance and her devotion. There’s a saying that Satan knows your name but calls you by your sin – God knows your sin but calls you by your name. What a reminder for our hearts – how are we calling people? Is it all about what they’ve done, or can we remember WHO they really are? Who they were created to be. How God sees them. Jesus knew this woman. He saw her heart, just as he saw the Pharisee’s heart. Why did she love Jesus so much? Well, think about this perspective for a moment – this likely wasn’t their first encounter. Before this dinner, Jesus had probably encountered her privately. We read in Luke 8 about the women who joined the 12 disciples in following Jesus – one of them was Mary Magdalene whom he had cast out seven demons. We never see the actual encounter of Jesus casting out these demons from Mary Magdalene, we just know it happened. So, wouldn’t it make sense if this immoral woman with a bad reputation at dinner that night was Mary Magdalene – a woman who had experienced forgiveness, a woman who had been set free from the torment of seven demons, a woman whose life had been radically changed by Jesus – now comes boldly to the Pharisee’s house to thank Jesus. Doesn’t it make sense that she wasn’t letting anyone get in the way of her worshiping the one who had forgiven her for so much? She was a humble sinner pouring out her love for Jesus, knowing she had been forgiven – and guess what – that was awkward for others. It was an awkward scene at the dinner table. Jesus is sitting there trying to eat and here she is crying all over his feet and wiping her tears up with her hair. My friends, she is worshiping with a heart that is truly aware of what Jesus has done for her. The debt he has forgiven her of. The absolute life change he has made for her. The freedom she now walks in only because of him. He welcomed her praise. Why are we so afraid to be real with what Jesus has done for us? Why would we tone down our praise or dial back our worship? Hey, if you haven’t saved my soul, then I’m not going to let you stand in the way of me praising the one who has! If it’s awkward for you, I’m sorry because this isn’t about you or anyone else in the room. It’s about Jesus. And here's the thing: the woman wasn’t trying to impress anyone. She wasn’t putting on a show. She was responding to what Jesus had done for her. Her worship flowed from her awareness of her forgiveness. That is the point Jesus was making with Simon. The issue wasn’t that the woman was a really bad sinner and Simon was a pretty good guy. The issue was that the woman knew she needed forgiveness, and Simon the Pharisee didn’t seem to realize how much he needed it too. Simon looked at her and thought, She’s a sinner. Jesus looked at her and saw someone who had been forgiven. Simon looked at her past. Jesus saw her heart. Simon was focused on how much sin was in her life. Jesus was focused on how much love was flowing from her life. But what if, sometimes, we’re a little more like Simon than we’d like to admit? What if we have become so familiar with grace that we’ve forgotten what we’ve been forgiven of? What if we look at someone else’s mess and somehow forget that we have our own? What if we have quietly elevated ourselves – not because we would ever say, “I’m better than you,” but because somewhere in our hearts, we have started thinking it? That’s the danger of self-righteousness. It doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes it just sits quietly at the dinner table. Jesus knew Simon’s thoughts, and He knows ours, too. He sees the thoughts we never say out loud. He sees the judgments we hide behind a smile. He sees the pride we don’t even recognize as pride. And He doesn’t expose our hearts to shame us. He exposes them because He wants to change them. The woman came to Jesus fully aware of her need. Simon was sitting inches away from Jesus and didn’t seem to realize his need at all. One walked away forgiven.The other was left to wrestle with what Jesus had just revealed about his heart. How aware are you of your need for Jesus? Because the more deeply we understand what we’ve been forgiven of, the more deeply we’ll love the One who forgave us. The woman didn’t worship Jesus because she was perfect. She worshiped Him because she knew she wasn’t. She knew her debt was great – and she knew her Savior was greater. And that’s us, too. We don’t come to Jesus because we’ve cleaned ourselves up enough to deserve Him. We come because we know we need Him. We don’t worship because we’ve earned His goodness. We worship because we’ve experienced His grace. So don’t let shame keep you from Jesus. Don’t let someone else’s opinion keep you from Jesus. And don’t let your own pride keep you from recognizing how much you need Jesus. Come to Him with your whole heart. Come with your gratitude. Come with your repentance. Come with your mess. Come with your worship. And when you really understand what He has forgiven you for, what He has rescued you from, and what He has done in your life, don’t be surprised if your worship gets a little awkward. Let it. Because sometimes the people who look the most ridiculous at the feet of Jesus are the ones who understand the most clearly just how much they have been forgiven. The story ends with verse 50. Reading from TPT, Jesus says to the woman, “Your faith in me has given you life. Now you may leave and walk in the ways of peace.” If this woman was indeed Mary Magdalene, she likely went from living a sinful life as a shameful prostitute, to walking closely with Jesus for the rest of his life, right up to the cross. Wow – if Jesus can change her life, can’t he change yours?

Do you ever feel like you're spending so much time in Christian spaces and Christian activities, and yet somehow missing out on God Himself? Sometimes we can get so fixated on who we want God to be that we forget to ask Him to show us who He really is. Other times, we want the benefits of an authentic relationship with God without being real ourselves. And then there are the times when we're too afraid to approach Him at all. In this episode of Ask Away, Jo unpacks a story from Luke 7 which speaks life to anyone who feels like they're missing out on Jesus.  ------ We're so glad you joined us for Ask Away. If you have a question that needs answering, we'd love to hear it.

The Sinful Woman | Anna by Door of Hope Christian Church

Sunday Sermon by Kevin JensenFrom three stories about Jesus and his interactions with a centurion, a widow, and a sinful woman, we learn about three traits of our Lord that prompt us to grow in faith in him.Text: Luke 7:1-17, 7:36-50

You know, the Lord Jesus Christ was the Great Physician. Multitudes of people came to Him with various ailments and were instantly healed. We have one such story in the Bible of a woman who had spent all of her money on medical remedies but continued to grow worse. Her time was running out. Would she admit that she needed help? Her life depended on it. In this week's message, we look at  this woman's story in more detail applying the glorious gospel message to her experience with Christ that day.

Jesus, Simon the Pharisee, & the Sinful WomanLuke 7:36–50You can be around religion and still miss the heart of Jesus.

Come As You Are Series - The Woman Who Anointed Jesus' FeetLuke 7:47 "Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”I usually don't have a scripture verse for these episodes in advance.  I usually ask God to give me one right before I write it, or I look in my Encounter Ministry notes, or my prayer group notes.  However, yesterday, when I was listening to another podcast, this story from the Bible came to me clear as day.  This is not necessarily strange because, as you know, I sometimes get my episode ideas from other podcasts like The Big Life Devotional, Elevation, or Father Mike's podcasts.  However, this time the podcast I was listening to was not talking about this story at all.  The story just popped into my head, and I felt as if that was definitely the verse I was supposed to use today.  I chose Luke 7:47 as the main verse because that was the main point I felt the Holy Spirit emphasized when I got the verse; however, it probably won't make any sense without the context of the whole story.  The story is called “Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman,” and it is found in Luke 7:36-50.  “When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.  A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume.  As she stood behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and poured perfume on them. When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”  Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, teacher,” he said. “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.  Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now, which of them will love him more?”  Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.” “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.  Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.  You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet.  Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”  Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”Actually, now that I am writing, I see why this came to me while I was listening to the other podcast.  The Big Life Devotional Podcast with Pamela Crim was talking about loving other people yesterday.  As soon as she said Do we love others, this story came to mind.  I think the point the Holy Spirit wanted me to make is about forgiveness.  In this verse, Jesus is forgiving this woman of her sins.  The reason she was crying and was washing Jesus' feet with her tears and anointing them with perfume is that she knew all of her sins.  She didn't come into that house pretending to be anything different.  She knew she was full of sin and that she was in the presence of the Lord.  She knew she had a lot to repent for, and she knew Jesus could forgive her sins.  She wasn't afraid to approach Jesus.  She didn't let her sins keep her from coming into the presence of God.  She approached him, bowed at his feet, and washed his feet.  She humbled herself with the faith that she would be forgiven.  Today's verse says, “Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.” The person who owned the house was thinking in his head that Jesus didn't know all of her sins.  He was thinking if Jesus were a prophet, he would know her sins, and he would not let her touch Him.  What Jesus is saying here is that if she weren't a great sinner, if she didn't really have many sins, she wouldn't have humbled herself, she wouldn't have sat at his feet and washed them with her tears.  She loved Jesus so much because she knew how much sin she had and how great a thing it was for Him to forgive it all.  She loved Him so much because she had so much sin.  What the Holy Spirit was saying to me yesterday was that we should be more loving to others because we have been forgiven so much also.  I feel like I am struggling to get you to see what the Holy Spirit was showing me, and yet I am trusting what He wants you to hear; you will hear.  What he showed me was that we struggle to forgive others, even when they had done little offenses to us.  Sometimes, they haven't done anything to us, and yet we don't love the person because we don't like how they look, how they think, how they believe, or how they talk.  We judge others so much, and God is saying, “Why are you judging them when I am not judging you? Why are you acting as if you have done nothing wrong?  Why are you judging my creations?  I created each person, who are you to judge them?  You have been forgiven of so much, I have overlooked so much for you, why can't you do the same?  I love you, my children, with an everlasting love and unconditional love, and I am asking you to do the same.  I know you don't all look alike, sound alike, dress alike, or believe the same things, and that is ok.  I still call you to love one another unconditionally.  I know you can't do this on your own, and yet if you only say the word, I can help you.  If you strive to love everyone, I will make your efforts fruitful.  First, you must make that choice.  You must choose to love others, even those you don't agree with.  When you wish to judge someone, imagine me up in heaven using those same standards to judge you.  Is it worth it?  Do you want me to use your standards to judge you?  Remember all you have done, remember all your imperfections, and remember that I have forgiven them all, and I ask you to do the same towards others.  Spread my love like wildfire.  I promise that if you start to lead with love, your whole life will change.  You will be friends with people you never expected.  You will learn things you never expected.  Trust me, my children, and start loving more and judging less.”Well, I did not expect the Holy Spirit to speak directly to us, although I did pray for this episode to be His words, not mine, and I did let Him know I was struggling to get His point across, so thank you, Lord, for your amazing words this morning.  I will end with that because He has said it all.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we can't thank you enough for showing up and speaking to each one of us directly.  Help us to ponder your words, Lord.  Please help us to see how we can live into those words.  Give us the grace to lead with love, let that be our default, Lord!! Help us to stop judging, help us to love first.  Lord, we need a lot of help in this area.  We ask you to rain down your love, your grace, and your strength on us so we can follow your command to love all.  We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  I look forward to seeing you again soon!  Remember, Jesus loves you, and He wants you to share that love with others.  I love you all too!  Have a blessed day!Today's Word from the Lord was received in July 2025 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

Today, we're tackling a big topic that so many women wrestle with: sales. How do you sell your offer without feeling pushy, slimy, or “salesy”? I've invited a very special guest, Stephanie Pady, to walk us through what it looks like to sell from a biblically aligned perspective. Stephanie is a mom, seminary student, sales trainer, and leadership coach who has spent years equipping both corporate teams and Christian women to step into influence with confidence. She has such a powerful lens on what sales really is—hint: it's about trust and influence, not pressure. In this conversation, you'll hear: -Stephanie's story of moving from sales resistance to sales confidence. -Why every conversation is a sales transaction (and how that ties to the gospel). -The #1 skill that will transform the way you connect with people. -Practical ways to handle objections without manipulation. -How Jesus modeled influence and what we can learn from Him about trust, questions, and leadership. -We also talk about preparing for “no's,” the power of one-on-one connection, and why sometimes a “not yet” is still a win.

Life Around The Table (Part 2). We see in the story of the Sinful Woman in Luke 7 that how we come to the table matters. Are you coming to the table full of distraction or empty and ready to be filled?

In this passage we see a scorned woman who is desperate to approach Jesus, despite his being the invited guest of a wealthy and righteous man. To everyone's shock, Jesus welcomes and praises her. This event taught the early church and teaches us that those who are unashamed of Jesus, will be received since he is unashamed of them.

Rev. Patrick Donohue

This week, we are reading Luke 7:36-50, where Jesus, a Pharisee named Simon, and a woman who is a sinner come together at a dinner party. The emotional intensity of this story is hard to overstate. As the woman cries over Jesus's feet, we wonder – what is the tenor of emotion that has cracked her open? Is it guilt & pleading? Gratitude or vulnerability? Is it longing?  Jesus says that her faith has saved her, but what can we say about her faith from this short story where she never speaks? And how is it that she is laid bare in Jesus's presence, when the dinner host seems so ... calm?

Simon, the Pharisee, invites Jesus to a dinner party. He fails to offer Jesus the customary greetings and honors. But a woman of the city, a known “sinner,” who joins the poor in the room has come to honor Jesus–she begins weeping, then wiping his feet with her hair, kissing them and anointing them with […]

What does it mean to be truly forgiven?  In this episode of I Love to Tell the Story: A Podcast on the Narrative Lectionary, Craig Koester, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Rolf Jacobson dive into the moving story of the sinful woman who weeps at Jesus' feet. Join us as we explore the cultural context, her devotion's depth, and grace's transformative power.

This sermon is the last in a series of encounters between Jesus and his friends, interactions with those friendly to Jesus that teach us about our salvation. Jesus eats with the Pharisees, and all appears well until a woman shows up. Simon, the host, determines that she has no business interacting with Jesus. In reply, the Lord turns the dining facility into a classroom. Jesus uses a parable and the woman's response of love for him to teach about his immense grace in forgiving sins. Luke 7:36-50 helps us investigate just what kind of grace Jesus offers and the love we see displayed in response to his undeserved favor.
