Welcome to the GBC Sermon Podcast, a weekly podcast from Gymea Baptist Church in Sydney Australia. I'm Marc Rader, senior pastor here at GBC and I hope that you are available to hear the invitation of Jesus.
This week we continue our series entitled: Lives Changed by Jesus. Ten stories from the New Testament of people whose lives were changed by a single, common factor: encountering Jesus. This week, Belinda Lakelin reflects on the transformed life of the so-called "sinful" woman who anoints him in Luke 7:36-50.
The actions of this unnamed, but forgiven, woman stand in stark contrast to Simon's. In the fact of his deliberate shaming of Jesus, this woman, motivated by her great love, seeks to honour Jesus with what she has in her hands. Her actions are a powerful example for each of us to honour Jesus who is worthy of all honour.
Don't forget to join us for the Big III, a mid-week podcast where Matt, Jess, and I sit down and unpack three big questions that were raised in the sermon. Find the Big III everywhere you listen to podcasts.
You can also download a discipleship menu for this sermon. The menus are a selection of activities that you can engage in on your own, with a friend, or even in a small group to put this message into practice in your life. Download the menu from our website gymeabaptist.org.au under the Next Steps and Growing tab.
We continue our staggered return to face-to-face gatherings this week. For more details, keep an eye out for that on our social media platforms. Our 9:30 am live-streamed service continues for a few more weeks and we'd love for you to join us online at www.gbconline.org.au.
Is there someone you know who really needs to hear this message? Why not share it with them and see what God does through it.
