I Beg Your Pardon
(June 13, 2010) Sermon Questions

Text: Luke 7:36-50

What barriers would I be willing to overcome so I could meet with Jesus?

In what way do I make 'sinners' not feel welcome around me?
- What sins in others can I just not get past?
- If someone who had committed those sins was to come here on a Sunday, how welcome would they feel around me?

If Jesus came here today, where would he hang out? Who would he hang out with? And why?
- How prepared am I to hang out with the people Jesus would hang out with?

Who am I more like -- the woman, or Simon?
- What is the difference between how I look at my sins and how she looked at hers?

What will I do this week so my life says loud and to anyone anywhere, "You are welcome"?

How willing am I to look into the eyes of Jesus and say, "I beg your pardon"?
