Forgiveness Produces Love - Luke 7:36–8:3 | March 27, 2026

Welcome to One Single Story, Season 5. I'm Pastor Stephen Mizell, joined today by Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Wendy Korbusieski from Open Door Church in Edenton, North Carolina. Each weekday we bring you a focused lesson from the One Year Bible reading plan, and today we are in Luke 7:36-8:3.

In this passage, a sinful woman crashes a dinner at a Pharisee's house to anoint Jesus' feet, and Jesus uses the moment to reveal a powerful truth: the depth of our love for Christ is directly connected to our awareness of how much we have been forgiven.

We dig into why the Pharisees, despite being in the same room as Jesus, remained completely unmoved, and how self-righteousness blinds us to our own need for grace. We also look at the women of Luke 8 who supported Jesus' ministry out of their own resources, and what their generosity reveals about a life truly transformed by encounter with Christ.

As one of our hosts puts it: "True gratitude moves obedience from something that you have to do to something that you want to do."
