  today's

  reading
• 1:03
  and
• 1:03
  we're
• 1:03
  reading
• 1:03
  today
• 1:04
  from
• 1:04
  the
• 1:04
  Gospel
• 1:04
  of
• 1:05
  John,
• 1:06
  chapter
• 1:06
  7,
• 1:07
  verses

  53
• 1:08
  through
• 1:08
  8:11
• 1:11
  from
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  Message
• 1:13
  but
• 1:13
  they
• 1:13
  cut
• 1:13
  him
• 1:14
  off.
• 1:15
  Are
• 1:15
  you
• 1:15
  also
• 1:16
  campaigning
• 1:16
  for
• 1:17
  the
• 1:17
  Galilean?
• 1:19
  Examine
• 1:19
  the
• 1:20
  evidence.
• 1:20
  See
• 1:20
  if
• 1:21
  any
• 1:21
  prophet
• 1:21
  ever
• 1:21
  comes
• 1:22
  from
• 1:22
  Galilee.
• 1:23
  Then
• 1:23
  they
• 1:24
  all
• 1:24
  went
• 1:24
  home
• 1:26
  to
• 1:27
  throw
• 1:27
  the
• 1:27
  stone.
• 1:29
  Jesus
• 1:30
  went
• 1:30
  back
• 1:30
  to
• 1:31
  Mount
• 1:31
  Olives
• 1:31
  and
• 1:32
  he
• 1:32
  was
• 1:32
  soon
• 1:32
  back
• 1:32
  in
• 1:32
  the
• 1:33
  temple
• 1:33
  again.
• 1:34
  Swarms
• 1:34
  of
• 1:35
  people
• 1:35
  came
• 1:35
  to
• 1:35
  him
• 1:35
  and
• 1:35
  he
• 1:36
  sat
• 1:36
  down
• 1:36
  and
• 1:36
  taught
• 1:36
  them.
• 1:38
  The
• 1:38
  religion
• 1:39
  scholars
• 1:39
  and
• 1:40
  Pharisees
• 1:40
  let
• 1:40
  a
• 1:40
  woman
• 1:41
  in
• 1:41
  who'd
• 1:41
  been
• 1:41
  caught
• 1:41
  in
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  act
• 1:42
  of
• 1:42
  adultery.
• 1:43
  They
• 1:44
  stood
• 1:44
  in
• 1:44
  plain
• 1:44
  sight
• 1:45
  of
• 1:45
  everyone
• 1:45
  and
• 1:45
  said,
• 1:45
  teacher,
• 1:46
  this
• 1:46
  woman
• 1:46
  was
• 1:47
  caught
• 1:47
  red
• 1:48
  handed
• 1:48
  in
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  act
• 1:48
  of
• 1:49
  adultery.
• 1:50
  Moses
• 1:51
  in
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  law
• 1:52
  gives
• 1:52
  orders
• 1:53
  to
• 1:53
  stone
• 1:53
  such
• 1:53
  persons.
• 1:54
  What
• 1:54
  do
• 1:54
  you
• 1:54
  say?
• 1:55
  They
• 1:56
  were
• 1:56
  trying
• 1:56
  to
• 1:56
  trap
• 1:56
  him
• 1:57
  into
• 1:57
  saying
• 1:57
  something
• 1:58
  incriminating
• 1:59
  so
• 1:59
  they
• 1:59
  could
• 1:59
  bring
• 2:00
  charges
• 2:00
  against
• 2:00
  him.
• 2:02
  Jesus
• 2:02
  bent
• 2:02
  down
• 2:03
  and
• 2:03
  wrote
• 2:03
  with
• 2:03
  his
• 2:03
  finger
• 2:03
  on
• 2:04
  the
• 2:04
  dirt.
• 2:05
  They
• 2:05
  kept
• 2:05
  at
• 2:06
  him,
• 2:06
  badgering
• 2:06
  him.
• 2:07
  He
• 2:07
  straightened
• 2:08
  up
• 2:08
  and
• 2:08
  said,
• 2:09
  the
• 2:09
  sinless
• 2:10
  among
• 2:10
  you
• 2:11
  go
• 2:11
  first.
• 2:12
  Throw
• 2:12
  the
• 2:12
  stone.
• 2:14
  Bending
• 2:14
  down
• 2:15
  again,
• 2:15
  he
• 2:15
  wrote
• 2:15
  some
• 2:15
  more
• 2:16
  in
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  dirt.
• 2:18
  Hearing
• 2:18
  that,
• 2:19
  they
• 2:19
  walked
• 2:19
  away
• 2:19
  one
• 2:20
  after
• 2:20
  another,
• 2:21
  beginning
• 2:22
  with
• 2:22
  the
• 2:22
  oldest.
• 2:24
  The
• 2:24
  woman
• 2:24
  was
• 2:24
  left
• 2:24
  alone
• 2:25
  and
• 2:25
  Jesus
• 2:25
  stood
• 2:26
  up
• 2:26
  and
• 2:26
  spoke
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  her.
• 2:27
  Woman,
• 2:28
  where
• 2:28
  are
• 2:29
  they?
• 2:30
  Does
• 2:30
  no
• 2:31
  one
• 2:31
  condemn
• 2:31
  you?
• 2:34
  No
• 2:34
  one,
• 2:34
  master.
• 2:36
  Neither
• 2:37
  do
• 2:37
  I.
• 2:37
  Said
• 2:37
  Jesus,
• 2:39
  go
• 2:39
  on
• 2:39
  your
• 2:40
  way
• 2:41
  from
• 2:41
  now
• 2:42
  on.
• 2:43
  Don't
• 2:43
  sin.
• 2:45
  Well,
• 2:46
  my
• 2:46
  friend,
• 2:46
  thank
• 2:46
  you
• 2:46
  for
• 2:46
  showing
• 2:47
  up
• 2:47
  today.
• 2:47
  I'm
• 2:47
  glad
• 2:47
  that
• 2:47
  you
• 2:48
  did
• 2:48
  in
• 2:48
  this
• 2:48
  passage,
• 2:49
  and
• 2:50
  this
• 2:50
  one
• 2:50
  is
• 2:50
  really
• 2:51
  a
• 2:51
  powerful
• 2:51
  passage
• 2:52
  from
• 2:52
  John's
• 2:52
  Gospel.
• 2:53
  It's
• 2:53
  famous
• 2:53
  story
• 2:54
  of
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  woman
• 2:55
  caught
• 2:55
  in
• 2:55
  adultery.
• 2:56
  And
• 2:56
  if
• 2:56
  you
• 2:57
  spend
• 2:57
  any
• 2:57
  time
• 2:57
  in
• 2:57
  church
• 2:58
  at
• 2:58
  all,
• 2:59
  you've
• 2:59
  probably
• 2:59
  heard
• 2:59
  a
• 2:59
  sermon
• 3:00
  about
• 3:00
  this.
• 3:00
  But
• 3:00
  let's
• 3:02
  slow
• 3:02
  down
• 3:02
  and
• 3:04
  contemplate
• 3:05
  this
• 3:05
  just
• 3:06
  for
• 3:06
  a
• 3:06
  second
• 3:07
  because
• 3:07
  I
• 3:07
  think
• 3:08
  there's
• 3:08
  a
• 3:08
  couple
• 3:09
  points
• 3:09
  here
• 3:09
  that
• 3:09
  we
• 3:10
  just
• 3:11
  might
• 3:11
  be
• 3:11
  missing.
• 3:13
  Let's
• 3:13
  set
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  scene.
• 3:14
  Jesus
• 3:14
  is
• 3:14
  teaching
• 3:15
  in
• 3:15
  the
• 3:15
  temple.
• 3:15
  Crowds
• 3:16
  everywhere,
• 3:16
  religious
• 3:17
  scholars
• 3:17
  and
• 3:18
  Pharisees
• 3:18
  come
• 3:19
  dragging
• 3:19
  in
• 3:19
  a
• 3:20
  woman.
• 3:20
  The
• 3:20
  text
• 3:21
  says
• 3:21
  she
• 3:21
  was
• 3:21
  caught
• 3:21
  red
• 3:22
  handed
• 3:22
  in
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  act
• 3:22
  of
• 3:23
  adultery.
• 3:24
  They
• 3:24
  stood
• 3:24
  right
• 3:25
  in
• 3:25
  front
• 3:25
  of
• 3:25
  everyone
• 3:25
  in
• 3:26
  plain
• 3:26
  sight,
• 3:26
  exposed,
• 3:28
  humiliated.
• 3:28
  And
• 3:29
  they
• 3:29
  say,
• 3:30
  Moses
• 3:30
  says
• 3:30
  to
• 3:30
  stoner,
• 3:31
  what
• 3:31
  do
• 3:31
  you
• 3:31
  say
• 3:33
  now?
• 3:33
  Jesus
• 3:34
  doesn't
• 3:34
  take
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  bait.
• 3:35
  He
• 3:35
  bends
• 3:35
  down,
• 3:35
  starts
• 3:35
  riding
• 3:36
  into
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  dirt.
• 3:36
  They
• 3:37
  kept
• 3:37
  badgering
• 3:37
  him
• 3:38
  and
• 3:38
  they
• 3:38
  finally
• 3:38
  stands
• 3:38
  up
• 3:39
  and
• 3:39
  delivers
• 3:40
  one
• 3:40
  of
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  most
• 3:40
  powerful
• 3:41
  sentences
• 3:41
  ever
• 3:41
  spoken.
• 3:43
  The
• 3:43
  sinless
• 3:43
  one
• 3:43
  among
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  go
• 3:44
  first.
• 3:44
  Throw
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  stone.
• 3:45
  Then
• 3:46
  he
• 3:46
  bends
• 3:46
  down,
• 3:46
  starts
• 3:47
  writing
• 3:47
  again.
• 3:48
  And
• 3:48
  one
• 3:48
  by
• 3:49
  one,
• 3:49
  they,
• 3:50
  starting
• 3:50
  with
• 3:50
  the
• 3:51
  oldest,
• 3:51
  they
• 3:51
  walk
• 3:51
  away.
• 3:53
  Then
• 3:53
  this
• 3:53
  extraordinary
• 3:54
  moment
• 3:54
  happens.
• 3:54
  And
• 3:55
  Jesus
• 3:55
  looks
• 3:55
  up
• 3:55
  at
• 3:55
  the
• 3:56
  woman
• 3:56
  who
• 3:57
  moments
• 3:57
  ago
• 3:57
  was
• 3:58
  staying
• 3:58
  in
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  center
• 3:58
  of
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  mob,
• 3:59
  humiliating,
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  says,
• 3:59
  woman,
• 4:00
  where
• 4:00
  are
• 4:00
  they?
• 4:01
  Does
• 4:01
  no
• 4:01
  one
• 4:01
  condemn
• 4:02
  you?
• 4:03
  And
• 4:04
  she
• 4:04
  says,
• 4:04
  no
• 4:04
  one,
• 4:05
  master.
• 4:06
  And
• 4:06
  Jesus
• 4:07
  says,
• 4:07
  neither
• 4:07
  do
• 4:07
  I
• 4:08
  go
• 4:08
  in
• 4:08
  your
• 4:08
  way.
• 4:08
  From
• 4:08
  now
• 4:08
  on,
• 4:09
  don't
• 4:09
  sin.
• 4:10
  Let's
• 4:10
  go
• 4:11
  a
• 4:11
  little
• 4:11
  deeper
• 4:11
  in
• 4:11
  this.
• 4:11
  Let's
• 4:12
  go
• 4:12
  into
• 4:12
  a
• 4:12
  couple
• 4:12
  points
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  ponder.
• 4:14
  Notice
• 4:15
  who's
• 4:15
  missing
• 4:16
  from
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  story.
• 4:17
  The
• 4:17
  text
• 4:18
  says
• 4:18
  she
• 4:18
  was
• 4:18
  caught
• 4:18
  in
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  act
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  adultery
• 4:19
  in
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  act,
• 4:20
  which
• 4:20
  means
• 4:20
  by
• 4:20
  definition,
• 4:22
  there
• 4:22
  was
• 4:22
  another
• 4:23
  person
• 4:23
  involved.
• 4:23
  So
• 4:24
  where
• 4:24
  was
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  man?
• 4:25
  Where
• 4:25
  was
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  guy?
• 4:26
  He's
• 4:27
  nowhere.
• 4:27
  He's
• 4:27
  absent
• 4:28
  from
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  story
• 4:28
  completely.
• 4:30
  The
• 4:30
  religious
• 4:31
  leaders
• 4:31
  didn't
• 4:31
  drag
• 4:31
  him
• 4:32
  into
• 4:32
  the
• 4:32
  public
• 4:32
  square.
• 4:34
  They
• 4:34
  didn't
• 4:34
  put
• 4:34
  him
• 4:34
  on
• 4:34
  display.
• 4:35
  They
• 4:35
  chose
• 4:36
  her.
• 4:37
  And
• 4:37
  that
• 4:37
  tells
• 4:38
  us
• 4:38
  something
• 4:38
  critical.
• 4:39
  This
• 4:39
  was
• 4:39
  never
• 4:39
  really
• 4:40
  about
• 4:40
  sin.
• 4:41
  This
• 4:41
  was
• 4:41
  about
• 4:42
  power.
• 4:43
  This
• 4:43
  was
• 4:43
  about
• 4:44
  using
• 4:44
  a
• 4:44
  vulnerable
• 4:45
  person
• 4:45
  as
• 4:45
  a
• 4:45
  prop
• 4:46
  in
• 4:46
  a
• 4:47
  religious
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  political
• 4:47
  game.
• 4:48
  They
• 4:49
  weren't
• 4:49
  interested
• 4:49
  in
• 4:50
  justice.
• 4:50
  They
• 4:51
  were
• 4:51
  interested
• 4:51
  in
• 4:51
  trapping
• 4:52
  Jesus.
• 4:52
  And
• 4:52
  she
• 4:53
  was
• 4:53
  just
• 4:53
  a
• 4:54
  convenient
• 4:54
  tool.
• 4:56
  So
• 4:56
  I
• 4:56
  think
• 4:56
  about
• 4:56
  this
• 4:57
  kind
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  a
• 4:58
  lot
• 4:58
  these
• 4:59
  days,
• 5:00
  about
• 5:00
  the
• 5:01
  injustices
• 5:01
  are
• 5:01
  happening
• 5:02
  in
• 5:02
  our
• 5:02
  world
• 5:02
  and
• 5:02
  people
• 5:03
  being
• 5:03
  blamed
• 5:04
  and
• 5:05
  made
• 5:06
  a
• 5:06
  spectacle
• 5:06
  of.
• 5:08
  In
• 5:08
  my
• 5:08
  cancer
• 5:09
  podcast,
• 5:09
  I
• 5:10
  talk
• 5:10
  with
• 5:10
  people
• 5:10
  who
• 5:10
  are
• 5:10
  already
• 5:10
  dealing
• 5:11
  with
• 5:11
  the
• 5:12
  hardest
• 5:12
  things
• 5:12
  imaginable.
• 5:13
  Sometimes
• 5:13
  they
• 5:13
  tell
• 5:14
  me
• 5:14
  that
• 5:14
  there's
• 5:15
  some
• 5:15
  layers
• 5:16
  of
• 5:16
  judgment
• 5:16
  that
• 5:16
  they
• 5:16
  face
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  on
• 5:18
  top
• 5:18
  of
• 5:18
  it.
• 5:18
  People
• 5:18
  questioning
• 5:19
  their
• 5:19
  faith,
• 5:19
  their
• 5:20
  lifestyle,
• 5:20
  their
• 5:21
  choices.
• 5:22
  When
• 5:23
  religion
• 5:23
  gets
• 5:24
  weaponized
• 5:24
  against
• 5:25
  vulnerable
• 5:25
  people,
• 5:26
  it
• 5:26
  stops
• 5:27
  being
• 5:27
  about
• 5:27
  God
• 5:27
  and
• 5:27
  starts
• 5:28
  being
• 5:28
  about
• 5:28
  control.
• 5:30
  And
• 5:30
  Jesus
• 5:30
  saw
• 5:31
  straight
• 5:31
  through
• 5:31
  it
• 5:32
  and
• 5:32
  he
• 5:32
  stood
• 5:33
  between
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  powerful
• 5:33
  and
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  powerless.
• 5:35
  And
• 5:35
  that
• 5:36
  should
• 5:36
  tell
• 5:36
  us
• 5:36
  a
• 5:36
  little
• 5:36
  something
• 5:37
  about
• 5:37
  we're
• 5:37
  supposed
• 5:37
  to
• 5:37
  be
• 5:38
  standing,
• 5:39
  what
• 5:39
  we're
• 5:39
  supposed
• 5:39
  to
• 5:40
  be
• 5:40
  doing
• 5:40
  as
• 5:40
  well.
• 5:42
  Second
• 5:42
  point
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  ponder.
• 5:43
  Jesus
• 5:43
  didn't
• 5:44
  ask
• 5:44
  for
• 5:44
  her
• 5:44
  story,
• 5:46
  her
• 5:46
  defense,
• 5:47
  or
• 5:47
  her
• 5:47
  confession
• 5:47
  before
• 5:48
  offering
• 5:48
  grace.
• 5:49
  He
• 5:49
  didn't
• 5:50
  say,
• 5:50
  well,
• 5:50
  first
• 5:51
  tell
• 5:51
  me
• 5:51
  your
• 5:51
  side.
• 5:51
  He
• 5:52
  didn't
• 5:52
  say,
• 5:53
  if
• 5:53
  you're
• 5:53
  truly
• 5:54
  sorry,
• 5:55
  then
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  won't
• 5:55
  condemn
• 5:55
  you.
• 5:56
  No,
• 5:56
  he
• 5:56
  just
• 5:57
  said,
• 5:58
  neither
• 5:58
  do
• 5:58
  I.
• 5:58
  I
• 5:59
  don't
• 5:59
  condemn
• 5:59
  you.
• 6:00
  Grace
• 6:00
  comes
• 6:01
  first.
• 6:02
  The
• 6:02
  invitation
• 6:03
  to
• 6:03
  new
• 6:03
  way
• 6:03
  of
• 6:03
  living
• 6:03
  came
• 6:04
  after
• 6:04
  grace,
• 6:06
  not
• 6:06
  as
• 6:06
  a
• 6:06
  condition
• 6:07
  of
• 6:07
  it.
• 6:08
  Now,
• 6:08
  I've
• 6:09
  been
• 6:09
  married
• 6:09
  for
• 6:09
  greater
• 6:09
  than
• 6:10
  34
• 6:10
  years
• 6:10
  and
• 6:10
  I've
• 6:11
  got
• 6:11
  three
• 6:11
  grown
• 6:11
  kids,
• 6:13
  two
• 6:13
  little
• 6:13
  granddaughters.
• 6:14
  They
• 6:15
  fell
• 6:15
  my
• 6:15
  heart.
• 6:16
  And
• 6:17
  one
• 6:17
  of
• 6:17
  those
• 6:18
  thing
• 6:18
  all
• 6:19
  those
• 6:19
  years
• 6:19
  of
• 6:19
  family
• 6:19
  life
• 6:20
  have
• 6:20
  taught
• 6:20
  me
• 6:20
  is
• 6:20
  that
• 6:20
  nobody
• 6:21
  is
• 6:21
  that
• 6:22
  people
• 6:22
  don't
• 6:22
  transform
• 6:22
  because
• 6:23
  you
• 6:23
  shame
• 6:23
  them.
• 6:25
  Nobody
• 6:26
  ever
• 6:26
  got
• 6:26
  loved
• 6:27
  into
• 6:27
  wholeness
• 6:27
  by
• 6:27
  first
• 6:28
  being
• 6:28
  humiliated.
• 6:30
  People
• 6:30
  change
• 6:30
  when
• 6:31
  they
• 6:31
  encounter
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  unexpected.
• 6:33
  Undeserved
• 6:33
  grace.
• 6:34
  That's
• 6:35
  what
• 6:35
  Jesus
• 6:35
  offered
• 6:36
  this
• 6:36
  woman.
• 6:36
  Not
• 6:36
  a
• 6:36
  transaction.
• 6:38
  That
• 6:38
  is,
• 6:39
  I'll
• 6:39
  forgive
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  if
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  clear
• 6:40
  up
• 6:40
  your
• 6:40
  act,
• 6:40
  but
• 6:41
  a
• 6:41
  gift
• 6:41
  that
• 6:41
  opened
• 6:42
  up
• 6:42
  the
• 6:42
  space
• 6:42
  for
• 6:42
  something
• 6:43
  new.
• 6:44
  So
• 6:44
  here's
• 6:45
  an
• 6:45
  action
• 6:45
  tip
• 6:45
  for
• 6:45
  you
• 6:46
  this
• 6:46
  week.
• 6:46
  I
• 6:46
  want
• 6:46
  you
• 6:47
  to
• 6:47
  think
• 6:47
  about
• 6:47
  whether
• 6:47
  you're
• 6:48
  holding
• 6:48
  a
• 6:49
  stone
• 6:49
  in
• 6:49
  your
• 6:49
  own
• 6:49
  hand
• 6:50
  right
• 6:50
  now,
• 6:51
  ready
• 6:51
  to
• 6:52
  pound
• 6:52
  somebody
• 6:53
  with
• 6:53
  it.
• 6:54
  Probably
• 6:54
  not
• 6:54
  a
• 6:55
  literal
• 6:55
  one,
• 6:55
  but,
• 6:55
  I
• 6:56
  mean,
• 6:56
  is
• 6:56
  there
• 6:56
  a
• 6:56
  person
• 6:56
  or
• 6:57
  group
• 6:57
  that
• 6:57
  you
• 6:58
  have
• 6:58
  been
• 6:58
  judging?
• 6:59
  Someone
• 7:00
  you've
• 7:00
  mentally
• 7:00
  placed
• 7:01
  in
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  center
• 7:01
  of
• 7:01
  a
• 7:01
  square
• 7:02
  to
• 7:02
  humiliate?
• 7:02
  Maybe
• 7:03
  it's
• 7:03
  someone
• 7:04
  whose
• 7:04
  choices
• 7:04
  you
• 7:05
  don't
• 7:05
  understand,
• 7:05
  or
• 7:06
  someone
• 7:06
  the
• 7:07
  wider
• 7:07
  culture
• 7:08
  has
• 7:08
  made
• 7:08
  it
• 7:08
  easy
• 7:08
  to
• 7:09
  look
• 7:09
  down
• 7:09
  upon.
• 7:11
  And
• 7:11
  I
• 7:11
  want
• 7:11
  you
• 7:11
  to
• 7:11
  consciously
• 7:12
  set
• 7:12
  that
• 7:13
  stone
• 7:14
  aside.
• 7:15
  Not
• 7:15
  because
• 7:16
  that
• 7:16
  person
• 7:16
  needs
• 7:17
  your
• 7:17
  permission
• 7:17
  to
• 7:17
  be
• 7:18
  free,
• 7:19
  but
• 7:19
  because
• 7:19
  carrying
• 7:19
  that
• 7:20
  stone
• 7:20
  is
• 7:20
  doing
• 7:20
  something
• 7:20
  to
• 7:21
  you.
• 7:21
  Put
• 7:21
  it
• 7:21
  down.
• 7:22
  If
• 7:23
  you
• 7:23
  want
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  go
• 7:23
  further,
• 7:23
  replace
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  judgment
• 7:25
  with
• 7:25
  one
• 7:26
  act
• 7:26
  of
• 7:26
  genuine
• 7:27
  kindness
• 7:28
  or
• 7:28
  empathy
• 7:28
  toward
• 7:29
  that
• 7:29
  person
• 7:29
  or
• 7:29
  someone
• 7:30
  like
• 7:30
  them.
• 7:31
  We're
• 7:32
  going
• 7:32
  to
• 7:32
  pray
• 7:32
  here
• 7:32
  in
• 7:33
  just
• 7:33
  a
• 7:33
  minute.
• 7:33
  Before
• 7:33
  we
• 7:34
  do,
• 7:35
  just
• 7:35
  a
• 7:36
  reward
• 7:36
  that
• 7:36
  we
• 7:36
  have
• 7:36
  a
• 7:36
  great
• 7:37
  gift
• 7:37
  for
• 7:38
  you.
• 7:38
  It's
• 7:38
  called
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  ABC
• 7:40
  123
• 7:41
  Bible
• 7:42
  Study
• 7:42
  Guide.
• 7:43
  You
• 7:43
  pick
• 7:43
  it
• 7:43
  up
• 7:43
  at
• 7:43
  our
• 7:44
  website,
• 7:44
  Voice
• 7:44
  of
• 7:44
  God
• 7:45
  daily.
• 7:47
  Here's
• 7:47
  our
• 7:47
  prayer.
• 7:48
  God,
• 7:48
  we
• 7:48
  confess
• 7:48
  that
• 7:49
  sometimes
• 7:49
  we're
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  ones
• 7:50
  holding
• 7:51
  the
• 7:51
  stones.
• 7:52
  We
• 7:52
  don't
• 7:52
  always
• 7:52
  drag
• 7:53
  people
• 7:53
  into
• 7:53
  public
• 7:53
  squares,
• 7:54
  but
• 7:54
  we
• 7:54
  judge
• 7:54
  quietly.
• 7:55
  We
• 7:55
  whisper.
• 7:55
  We
• 7:56
  distance
• 7:56
  ourselves
• 7:57
  from
• 7:57
  people
• 7:57
  who
• 7:58
  make
• 7:58
  us
• 7:58
  uncomfortable.
• 7:59
  Forgive
• 8:00
  us
• 8:00
  from
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  times
• 8:00
  we've
• 8:01
  used
• 8:01
  your
• 8:01
  name
• 8:01
  to
• 8:02
  justify
• 8:02
  that.
• 8:03
  Thank
• 8:04
  you
• 8:04
  for
• 8:04
  Jesus
• 8:04
  who
• 8:05
  bends
• 8:05
  down
• 8:05
  in
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  dirt
• 8:05
  instead
• 8:06
  of
• 8:06
  joining
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  mob,
• 8:07
  thank
• 8:07
  you
• 8:07
  that
• 8:08
  your
• 8:08
  grace
• 8:08
  doesn't
• 8:08
  wait
• 8:09
  for
• 8:09
  us
• 8:09
  to
• 8:09
  get
• 8:09
  our
• 8:10
  lives
• 8:10
  together
• 8:10
  first.
• 8:12
  And
• 8:12
  for
• 8:12
  anyone
• 8:13
  listening
• 8:13
  today
• 8:13
  who
• 8:13
  feels
• 8:13
  like
• 8:13
  they're
• 8:14
  the
• 8:14
  ones
