Where do I begin? It's hard to find the words to give you the glory and praise you deserve. The path you chose for me was hard to understand. But I'm seeing how faithful you've been. Jesus, you've always been faithful to me. There's never been a time you failed to meet my needs. sorrow my heart still can see you always been faithful to me looking back I had a wondered how I see clearly my help all came from you. Through all of my questions, you strengthened my faith. Jesus, I give you the praise. Jesus, you've always been faithful to me. There's never been a time you've failed to meet my needs. In joy or in sorrow, my heart still can sing. In joy or in sorrow My heart still can sing You've always been faithful to me In joy or in sorrow My hope for tomorrow I've seen I have seen those in the ghetto With a bottle in their hand And I know this could be me I could be in that same place But I'm washed and redeemed of mercy, yet I'm free and safe. Unworthy of royal blood that flows through my veins. If not for Calvary, where would I be today? For I was blind, now I see. Nothing good have I done to deserve this grace I found. For I was lost as I had been, but then His hand reached way down. Where was I had nothing I needed. God, for His grace that saved a wretch like me. I'm unworthy of mercy, yet I'm free and safe. Unworthy of royal blood that flows through my veins. but now I see I thank God for grace grace, grace God's grace, grace I see The Lord is so good. The Lord is so good. We've not been through a lot of things, but we've been through enough to know that he's always faithful. He's never let us down one time. Never, not one time. Never will. Never will. You know the best life, best life you could ever live is living for Jesus. And I'm not very old. I'm not very old, but I've tried my best to live for the Lord. I don't have any regrets. I don't have any regrets. And I think it's alright for a young person to say that living for Jesus is the best life they could ever live. Thank God for His goodness. And you think about, I was listening to a song today coming down the road, matter of fact, on the way to church tonight. And it's that song about no more night. There's a little phrase in there that really just got me all excited. A little phrase in the second verse says, it's not a dream. God will make all things new one day. And it's not a dream tonight. I feel like I'm living the dream, but it's not a dream. I'm thankful that it's real. I'm thankful that this is real. I'm thankful that God is real. I'm glad that He's real in this room tonight, real in our hearts. Luke chapter number seven, if you would, and I just want to echo the sentiments of my brother from last night. We love your pastor and his family, and we love this church, we love you all. We look forward to every chance that we get to be with you. You all treat us like royalty much better than we deserve, but we thank you so much for everything you've done. Food is always so good, and what happens is I always get this thought about going on a diet right around after Thanksgiving. Then I come here and I just leaves and then I don't get around to it again until next Thanksgiving. I'm like, then I go back to Friendship Baptist Church and that's just a big cycle and we're not doing very good on the diet thing. So Luke chapter number seven. Let's stand together if you found your place. Verse number 36. I've never preached this message in its entirety before. I've done an abbreviated version one time, and so I have no idea how long this message is. So we're gonna find out together tonight. I'm just kidding. I won't be too long. All right, verse number 36. And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and sat down to meet. And behold, a woman in that city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus was at meet in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind him, weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, he would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, for she is a sinner. Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he said, Master, say on. There was a certain creditor which had two debtors. The one owed five hundred pence and the other fifty. When they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? Simon answered and said, I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast judged rightly judged. He turned to the woman and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet, but she hath washed my feet with tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss, but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins which are many are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. He said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? And he said unto the woman, Thy faith has saved thee. Go in peace. Father, we come before you tonight, Lord, thankful once again for another opportunity, Lord, to be in your house. Well, thank you for being with us tonight in the service and meeting and, Lord, just stirring our hearts about the things of God and, Lord, being thankful for what you have done for us. So many things that we take for granted, but, Lord, you just meet our needs every day. Lord, you've been better to us than we could ever deserve and ever repay. Father, I pray that for a few moments tonight you would help me as I preach and, Lord, bring to mind the things that we've studied. Lord, help calm my nerves. Lord, I'm nervous tonight. Lord, I need you in a desperate way. Lord, we'll just be careful to give you the praise and honor and glory for everything that you do. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. You can be seated. Thank you so much for standing. I know I read a lengthy portion, but thank you so much for standing. The story we find in our text is recorded only by Luke. These events are exclusive to his gospel. In this text, we identify that there are three main characters in the story. There is a sinner. We find the word sinner twice in our story, the verses that we read in both times. It is in connection with this unnamed woman. The sinner makes her way to Jesus, the best place a sinner could ever go, and Jesus receives her as He does all sinners that come to Him. And why not? Because He is a friend of publicans and sinners. The Bible tells us that, when they drew near unto Him all the publicans and sinners for to hear Him, that the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. There is a sinner, there is a scorner, there is a Pharisee by the name of Simon. Luke writes often about the hostility shown by the Pharisees toward Christ. In fact, he mentions them 28 times in his Gospel. Always in opposition to the work and the teaching and preaching of the Lord Jesus Christ. No group of men were more consistently stood in opposition to Jesus than the Pharisees did. This group of arrogant, critical, and self-righteous men were a constant thorn in the side of the Lord Jesus Christ and His earthly ministry. We also identify the Savior. Surely Christ knew He was entering a hostile environment when He walked into the house of Simon. But the same love that caused Jesus to receive that sinner woman is the same love that caused Him to enter the house of this scorner man. The Bible tells us in Luke chapter number 19, after He saved Zacchaeus in his house, that the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. It seems that Simon could not identify his own need. Simon had a need to be sought and saved just like this woman did. Christ came for Simon just as much as he came for the sinner. Christ cared for Simon just as much as he cared for the sinner. But maybe it slipped Simon's mind that he was just as condemned as this sinner was condemned. Let me give you three brief observations by way of introduction, and then we'll get into the message tonight. I have a large introduction and a tiny message. A big porch and a little house, alright? Number one, I'd like to say this, that the sinner gives us an example of humility. Notice her description. We've already mentioned it before, but the Bible, the Scripture describes her as a sinner in verse number 37. Behold, a woman in that city which was a sinner. Clearly this woman had a testimony in the community of a wicked and sinful lifestyle. The fact that she is despised is seen just by the reaction and response of those that are sitting at this meal. She is an outcast. She is unwelcome and she is unwanted. Simon defines her as a sinner in verse 39. He says, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman it is that toucheth him, for she is a sinner. Notice Simon's language, what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, he says. You can almost hear the disgust in his voice as he thinks in his heart, this woman is a sinner. Simon's contempt for her, It would seem that Simon would almost put her in the same category as those that are afflicted with leprosy. He would have her cast out. He would have her excommunicated. He would have her vacated from the property. She is not even worthy to touch those who are so righteous. But then the Savior defends her as a sinner. You see, the Bible says in verse number 47, I say unto thee, her sins which are many are forgiven. The scripture makes an interesting distinction about this sinner woman. It says, Behold a woman in that city which was a sinner. She was a sinner, but she is not what she used to be. She was a sinner in the past, but Jesus makes it very clear the sins that she did have have now been forgiven her. Thank God for the day when Jesus came by and washed our sins away. He said, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he's a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. He said, Come now, let us reason together. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Aren't you thankful for the day that Jesus came by and washed your sins away? The sins that you had, the sins that I had, which were many, are forgiven. Then notice her devotion. Her weeping is seen in verse 38. The Bible says that she stood behind him weeping. Her silent tears communicate what her heart was saying. She weeps because she has been convicted of her sin. She weeps because she has repented of her sin. She weeps because her heart overflows with love for the man that has forgiven and cleansed her of her sin. If you read the harmony of the Gospels, you'll find that just before this event in Luke chapter number 7, Jesus makes a gracious invitation that's recorded in Matthew chapter number 11. This is what He says, Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Could it be that this sinner woman had heard that invitation to come and had cast herself upon the mercy and the good grace of God and turned her from her sin and trusted the Lord Jesus Christ? Come unto me, that is the call today. The Bible says, And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely. Her tears bear witness of the deep love and devotion that she had for the Savior. Her washing in verse number 38, the Bible says that she had to wash his feet with tears, to wipe them with the hairs of her head. She bowed at the Savior's feet and washed them. There's not a task more lowly than to wash the feet of another. In this culture, touching another person's feet is a sign of full submission and humility. The Bible says in Psalm 84 and verse 10, I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. This humility and service that this woman is participating in is an act of love that she is giving to the Savior. The statement that she makes in 1 Corinthians 11, the Bible talks about that if a woman has long hair, it is a glory for her. Her hair is given for her a covering, and this act that she is doing, this thing that she's doing for the Lord out of a heart of love, this is not a calculated thing. This is not a restrained gesture. This is vulnerable. This is unguarded. She has surrendered her own glory to give glory to Christ. She has traded her honor to give honor to Christ as she unbinds that hair and lets it fall and uses it to wipe the tears that have fallen upon the feet of her loving Savior. She is saying, I love you and this man has changed my life. It's true worship. Worship will cost you something. The Bible says that this woman, she anointed him with that alabaster box of ointment and kissed his feet and anointed him with that ointment. Historians agree that this alabaster box of ointment would have cost a person about a year's wages. A similar act is done by Mary in John chapter 12, and that was valued at 300 pence. True worship will cost you something. This woman was willing to give up what little bit of honor and glory she had left, and she gave it to the Lord Jesus Christ. You know, it's true that real worship will cost you something. It's true that real worship may cost you financially, but it's also true that true worship will cost you physically. The Bible says that we've been bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God's. Worship is not just an emotional thing. Worship is not just a financial thing. But God requires, He bought and paid for our physical body. Our hands are not ours to do with as we please. Our eyes are not ours to look upon what we want to look upon. Our feet are not ours to go where we want to go. Our mind is not ours to think what we want to think. All of those things belong to God. He has bought and paid for all of those things. We are called to surrender ourselves. The sinner gives us an example of humility, but then there's a scorner that gives us an example of hypocrisy. Simon's an interesting character. Notice his assumption. You see, Simon makes a couple assumptions about Jesus in this text that are really interesting to me. In verse number 39, this is what Simon says. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, for she is a sinner. The first assumption that Simon makes is that Jesus does not know that this woman is a sinner. And the second assumption that Simon makes is that Jesus doesn't know what he's thinking right now. The basis of these assumptions is that Simon thought he knew more than Jesus did. Not only his assumption, but notice his arrogance. It's seen in the way that he treated this sinner. We've already mentioned Simon's contempt for this woman that is washing the feet of Jesus, and we are given a glimpse into the mind of the Pharisee in verse number 39. She is a sinner, he said. He says in his self-righteous heart, his language betrays his hatred for this manner of woman. She is offered no welcome. He offers her no meat. She is given no place at the table. Simon sees himself as superior to this sinner woman. This woman is not as deserving of Jesus' company as Simon is. This woman is not as deserving as a welcome as Simon is. His attitude bears a striking resemblance to the Pharisee whose prayer is recorded in Luke chapter 18, where the Bible says, he prayed, I thank thee God that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. The Bible tells us of this arrogant Pharisee, and Simon seems to reflect that same attitude of hatred toward this sinner woman. But there's also, we'll deal with a little bit more of this in the message, but there's also the way that he treated the Savior. Jesus noted how Simon made no attempt to extend to him the common courtesy that a host would generally offer his guest. I took this from a book called Man, I can't remember the name of the book now. Whatever it is, it's a study book and it's good. Matters and Customs, excuse me. Because leather sandals were the only foot covering people wore, it was the courteous thing upon arrival of guests for a servant to wash their feet or to offer them water that they might do it themselves. This was done because at mealtime they would sit around a low table, lying on their side, propped up on their left elbow, with their knees bent and their feet behind them. It was unsanitary to dine with unwashed hands or feet. And yet Simon denied Christ the most basic of courtesies. It is clear that Simon extends this invitation to Jesus to come dine with him, not because he really cares about Jesus, but he wants to find a way to discredit Jesus. Finally notice his assessment. The Bible tells us in verse 39 that there's a little phrase that Simon makes. This man, if he were a prophet. Now this idea that Simon gets about Jesus being a prophet is not necessarily original by him. In fact, earlier in the chapter they say they call him, they call Jesus in verse number 16, they call him a prophet. Simon seemed to derive some level of satisfaction from the fact that he didn't think Jesus knew who he was dealing with. It seemed to him that he had exposed Jesus as a fraud. He had plenty of Pharisee friends who would have been thrilled with him for exposing Jesus as a would-be prophet. But little did he know that it was Jesus who was about to expose him. First we find the sinner gives us an example of humility, the scorner gives us an example of hypocrisy, but the Savior's about to give us an example of honesty. He's about to shed a little bit of light on the situation. The Bible says in verse number 40, we read it a moment ago, Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. It is at this moment that Simon should have realized that he was in trouble. You remember that Simon had made assumptions about Jesus and the basis of those assumptions was that Simon thought he knew more than Jesus did. But the problem with that assumption is that Jesus didn't just know more than Simon did, Jesus knew everything. Jesus knew all things. The disciples declared in John chapter 16 that, now they were sure, now we are sure the Bible says that thou knowest all things. Peter said in John 21, Lord, thou knowest all things. In Mark chapter 2, gives that account, it says, immediately Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned with him themselves. You cannot hide from the Lord. He hears the words that you speak, and he sees the thoughts that you think, and as much as Simon thought he knew, Jesus knew more. Jesus knew all, and Jesus will reveal all. He will expose what is in Simon's heart, and he will also expose what's in the heart of this sinner. We heard it last night, you cannot hide from the eyes of God. The Bible says that the eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. The psalmist said, O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me, for there is not a word in my tongue, but lo, O Lord, thou knowest it all together. So Jesus is about to get real honest with these people. And tonight I just want to preach on this thought for a few minutes. I'm going to be real short. I'm preaching on this thought, forgotten forgiveness. Notice the first thing that Jesus does. Number one, Jesus delivers a parable. Verses number 41 through 42. It's a very short parable. Let's read it again. There was a certain creditor which had two debtors. The one owed 500 pence and the other 50. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? We understand this to be a parable because it does not contain any names. He uses the terms like a certain creditor and two debtors. There are no specifics given about these men. This parable is not even really about the men, but the focus that the parable is on is about the debt that they owed. It was not about the men, but it was about the debt. You see, it's a formidable debt. The Bible says that one man owed 500 pence and then another man owed 50 pence. Pence comes from the Latin word denarius. It was translated in its singular form as the word penny, and its plural form as the word pence. A penny was a day's wages. You may remember the parable in Matthew chapter 20 about the householder that went into the marketplace and hired laborers to work in his vineyard for a penny for a day. So one man owed almost two months to a creditor. And then another man owed almost two years to a creditor. But it is not the load that made them debtors. It's not about the fact that one man had 500 pence and the other man owed 50 pence. This is what the real focus about this is in verse 42. The Bible says, and when they had nothing, to pay. You see, it doesn't matter who owed more because the truth is neither one of them had a dime to pay for the debt that they owed. When you don't have anything to pay, you're in real trouble. It don't matter if you owe a dollar or you owe $10,000. When you've got nothing to pay, you've got nothing to pay. And you are in debt. They both owed a debt that they could not pay. It didn't matter that one was 500 and one was 50. It mattered that they had nothing to pay. But notice that it is a forgiven debt. Verse 42, he said, when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. I like that word frankly, it means graciously or freely. You see, when they had nothing to pay, the creditor said, you are forgiven. Now, for these men to go free, the creditor would have to take upon himself the loss of the debt. He must take upon himself the debt that he did not owe, because they owed a debt that they could not pay. This was a no-strings-attached kind of forgiveness. This was a no repayment necessary kind of forgiveness. This was a not by works of righteousness which you have done, but according to my mercy kind of forgiveness. This was a not of works lest any man should boast kind of forgiveness. This was a you are justified freely by my grace kind of forgiveness. And that's just what Jesus did for you. And it's just what Jesus did for me. He took upon Himself a debt that He did not owe. Because I owed a debt that I could not pay. I needed someone to wash my sins away. And Jesus came and He became sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. He said, your debt's been erased, you have received grace, and you are free from the penalty of an unpaid debt. You're forgiven, you're forgiven. You don't owe anything else, you're forgiven. It's a forgiven debt. But this is what's so sad. It's a forgotten debt. He said, which of them will love him most? Now this is a staggering question to me. Because since both of them had nothing to pay, wouldn't you expect that they would have both loved him the same? Because neither one of them could pay. And it seems that there's one that assumed that because his debt was not as bad as the other man's debt, that he had a right to love less. Jesus delivers a parable. Then Jesus draws a parallel. You see, there's a revelation about what is in the heart of Simon. Jesus begins to expose Simon. Remember, we talked about his assumptions that he made and how he assumed, well, this Jesus, if he were a prophet, but Jesus is going to show that Simon's sin goes a lot deeper than maybe he thought it did. He said, Simon, you've given me no washing. He said, Simon, in verse number 44, see this woman, I entered into thine house, thou gave me no water for my feet. Simon, you've done nothing to serve me. You've not tried to prove your love for me. You have failed to even offer me the most common courtesy of a decent host. gave him no welcome. Verse 45, Thou gavest me no kiss. He said there are two forms of the kiss used as a greeting or welcome for a guest. There was a kiss on the beard or cheek, a sign of respect or friendship, and then there was a kiss to the hand or to the feet, and that was a sign of deep submission or reverence. Simon, you've not welcomed me with a kiss. You see, this is more than just forgetfulness on Simon's part. It signaled a lack of warmth, honor, and affection in this culture. It was an insult. It was as if Simon said, you're not worthy of my respect. He said, you didn't welcome me. You didn't wash me. You didn't worship me. My head with oil, thou didst not anoint. But this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Simon had not anointed his head with oil. as was the custom, for with an honored guest. But clearly Simon did not bring Jesus here to honor him. Simon, you've not worshipped me, you've not praised me the way this woman has. There's a revelation about what is in the heart of Simon. There's a commendation about what's in the heart of this sinner. Jesus begins to go in and list what this woman has done. He said, I say unto thee her sins which are many are forgiven her, verse 47, for she loved much. Jesus describes her acts of service in contrast to Simon's lack of service. He says in verse 44, She hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. And she, verse 45, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. Verse 46, This woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Her actions revealed the affections of her heart. You see, we can serve without loving. But we cannot love without serving. And this woman is showing her love for her Master and showing the love for this Savior that has saved her and forgiven her of her sins by washing His feet and kissing His feet and anointing Him with ointment. She loved much. You know, Jesus makes an interesting distinction about that in verse number 50. He says, Thy faith has saved thee, go in peace. If you didn't have that in there, it almost seemed like the reason that her sins were forgiven was because she loved a lot. But Jesus makes it abundantly clear that it is not about how much love she showed, it was about her faith that was put in the Lord Jesus Christ. But because of her faith, her faith activated a love for the Savior that she could not help but show. She could not help but express that love for the Savior. The songwriter penned it so well when he said, More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee. Hear Thou this prayer I make on bended knee. This is my earnest plea. More love, O Christ, to Thee. More love to Thee, more love. This must be our highest aim. More love to Him. We don't know many things about this woman. We don't know many things about what she is, who she is, what sin she committed. But we know one thing. We know one thing. Jesus said she loved much. She loved much. He delivers a parable. He draws a parallel. Finally, I'm done. He develops the point. Why are you going through all this, Brother Sam? What does all this have to do with Simon and the sinner and the Savior? What's all this? Simon thought that he would expose Christ as a so-called prophet. But it is Christ that has exposed him as a self-proclaimed saint. He does this by revealing Simon's perception of sinfulness. Jesus reveals that Simon was blind to his own spiritual need. You see, it was easy for Simon to say that she is a sinner, but it was impossible for Simon to say that I am a sinner. Jesus proved that he was a prophet and more than a prophet by reading the thoughts of Simon. Remember, this parable did not focus about on the amount of debt, but rather the awareness of the debt. How much sin do you have to commit to be a sinner? Well, the Bible says that whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all The Bible says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. He says if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. He says but we are all as unclean things and all of our righteousness are as filthy rags. There is not a single one of us that's not guilty of putting Christ on the cross because of our sin, it was our sin that hung Jesus upon the cross. He said he was wounded for our transgression, he was bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace is upon him, and with his stripes we are healed. Oh, we like sheep! All we like sheep have gone astray. We've turned everyone to his own way. And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. for he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered for our offenses and was raised again for our justification. Our churches are full of people just like Simon. They've forgotten where God's brought them from. They've forgotten the pit that God dug them out of. They have never considered where they would be had it not been for the cross of Calvary. I was a church kid, brother, just like you, sitting on a church pew, playing the game, acting like I was okay, because my dad was a preacher, and my granddad was a preacher. But the same grace it took to save the drunk off the barstool is the same grace it took to save a sinner off a church pew. And I thank God for the day that He saved me. But if I'm not careful sometimes, I'll get the idea that my debt isn't as bad as those people out there. And somehow I'm more worthy of Jesus' presence. And somehow I'm more worthy of His power. But I'm going to tell you something, just like the pothead, just like the drunk, just like any person out in the world tonight, I had nothing to pay. I couldn't pay my way into heaven. I owed a debt that I couldn't pay. I had nothing. All my righteousness was ragged just like yours is tonight. I'm telling you it would do us a whole lot of good if we take a peek down in the pit that God dug us out of. The psalmist said he brought me up also out of a horrible pit and he set my feet upon a rock. And He established my goings. That word horrible means crash, uproar, a noise, a tumult, the roar of waves, the noise of an invading host, the crash or clash of a battle. The word picture is of something that is so overwhelming that it cannot be overcome. But God reached down. Hallelujah! God reached down to where I was when I could not go to where He was. He came to me tonight and He came to you. But sometimes, sometimes we forget about our forgiveness. Sometimes we forget, sometimes we forget that we had nothing to pay. You know what will happen to you if you remember that you had nothing to pay, it'll revolutionize your walk with God. It will renew a hunger in your soul to pursue and please the Lord like you haven't felt since you got saved. It'll resurrect your worship regardless of the circumstances that you're going through. You've always got something to praise God for. And it'll revitalize your witness. We all live, we will live with eternity on our mind when we consider how much God's done for us. In this season of Thanksgiving, why don't we purpose to love a little more? He's been so good to us. Preachers talking about tonight, my mind was going just how good God's been to me and my family. Got a good wife. Got a little baby back there. I'm preaching revival with my brothers. We sing together. None of that would have been possible if it weren't for Jesus. May it never be said that we love little. May it never be said that we love little. We all love much. We all love much. You know why? Because we had nothing to pay. We had nothing to pay. But He paid it all. Lord, we love You tonight. Thank You for Your Word. Lord, thank You for being so good to us. Lord, help us to love You better. Help us to love You more. In Jesus' name, Amen.
