There is a challenge we face in our world today, which is identifying sin. Unfortunately much of the world has found a way to condone, ignore, or whitewash sin.Our lesson today examines the story of a “sinful woman” and her encounter with Jesus. We will see how identifying sin will allow us to be freed from its oppression as we learn to lay it at the feet of Jesus to receive forgiveness.
“Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
– 1 Corinthians 1:31
