Jesus, Simon, and the Sinful Woman

Jan 18, 2026    Kathryn Caroland-MacConnell

In this sermon from Luke 7:36-50, a woman known for her sins crashes Simon the Pharisees dinner party and begins to wash Jesus' feet with her tears and dry them with her hair. This is a scandalous act in Jesus' time, but he reframes it to something that is loving towards him. Jesus uplifts this woman's hospitality towards him, even though she isn't the host of the party.
