Where Are Your Condemners?

Jun 4, 2023    Dr. Phil Willingham

This sermon focuses on the encounter between Jesus and the woman caught in adultery, as described in John 8:7-11. It highlights two important revelations: the dangers of a judgmental spirit and the forgiving heart of our Lord Jesus Christ.


The sermon begins by discussing the three abilities of Satan: to deceive, tempt, and accuse. It emphasizes the power of overcoming these abilities through the blood of the Lamb and the testimony of believers.


Moving on to the passage in John 8, the sermon explores the story of the woman caught in adultery and how the hypocritical Pharisees sought to judge and condemn her. Jesus, however, turns the tables on them by challenging them to examine their own hearts and sinfulness.


The sermon emphasizes the forgiving nature of Jesus, who pardons the woman and encourages her to leave her life of sin. It brings attention to the role of Jesus as our intercessor and Savior who saves us completely.


The sermon concludes with action points for the congregation. It urges them to confess their own tendencies toward Pharisaism, to choose a path of saving and forgiving instead of condemning, and to live in forgiveness so they can truly worship and serve Him.
