Jesus and the Outcasts: The Power of His Love and Redemption

March 02, 2025

Michael Stephens, Teaching Pastor

Jesus’ interactions with the Samaritan woman, the woman caught in adultery, and the woman who anointed His feet all reveal the same truth—His mercy is greater than our shame. The Samaritan woman came to the well expecting rejection but left with a testimony that changed her whole village. The woman caught in adultery stood before her accusers, only to have Jesus silence them with grace and set her free. The woman with the alabaster jar poured out her worship, and Jesus responded with forgiveness and love. In every story, we see the same pattern—Jesus meets people where they are, breaks the weight of shame, and calls them into something greater. And He still does the same for us today. In our series, "Beloved: The Gospel According to John", we journey through the life, ministry, and divine nature of Jesus Christ as revealed in the most intimate and theological of the Gospels. Through John’s firsthand account, we witness the love of God made flesh, the miracles that point to His identity, and the deep conversations that call us into a closer relationship with Christ. This series will unpack themes of light and darkness, belief and doubt, love and sacrifice—inviting us to see Jesus not just as the Savior of the world, but as the One who personally calls us His beloved. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch
