04 - The Uninvited Guest

Opening Questions:
Before viewing the session, here are a few important things to look for in Bianca Juárez Olthoff’s teaching. As you watch, pay attention to the following questions.
How was Jesus treated by his host?
Why were the woman’s actions so shocking?
When faced with someone else’s sin, what question should we ask ourselves first?
Deeper Walk:
Reflect: Spend time thinking about the forgiveness you’ve received from God. Whatever your story, his love is greater than your sin. How have you responded to his grace? In what ways might you need to humble yourself to him again and confess your need for him?
Host: Prepare and host a small gathering, perhaps using the soup and sandwich recipe from today’s session. As a small sign of grace, prepare a small gift to send home with everyone. Perhaps print a recipe card, or purchase a set of small decorative kitchen towels, or bake an extra loaf of bread for everyone. Nothing fancy—just a little something extra to say “thanks for coming.”
Serve: Find an opportunity to serve tangible needs in your community. Spend time “washing the feet” of those in humbler circumstances.
Pray: Ask God to help you identify the ways in which he has forgiven you and specific ways you can reach out to forgive those who’ve hurt you or bless those who are hurting.
