Announcements

Because God was displeased with the actions of David concerning Uriah’s death in order to marry Bathsheba, God sent Nathan to reprimand David. Nathan reminds David that God anointed him King of Israel and victor over Saul. David realizes his sin against God, but Nathan continues to reveal to David that the child to be born to him shall die.

Paul writes of the struggles between Gentiles and Jews who both now profess belief in Christ Jesus. Paul proclaims his life in Christ, working towards unity and faith in the Son of God.

While Jesus was dining at the home of a Pharisee, a woman of the city who was a sinner came and anointed his feet with oil. Weeping, her tears fell upon Jesus’ feet and she dried them with her hair. Because of the woman’s respect and love, Jesus forgives her sins. This causes those present at the table to question who he is.
