What’s your story?  As you look back over your life, can you see the pattern of God’s sovereign love?  Can you see how he has relentlessly and lovingly pursued you, rescued you, forgiven you, called you, shaped you and sent you?

No one stands alone, not even the woman caught in adultery, who was brought before Jesus to be stoned (John 8). She was publically shamed by men who had no concern for true justice (where was the man involved?). Many of us once suffered a similar sense of condemnation, or maybe still do. In a congregation our size, we are bound to have those who know firsthand the shame and condemnation of sexual sin, adulterous affairs or other parts of our past that hang over us like a dark cloud.
