What do you do when your past follows you into the room?

In Luke 7:36–50, a woman known more for her failures than her name approaches Jesus with nothing to hide and nothing left to prove. While others see only her reputation, Jesus sees her heart. He welcomes her, defends her, and offers the forgiveness and peace she desperately needs.

Next Gen Pastor Ryan Russell continues our Pull Up a Chair series by exploring how the transforming grace of Jesus meets us in our brokenness, releases us from shame, and awakens wholehearted worship.

You do not have to clean yourself up before coming to Jesus. Whether you feel weighed down by regret, judged by others, or simply hungry for a fresh beginning, this message is an invitation to experience the love that forgives deeply, restores completely, and sends us forward in peace.
