    In this message, Apostle Gregory D. Kelley unpacks the contrasting responses of Simon the Pharisee and the woman with the alabaster box from Luke 7:36-50 (NIV). Simon approaches Jesus intellectually, seeking discussion and analysis, while the woman, known as a prostitute, offers her whole life to Jesus in an act of deep personal devotion. Simon's impersonal, detached approach highlights the difference between religion and relationship—he wants a conversation, but she desires a transformation. Her act of anointing Jesus’ feet with the alabaster jar symbolizes the surrender of her past life, seeking not just forgiveness but an intimate connection with Christ.

    The sermon challenges us to reflect on how we approach Jesus—are we seeking a distant, intellectual encounter, or do we offer Him our whole hearts in genuine relationship?
