Lesson 417: The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 8:1-11)
Those who see sinners simply as people to be condemned and used are as guilty as those they condemn. Like Jesus, we should not excuse sin, but we should act with love and compassion toward those who need His forgiveness. An incident in John 8 highlights this perspective.

Lesson 415: Admiring Jesus or Following Jesus? (Matthew 8:19-22; Luke 9:57-62)
Jesus Christ is Lord. If we fail to follow Him, it is not because He has given us no reason to do so but simply because we place our own desires ahead of Him.

At times we see great potential in Jesus’ disciples, but we also frequently see a lack of understanding, faith, and power.
