The new listeners welcome to the sound of faith. I'm sure not thanking you for joining us today because we know Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Our message today gospel game changer for women chronicles the revolutionary changes Jesus made his ministry to dealings with women. He not only recognize their unique devotion. He elevated them to equality with men in gospel game changer for women now speaking of adultery. John chapter, teaching, and they brought him a woman and they really made it clear this woman was caught in the act, knowing that she said caught in the act of adultery. Now they said Moses said she should be stoned what you say. They were hoping to Jesus again because the Jesus went against what Moses said the keys against Moses. Amen. And so they did know what he was going to do anything about.

Jesus is, he didn't even mention the chapter 1 men were to be put to death why you bring the being there. He wasn't going to get them with war of words, instead he said you're right, go for whoever amongst you is without sin cast the first stone and he knelt down and began to write in the dirt.

How I wish the body would've taken notes that day. I would've written down what he wrote in the dirt. We don't know we have all kinds of assumptions and presumptions like the one allowed preacher say he probably started writing down their sins because he said whoever is without sin cast the first down. And here's what I like about it.

Each one of them began to walk out one time one time from the eldest to the youngest I don't know what it means but I was all I can tell you is down unless he wrote down the sin of the oldest in the next one in the next one and as he wrote down their sins, or something about them.

We don't know you might wrote their names down for all we know, we don't know what it was but whatever it was. The Bible says convicted by their own conscience. They left one by one, the eldest to the youngest and then Jesus turned to the woman, and he said under her. Where are your accusers is no man condemned the and she said no landlord and Jesus said neither do I condemn the now I've got to be fair to the Scriptures.

A lot of people stop right here a lot of people that are caught in sin and are trying to make delighted that Jake and you people you to Dr. Kasten and Jesus said if you you Kasten you know your center and he said I don't condemn you but listen when he also said go thy way, and sin no more.

He did not downplay her whitewash person, Jesus will never whitewash he forgets he washes it in the blood. Amen. So he did not condemn her, but he told her to go your way, and sin no more. He warned her love and you know I believe with all my heart that that woman never fell and that's an again I do not think he ever ever repeated that I just don't believe it. You, so we see that how Jesus treated women even when they were falling women. Now we learn that they were not allowed to give a testimony even if they were an eyewitness John the 20 chapter what is absolutely the greatest, most vital, most important eyewitness account that was ever to be given in the story, the resurrection of Jesus Christ and Jesus appeared to she was because she wanted to live in the water, seated and given that the Jewish people really really respect the dead. Amen.

They treat the dead body. Why, because they know the Scripture, that we are made in God's image, you will never see that you do cremation because they believe the body is made in the image of God. They treated with respect and that's why they had like 100 pounds of spices and oils and ointments they put on and wrap them in the fine white linen because they're treating with and so she wanted to be able to do that for her Lord and she saw the gardener and he says why are you weeping woman he sees as well. I can't find my Lord, if you just tell me what you latest body, said Mary and she recognizes who he was grabbed hold and he said Mary don't hold me back when you touch me not, don't touch me it meant to be the Greek means to me why my father was a business that you will on his way up and made himself to Mary and told the disciples that you have seen the Lord don't tell them that I'm raising him ascending on the my father a woman be the witnessing of the eyewitness story and told her to go back and I can imagine what the disciples must've thought when she came and said the Lord, Lord, and I'm sure that she was credible because I need number one, Mary Magdalene went with Jesus and the disciples everywhere. She was a woman of means and had money. She was one the ones that help the finance ministry they had eaten things like that they needed some money and said she with other women that had money was part of Jesus financiers and they knew she was credible, but I cannot do everything I want before you. I women say. So you see, Jesus was ripping down one by one.

All were against women. Amen some of your senses to share the very self-serving message. I'm giving you the word amen. Now what about the very first woman evangelist me when he can be evangelist. Amen. I'm not going there because the very long story, but you know the story of John, Jesus, was traveling with the disciples he went out of his way to go to Samaria. It was not the direct route that he needed to go to get where he needed to go. He went out of his way to pass through Samaria. Why would he do that.

The Samaritans were hostile.

They were hostile to the Jews. That was a great enmity between the chewable and the Jews had absolutely nothing to do with the Samaritans. In fact, they despise them, and they call them dull. Remember that prayer. Thank God I'm not at all, thank God I'm not a Gentile visit. Thank God I'm not a Samaritan. Amen.

Jesus went to Samaria on purpose. I got there around lunchtime and it's when is the hottest time of the warmest on the sons right overhead and so usually no one would go to the well at that time to get water rights to you wake early early morning or in the evening when it's not so good luck water back but this woman came at the worst time, why should you want to bump into the rest of the women because they didn't like her. Why, because she was the town prostitute and Jesus got there at lunchtime and they had no food in Jesus was hungry and tired. The disciples are left going to count to get to Jesus was there alone when God wants to do something he orchestrates all the events when God opens a door to you it's very obvious. Don't miss so here comes this woman. She should not of been there, but she came in she is getting water and Jesus being thirsty for something to drink. Amen. And she was like shot only shocked number one we know that Rabbi would not speak to a woman anyway. Wife or his sister or his daughter and not only that she was a prostitute and knowing that she was an I mean he just tore down all the And so he said to her, if you knew who I you would ask me for a drink of water and you a drink of living water that if you drink of the water.

I give you, you will never ever thirst again and we know that they went to this whole theological discourse first emotional when you have a cup the give and get water with and my wells but here since the day of shakeup and we come in for this well all the time, but we have to keep we can see what could you possibly have.

Amen. So he began to preach the gospel to her and he says you know woman, why don't you go get your husband and tell him to come bring your husband here.

I'll give him some water to and she said I have no husband. He said you have spoken truth you have already had five husbands and the manager living with right now is not your husband. Amen. And so she said well I perceive your profit.

I think I think the same thing.

Amen. So she got very nervous under conviction they try to start changing the subject. So that's what she did worship because you Jews say that was both worship in Jerusalem and the Samaritan things was worship here in Samaria. He bought her right back to the point. He says woman. That time will come in now is when they worship God must worship him in. And in truth. The father is seeking those who will worship him in spirit and in truth basically told her. Woman worship is not about where it's about who amen. It's a relationship with God Almighty and she was so impressed she said wow I know Tom going to tell us all these things and it really explained to us and Jesus said to her, a woman, a prostitute, a Samaritan wanting to one Jewish leader what he never said any of the others. When speaking to the no one told her what he never told others the barrier of race, religion, and she was blown away.

It was totally transparent with her and told her this woman who had a sinful life the many many years had five husbands, and now living with someone that I am telling you that if you will drink of the water.

I give you your not thirsty again.

He was telling this woman. I know that you are thirsting. Another words he was saying to her.

I know that you're looking for love, but you're looking in all the wrong places.

Not all these men and not the sexual pleasures not know.

I do not know you are you play that game that you come here at 12 o'clock because you don't run into the women.

Jesus was telling you that I can transform your life, and at that very instant while he's in the middle saying all this disciples come back and when they saw him speaking to that woman. The Bible says they were on a for all of the reasons I already neighbored earlier they were unmade but not what are you talking to that woman but not an came in to get the food to the town and the Scripture is Marion soon went into the not see why it worked very well and good morning. Amen this is not the Messiah, Jesus is the only person who can tell you all about you and you will you not the only one that can make you go… Feel that you will is the only message that I can do big.

The paper gives you the one change you. These men were so impressed with this woman that was so impressed with her testimony when amen. They were so impressed that they are not something that wouldn't ordinarily populate her to where Jesus was the well was outside of the town and when they got there they heard the word of Jesus and the Scripture says, many believed on Jesus for the testimony of the woman which testified he told me all that ever I did tell everybody I don't care who you are.

If you are a brand-new Christian young person. There is no greater message to tell what Jesus has done for you what she you you the Bible.

Well, you just start off with what she had just witnessed.

I was still saying your Jesus about a woman to be a witness of the resurrection Jesus allows a woman to be an evangelist and because of that, you know that they persuaded Jesus and he stated that city for two extra day preaching the gospel to them. They had a run Bible in Samaria, and a place where there was not even any kind of relationship between Jews and Samaritans and run by because Jesus tore down the barriers and preach the gospel to all woman who was of ill repute. Amen. Now we said rabbis were men in general were not allowed to have women touch them. Now this is one that we all know well the story Mark five. There was a woman who had an issue of blood. It basically me that she had a discharge of blood from her body know what her condition was we don't know what the really sad terrible thing was about that now that she's offered physically.

Her body which meant she probably had to be very weak. This woman could have never gotten married. If you read the Scripture people car widow.

She was not went out as a woman.

The fact that she probably never got married and I say this because under the law.

During the time when a woman had her cycle. She could not get around people. She was considered unclean. During that time. In fact, when the cycle was ended anywhere she had sat a chair anything had to be washed and so anything woman was in her cycle. She could not be around when this meant, this woman had a very lonely life. She would have been depressed because of the fact that you had to deal with all the time you get no energy. She would like she was like something given to every doctor he could find and spent all her money and now we can get better but not worse. But she heard about Jesus, and she said within herself. I just touch the hem of his garment.

I know that I will be made whole. Now that's what she put her faith going. That's what she believed in Jesus met her at the point of her faith. Her plan was I got to touch the hem of his garment, so apparently she had to get down on her hands and knees because the Bible is clear that there was a great wrong.

There was a crowd a lot of people around her. She had to press her way to get near Jesus probably getting an pushing away legs and feet and all that and try not to get scrambled going and she touched the hem of his garment and in the she found herself that that was just like I stopped. I think she felt that a woman can feel like she knows instantaneously.

She was healed thing about things moment that she felt that her body. Jesus found something that made the disciples that around here watching you pushing you what Jesus said, I felt healing virtue will be C.J.discharge unclean at that point I purification process.

The 24 hour process to clean yourself up because he see that he was supposed but what Jesus just forgot all the barriers like you again for taking time to review car review.

See, when Jesus went and paid marketing plan changes change our amen.

Speaking of touching Jesus. Jesus allowed to other women to touch him, and even more so in a more intimate, fasting, and by that I mean women touch his speech ain't been with their feet with her hair. I'm going to Jesus was anointed to times by two different women and what happens is people take the facts from this one back from that. When he told me will then and come up with a new version that's not true to either one of them now. It's not like it's heresy false doctrine. Most people think that there's one in the same. I want you to see that there two different episodes, so this 1 Is Taking Pl. in Galilee Is Taking Pl. in Paris. See his name is not given just sat and Jesus went to the house of the Pharisee while he's in there having dinner at this Pharisee's house here comes a woman.

Her name is not given her identity is not given in this is where people start making their mistake and automating the woman columns and kneels down at Jesus feet and began to wash his feet with her tears as she is crying profusely, taking her hair to dry his feet and she brought an alabaster box which is like the type of a marble filled with an appointment and she broke it open, it would had a beautiful fragrance as soon as she broke it open. The perfume would've come out filled the air and she anointed Jesus head with this. I want you to see that Jesus sat there and did not protest did not say what are you doing woman did not get up and moving say excuse me ASAP. There her anoint his head, washed his feet with her tears with her hair and more personal and earthy thought in his head. This is what he thought if he were really a prophet what you know who this woman is and what kind of woman she is that she is face.

In fact, she was a harlot he is in his self righteous judge mental head in his mind.

But Jesus can read your thoughts.

She heard what he thought Jesus said to the Pharisee, something I like to say he said say: Lord, and then Jesus proceeded to get in a very simple parable.

He said there was instance where there were two debtors. They were both in debt to the same creditor but one of the creditor 500 pence, and one only owed the creditor £0.50. But the fact is neither one could pay the bill so we want to pay the debt so your forget about stamp them though paid in full off the hook now you think would have loved him most, and the Pharisee answered and said well I suppose the one he confirmed the most. And Jesus said you had judge slightly when I came into your house. You did not kiss me how many know that it's the custom in the Middle East they kiss on both cheeks. It's just that custom. You just do that.

It is like our handshake is there kiss on the cheek and kissed me and you did not wash my feet was mostly all the hospitality that you would do for a visitor in your sidewalks and asphalt road. Dusty street and they wore sandals with plain and what when you came in for someone to be was raised would wash the feet of the visitor. This was a common courtesy. He said that you didn't wash my feet and you didn't anoint my head but woman said, here she walks knowing that the she was right you are you back yesterday, but her income even doing that she was coming with the motivation of Jesus on any woman way.

Amen.

Because she does not love a eye-opening message gospel game changer for women. God created male and female in his image with the quality and dominion in the earth when they said the rules of engagement changed and part of each judgment was subordination to her husband. God also revealed that her seat would crush the serpent's head at this Satan launched an attack against women as maltreatment of women escalated over the centuries but when the seed Messiah came, he changed the rules of engagement again.

Jesus was the game changer who broke down barriers of race, gender and cultural classes. The gospel is the great emancipator elevating women to the same level as men. This teaching walks you through the centuries since the Garden of Eden to the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit empowered God's sons and daughters for his divine service in the gospel.
