Introduction: In the mirror of His word Reflections that I see Makes me wonder why He never gave us up on me But He loves me as I am and helps me when I pray Remember He’s the potter, I’m the clay He knows everything, and still He comes close and never gives up on us. The Meat: John 8:1-11 (ESV) The Truth: Point 1 - God Sees Us as We Are Stop hiding from God. You can’t shock Him. Point 2 - God Stands Between Us and Our Accusers Let His voice drown out your inner critic. Point 3 - God Speaks Grace Over Guilt Receive grace. Stop thinking you have to work for it. Point 4 - God Sends Us Forward in Freedom Leave here today ready to walk in the freedom He’s given you. Response in Song: “I Speak Jesus” (Scriptures and points by Youth Pastor Rodney Parker)
