Hi folks- for this week’s second look I’d like to direct you to a passage in scripture: John 8:1-11. I want to invite you to read it this week. Try to picture the scene playing out in your mind. I love how at the end of this story there are two things Jesus says:
- I don’t condemn you
- Go leave your life of sin…
I love this- He doesn’t say it the other way around: “Go leave your life of sin and then I won’t condemn you…”
I’d also like to invite you to take some time this week and listen to this song. We sang it on Sunday during communion. Have a great week everybody!!
Here’s the link to the song:

Here are the lyrics:
Come out of sadness… From wherever you’ve been
Come broken hearted… Let rescue begin
Come find your mercy… Oh sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow… That heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow… That heaven can’t heal
So lay down your burdens… Lay down your shame
All who are broken… Lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home… You’re not too far
So lay down your hurt… Lay down your heart
Come as you are
There’s hope for the hopeless… And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table… Come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary… Rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow… That heaven can’t cure
So lay down your burdens… Lay down your shame
All who are broken… Lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home… You’re not too far
So lay down your hurt… Lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Fall in his arms
Come as you are
There’s joy for the morning… Oh sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow… That heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow… That heaven can’t heal
So lay down your burdens… Lay down your shame
All who are broken… Lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home… You’re not too far
So lay down your hurt… Lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Come as you are
