02-13-2013 A Stone's Throw- Pastor Mark Rossington

One of the most famous stories of Jesus is when he met a woman that was about to be stoned to death by a mob of people. She was found guilty of committing adultery and by law had to be put to death. Lucky for her, Jesus was there and in that whole scene said one of the most famous lines to ever come out of the Bible, which is, "He who is without sin may cast out the first stone". The angry mob was diffused and the woman was saved that day, and Jesus was able to talk to her afterwards. Now, while there is an act of physically throwing a stone, what about the verbal ones? On Ash Wednesday, Pastor Mark talks about that very story and about the verbal stones that we encounter every single day. The ones that are available to us and where we have the option to use at the right time if we so choose to do so, and how we have the power to not use them. This one is the first part in a series for Lent, and that very first one can be found right here.
