The Dismal Nitch

The Woman Caught in Adultery – The Dismal Nitch of Public Humiliation

Chuck AdairAugust 2, 2026All Church

Passage: John 8:1-11

Summary

Jesus still walks into places where shame has the loudest voice. He still kneels in the dust beside broken people. He still silences accusing voices. And He still speaks words that no one else can say…. "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on sin no more."

Sermon Questions
  1. What failure, regret, or label have you allowed to define you more than your identity as someone redeemed by Jesus?
  2. Are you more likely to stand with the Pharisees holding a stone or kneel with the woman acknowledging your need for grace? Why?
  3. Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more” (John 8:11). How does His grace both free us from condemnation and call us toward transformation?
  4. What stones of judgment toward others—or stones of shame directed at yourself—do you need to lay down today?
  5. If the defining moment of your life is not the day you were caught but the day you were found by Jesus, what new direction is He calling you to take?
