All right, let's get to the Word of God, the book of Luke chapter number seven, beginning

at verse number 36.

I'm going to read a couple of verses, NIV.

This is week eight.

Y'all don't know either.

I think it's week eight.

Week eight of this series, alterations.

We've been in it since 1999. It's, we're just,

we hear, we goaded. Amen. Luke chapter 7, verse 36 says, when one of the Pharisees invited Jesus

to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisees house and reclined on the table. A woman in that town who had lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisees house.

So she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume.

And as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears.

Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and poured

perfume on them. The NIV translators use the word jar. Other translators use the word box,

which seems to be more consistent with what the woman actually carried. So I want to talk from

this subject in our time together.

Break the box.

Clap your hands 1230.

If you're ready for God's word, break the box.

I'm going to see how many amans I can get even at this introduction as I start this sermon making a claim for your consideration.

Here it is.

When Satan knows he can't win, his next goal is to make you quit.
