    Im The One To Blame

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Apr 13, 2015
     | 3,125 views

    We should do more looking out than looking in to see the truly valuable things of God in the lost people all around us. Break the alabaster box of your heart and pour out the love of God that is in you over them.

    I’m the One to Blame When people examine the Easter story they often find many people to blame for Jesus betrayal, arrest, trial and crucifixion. In fact you could say it is a cast of thousands. Oddly enough while reading this familiar passage I was struck at how easily those who were ...read more

    Breaking Our Flask

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 1, 2022

    Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

    Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”(1) Our passages of Scripture for this morning speak of sacrifice. One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more
