    Taking a look at the attendees at the dinner given in Jesus' honor in Bethany at the home of Simon the Leper. Which character(s) would you be if you had been there? Many had good attitudes and thankful hearts.

    This is the fifth week of the Lenten season and today we’ll be taking a look at an event in the life of Jesus that revealed true love. So, let’s take a look at the passage starting in the 12th chapter of John, verses 1 through 8 John 12:1-8 “Six days before the Passover, ...read more

    Designed to be used in conjunction with CeCe Winan’s song "Alabaster Box", this sermon challenges the Pharisee in us all.

    Luke 7 "The Alabaster Jar" 36. Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37. When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster ...read more

    When no one else would offer her hope...she somehow had heard about the hope that Jesus could not only offer but extend to her as well. And that amazing hope and the story of the gospel took seed in her life and begin to grow…

    Faiths Sweet Fragrance Luke 7:36-50 MSG 36-39 One of the Pharisees asked him over for a meal. He went to the Pharisee’s house and sat down at the dinner table. Just then a woman of the village, the town harlot, having learned that Jesus was a guest in the home of the Pharisee, came with a ...read more

    Living A Life Of Sacrifice: A Matter Of The Heart

    based on 34 ratings
     | 6,368 views

    The woman with the alabaster jar and the widow’s two copper coins show us that sacrificial giver is not determined by much we give, but by a grateful heart.

    “Living A Life of Sacrifice: A Matter Of The Heart” Romans 12:1-8 This is the last week of our stewardship “check-up.” I hope that during the past week you have found quiet times to allow the Lord to search your heart, give you insights into His will, and give you the passion to become a godly ...read more

    The Pharisee & The Woman Weeping At Jesus' Feet: The Two Debtors Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 31, 2022
     | 1,554 views

    When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”

    What does it really mean to say our sins are truly forgiven? In our Christian faith we call that justification. A word rooted in the word justice. Which is what my name comes from, justin, means justice or to be justified. “What is justification? It is the declared purpose of God to regard and ...read more

    Sacrifice Fragrant To The Lord

    Contributed by William Tan Yh on May 17, 2007

     | 7,644 views

    What is it in your hand to offer to the Lord. The sacrifice which you offered not only bring delight to the Lord but also bring the most beautiful fragrance to fill the entire room.

    Today the title of my sharing is “A Fragrant Sacrifice” This story is taken from John 12 and also found in Matt 26 and Mark 14. The setting was at the house of Simon the Leper, (where Lazarus lived) after he had been raised from the dead. The time was six days before the Passover. ...read more

    Mary Worshipped

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 6, 2017
     | 7,624 views

    When we read of Mary the sister of Lazarus anointing Jesus with that alabaster jar of nard we often focus on who she was, the worth of the perfume, what the disciples said, etc. But we often overlook what Mary was actually doing.

    Matthew 26:6-16 (Please open your Bibles so that you can follow along) Two weeks ago we have took a look at Jesus clearing the temple of the livestock marketplace and currency exchange bank that had been set up in the temple in order to profit from the sacrifices and offerings which would be given ...read more

    Worship isn't about coming to get something from God; it's all about giving Him something. When you bless the Lord, you can't help but be blessed in return.

    INTRODUCTION I’ve shared some church bulletin bloopers in the past, but churches just keep making mistakes with their announcements. Here are some actual statements that appeared in church bulletins. 1. The outreach committee has enlisted 25 visitors to make calls on people who are not afflicted ...read more

    Do What You Can

     | 7,270 views

    It is my opinion that although the gospels of Matt., Mk., Lk., and John record some similar details regarding the alabaster jar, the critical reader will conclude that three separate anointing occur.

    Do What You Can! (Mark 14:3-9) (Mark 14:1-9; Matthew 26:7-13; Luke 7:36-40; John 12:3-8, cf.

    Breaking Our Flask

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 1, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,264 views

    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

    What would your plans be if you knew you had only six days to live? Jesus took time to visit dear friends and fellowship with them. Their home was in the city of Bethany, and there Mary, Martha and their brother Lazarus were included in a feast given in honor of Jesus.

    We May Ask, Are Our Sacrifices Too Great For The Lord?

    Contributed by William Tan Yh on Oct 24, 2020
     | 3,264 views

    Do we feel that the sacrifices that we made are too great? Do we feel weary and stress in our walk as a believer? We have been challenged to the extreme due to the storms that come our way. May this message bring comfort, faith and strength to you.

    Today’s devotion is taken from Mark 14:3-9: “And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. There were some who said to ...read more

    This message challenges us to re-think the meaning of Christmas.

    We’re going to begin in two places tonight – John 3 and Genesis 3. I want you to think about a question: How will this Christmas be different for you than past Christmases? But probably the question that really needs to be asked is this: How will you be different this Christmas than in past ...read more

    Jesus Anointed

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 15, 2018
     | 6,380 views

    In the Gospels we see two separate but distinct accounts of Jesus being anointed by women. Today let's take a look at the reactions of the Pharisees, the disciples and the "anointers" and see how we measure up.

    Please stand and repeat with me our current memory verse ... 2 Timothy 2:11-13 “Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him. If we disown Him, He will also disown us; if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He ...read more
