    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 19, 2023
     | 1,937 views

    Seeing all the smiles, but knowing there was a betrayal, a denial, and desertion just ahead. It must have been tempting to stop the celebration and pour out his heart, but Jesus smiled and received this gift of appreciation, then celegrated the giver.

    Sermon - An Extravagant Gift of Appreciation Scripture Lesson: Matthew 26:6-16 “Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. While he was eating, a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume and poured it over his head. The ...read more

    The 2nd of a series during our Stewardship Campaign

    The overarching theme of our “Celebrate Stewardship!” campaign is, as you heard last week from Julia, and as I tried to explain in the course of my remarks last week, that you can’t out-give God! That’s true in every aspect of our lives, of course, and it should be obvious in everything we do. ...read more

    An Extravagant Gift Of Love At Bethany Series

     | 1,758 views

    Looming over this joyous occasion was the prospect of the coming arrest, trial, scouring and crucifixion of Jesus. It almost seems as if Mary understood the weight of moment that was upon her Lord. So, Mary enters the room during the meal and changes the atmosphere.

    Sermon -An Extravagant Gift of Love At Bethany Scripture Lesson: Matthew 26:6-16 “Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. 7 While he was eating, a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume and poured it over his head. 8 ...read more

    Mary risked discomfort and rejection in order to offer Jesus an extravagant gift. What do we risk in our worship?

    1. John 12.1-8 2. Selective Hearing (2 Slides) I like the story about a hobo who walked up to the front door of a big farmhouse, and knocked on the door until the owner answered. The hobo said, "Sir, could I please have something to eat? I haven't had a meal in days." The well-to-do owner of the ...read more

    5th in the Series "Near to His Heart: The Gospel of John." Looks at Mary’s Extravagant gift to Jesus and asks if we give extravagantly to Him.

    There is a wonderful story by the name of Babette’s Feast, by Isak Dineson. The setting is a small village on the coast of Denmark many years ago. Two spinster sisters provide leadership for a small church, which was founded by their now dead pastor-father many years before. The group has dwindled ...read more

    This sermon challenges God's people to be completely devoted to Jesus on the basis of his infinite worth. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give a brief feedback.

    INTRODUCTION (SECURE ATTENTION) & BACKGROUND OF THE PASSAGE: PRAY before starting the sermon. ILLUSTRATION: I remember my college days when I was studying Masters in Computer Science. In 2001, the Lord touched my life and I was on fire for God! I would be very vocal about my faith and share the ...read more

     | 1,571 views

    Many pastors and church leaders are in this great work not to be rewarded or celebrated, yet those who value their work and see their sacrifice should seek ways to bless their lives and encourage them on their way.

    Was Mary’s annointing of Jesus an extravagant gift or a waste of money?

    For Love Of Jesus – John 12: 1 - 8 Intro: As I worked on this sermon, I heard in my head a song from a famous Broadway musical, “What I Did For Love” from The Chorus Line. These are the words sung by Diana and the Chorus: “Kiss today goodbye, the sweetness and the sorrow. Wish me luck, the ...read more

    Gifts For The Lord

    The magi brought extravagant gifts for the baby Jesus even though they could not know what this child would do. We know that Jesus the Christ is God and saves us from our sin. What gifts do we bring to our Lord?

    Today we observe Epiphany, the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, with the visitation of the magi to the baby Jesus. The visit of the magi is probably the most misunderstood part of the Christmas story. The magi are often depicted in nativity scenes as if they arrived for the birth of Jesus, ...read more

    Following Jesus means living a life of extravagant devotion to Jesus.

    Most people in our culture seem to think that it’s okay to be religious so long as you don’t take your religion too seriously. Many people today treat religion and faith as a kind of hobby, as if some people are into stamp collecting, some people are into building models airplanes, and other people ...read more

    Choose your role model: Mary or Judas

    Monday of Holy Week If any words can sum up Jesus’s call to discipleship, they are the words, “leave everything, and come and follow me.” Whatever it is that keeps us from obeying Christ’s law of love must be abandoned radically so we can obey. Here, as we enter Christ’s final brief time of ...read more

    When Mary used that pint of expensive perfume on Jesus, she was expressing how thankful she was of what Jesus had done for her. Today, we will talk about gratitude and grace.
