    Mary gave up a lot to show her love for Jesus. It can be costly to be a disciple. To come before God the Father without fear, with our sins removed wiped clean to live forever in his presence far outweighs anything we might give up out of our love for him

    We were discussing in our staff meeting this week the question of how you decide what to leave in your will, and to whom, when you die. As I was thinking about that I wondered how many of us have ever sat down and thought about what our priorities are in life; and when we come to write a will, to ...read more

    Mary of Bethany gives us an example of intimate, dedicated, loving worship of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She demonstrates that our worship should always be centered on Christ and reflect our personal commitment to honor Jesus in how we live.

    FRAGRANT WORSHIP By Michael K. Farrar, O.D. © God’s Breath Publications John chapter 12 is a transition in the life and ministry of Jesus.

    The example set by Mary of Bethany

    Last week we looked at the subject of worship. We saw Mary’s devotion, how she humbled herself and sacrificed much giving Jesus the best she had to give. She gave the Lord the type of worship God is looking for. She was willing to give her time and energy; she was willing to give not only ...read more

    Giving Extravagantly

    How extravagantly do we give? Do we give God our best or our leftovers? Let’s look at Mary’s anointing of Jesus in John 12:1-8.

    One of the greatest secrets of the universe is in Jesus’ words, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ (Acts 20:35) It’s a simple gauge as to how blessed we are. Are we generous? How extravagantly do we give? Do we give God our best or our leftovers? Let’s look at Mary’s anointing of Jesus ...read more

    What are we willing to do selflessly for the love of Jesus?

    Done For Love John 12: 1 - 8 Intro: As I worked on this sermon, I heard in my head a song from “A Chorus Line.” I can imagine Mary singing this song later in her life.

    Mary, the sister of Lazarus, points us to reckless worship that is costly, active, personal, and sometimes judged.

    John 12:1-8 Reckless Worship Every time you see Mary, the sister of Lazarus, in scripture, you find her sitting at the feet of Jesus (Luke 10:39; John 11:32; 12:3). This lady knew how to worship. She knew—when many others did not—that Jesus was the long-awaited Christ. After all, he raised her ...read more
