    John 12:4-6-But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and ...read more

    How do we respond to God’s Timing, when it does not match our own? How do we respond to God’s Love, both the Love He gives us, and the Love he desires to show through us to others? How do we obey God’s Command, even when it means our own suffering?

    Mary's act of devotion was costly but it was worth the price because costly devotion gets recognized, it gets remembered and it gets rewarded.

    COSTLY DEVOTION John 12:1-11 1) Costly devotion is sacrificial (1-3). Weird word isn’t it-‘nard’. Doesn’t sound very expensive, does it? Sounds too close to lard. “Hey, honey, look what I bought for you; this perfume called Nard! I got you a whole pint of it!” ...read more

     | 6,787 views

    This series of 6 messages looks at the design of the tabernacle as a template for drawing near to God. The Altar of Incense represents worship. In worship we are transported into God's presence, transformed by God's power and transfixed by God's glory.

    THE ALTAR OF INCENSE Let’s play a word association game. I will say a word and you say the first thing that pops into your head when you hear that word. Apple – Car – Husband – Donut – God … What came into your mind when you heard the word GOD. AW Tozer once ...read more

    John 12:1-8 “Did His Feet Smell that Bad?” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I must admit, this can be a very perplexing passage of Scripture. Wouldn’t it just be easier to ignore it? Of course, if we ignore it… …we loose the incredible insight ...read more

    The shouts of ’Hosanna!’ at the triumphal entry were shallow in contrast to the devotion Mary showed to Jesus in anointing him at Bethany the day before.

    TRUE WORSHIP AND THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY John 12:1-19 INTRO From the beginning of this year we have swept through the Scriptures as though we were watching a drama unfold.

    The self-gift of Mary of Bethany echoes the lifelong gift of Mary of Nazareth, who was associated with Jesus, her Son, in all His mysteries, especially His sacrificial death.
