    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

    An Extravagant Gesture

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 10, 2001
    based on 81 ratings
     | 10,001 views

    Extravagant gestures are an appropriate - even necessary - expression of love.

    Do you know how much it cost? $15,000, that’s how much. And that’s just for the perfume! The bottle she broke was worth nearly that much on its own. I can’t see why Jesus was so upset with us for complaining about the waste. I mean, I saw his point later on, but how could we have known then? ...read more

    Mary’s act of selfless love in annointing Jesus’s feet with oil exemplifies for us the joy that comes is giving all that we have and all that we are to God.

    What Does Jesus Want This Christmas?

    Contributed by Howard Harden on Dec 12, 2002
    based on 51 ratings
     | 17,139 views

    Through Mary’s gift, we see an example of what Jesus wants, and does not want from you and me, not just at Christmas, but every day of the year.

    I think it’s safe to say that by and large, men need a lot of help in finding that perfect holiday gift. It just isn’t a talent that many men have. Sometimes the hints have to be especially large. Well this morning, I’d like to help all of the men present to discover what will be the perfect gift ...read more

    A look at examples of stewardship in the Gospel of John.

    Introduction · So what is the “S” word? · Hint – it’s a topic that is frequently avoided in polite Christian circles. One that we don’t like to discuss.

    Jesus anointing at Bethany followed by the triumphal entry to Jerusalem

    One of the things the gospel writers do as they present their accounts of the life and words of Jesus, is to describe the wide range of responses to Jesus. That’s very apparent in today’s reading from John 12. Here we see a range of responses to Jesus, ranging from Mary’s loving devotion to the ...read more
