    The "S" Word

    Contributed by Peter Thelander on Oct 31, 2001
    based on 27 ratings
     | 4,924 views

    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. One that we should talk about more that we do. · Sin? Good guess. It comes close, but not quite. · Sex? We could hear more good teaching on this ...read more

    What Does Jesus Want This Christmas?

    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

    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.

Shockley, Senior Pastor January 26, 2003 A man on his deathbed called his preacher, his doctor and his lawyer to visit him. “I have $30,000 left in the bank and I want to take it all with me when I die.

    A Touch Of Love

    This sermon is about how we need to tell our loved ones what they mean to us while they are still with us.

    A TOUCH OF LOVE Text: John 12:1-8 One of the songs of my list of favorites would have to be James Taylor’s "Shower The People". One of the reasons that I love that song apart from its pretty melody is its message. It talks about showering the people that we love with flowers. Later, in the ...read more

    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

    It doesn’t take long at this dinner party before the chaos breaks out, this time through the surprising appearance of Mary, pouring a ludicrously expensive jar of perfume.

    We’re turning to John’s Gospel today, which, quite frankly, is a little unnerving for me, as I find John’s Gospel more difficult to deal with than the other three John retells the story of Jesus in such a way that things are rarely as they appear to be. Jesus speaks of being born ’from above’ and ...read more

    The anointing of the Lord by Mary was an act that was to be remembered, which affected everyone around, and was an evidence of her love. She gave her best to the Lord.

    ANOINTING THE LORD John 12:1-8 1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honour.

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