    Jesus was the seed that died so that we might live; we too are called to die to self so that others may live.

    Monday of Holy Week 2013 Seeds 1 Two of the privileges given to deacons in this diocese is the ability to preside at baptisms and wake services. What is striking to me every time is the use of this psalm 27, this psalm which begins this first day of three at the head of Holy Week. “I ...read more

    We all need to take our own Palm Sunday Journey; not to a physical Cross, but to purposely go to Calvary on the inside, and die to self-rule, so that we can live in the Lord's power and HIs direction.

    A Palm Sunday JOURNEY Palm Sunday 2015 Eric J. Hanson INTRODUCTION (Read John 12:1-19) The reason Jesus came into Jerusalem on that Sunday long ago was not to get a thrill. He did not come into the capital city in order to set up an Earthly kingdom while his popularity was peaking and he had ...read more

    Giving Extravagantly

     | 5,046 views

    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. It goes like this, “Kiss today goodbye, the sweetness and the sorrow. Wish me luck, the same to you. But I can’t regret what ...read more

     | 11,397 views

    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

     | 7,355 views

    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
