A church had a bus ministry that came knocking on his door one Saturday afternoon. The kid came to answer the door and greeted the bus pastor. The bus pastor ...read more

    The woman who anointed Christ regardless of what others knew or thought about her, and her act of love is memorialized by Christ. I believe that scripture shows us this woman has a name -- Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus.

    By Pastor Milton O. Bradford, Good Hope Baptist Church Cleveland Ohio Luke 7:36-50 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at ...read more

    An Extravagant Gesture

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 10, 2001

     | 10,022 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

    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

    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.

    We find Mary, who was the sister of Lazarus who would give the moon if it were hers to give. Mary gave extravagantly to the Lord.

    I get motivated when I hear songs about the extent people will go for love. I read this poetic expression of love recently. I would climb highest mountain for your love. I would swim the deepest ocean. Oh my love, I will come by and see you Saturday if it is not raining. Not much of a ...read more

    This look at Mary at the feet of Jesus will show how giving Jesus extreme worship doesn’t fit worldly thinking but it always fits Godly devotion

    I’m not sure exactly when they started – it may have been back before the time of Christ. I’m not sure how Mt. Dew seemed to become the drink associated with them. But I am relatively sure that we’ll have “extreme sports” in some form or another for the rest of history to come. Extreme sport: ...read more

    Preparing Jesus, Preparing For Jesus Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 3, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,606 views

    This chapter provides some real contrasts between real and trumped up worship, real belief and real betrayal. It is all a part of preparing Jesus for the cross and preparing us to receive him.

    John places Jesus at Ephraim, a village north of Jerusalem. Between the end of chapter 11 and here, Jesus travels back to Galilee, heals the ten lepers (Luke 17), talks to Zacchaeus (Luke 19) in Jericho on his way back to Bethany. It’s only six days until the Passover, and Jesus’ crucifixion. John ...read more

    Jesus calls us to relationship, to sabbath-rest. When will we realize this is not about religious or ’spiritual’ activity? We are called to BE not DO.

    Introducing Sabbath The sweetest sounding words that my wife ever speaks to me are very powerful. They arrest me and make me sit and up and listen.
