    The Eucharist And The Mother Of God Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 4, 2009
     | 4,141 views

    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.

    April 6, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Eucharist and the Mother of God The Blessed Virgin Mary, too, is the servant of the Lord. In fact, her assent to the angelic messenger and her only hymn in Luke proclaim her self-identity: handmaid of the Lord. The contrast between Mary of Bethany, the one ...read more

    Costly Devotion

     | 7,350 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

    Martha, Martha, You're Not So Bad

    Often overshadowed by her sister Mary, Martha is often marginalized as an undesirable example of for disciples. However, when examined through the lens of scripture and not popular Christian books, Martha shines through as an example for all godly women.

    When I survey the women of the New Testament, I find some remarkable women of faith, Mary the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38) is the first to come to mind. But, there are others, such as Joanna, Susanna and Mary Magalene (Luke 8:1-3). Later on, I read about Priscilla who, along with her husband, ...read more

    Fresh Encounter

    All of us need a Fresh Encounter. Without any apology, Richard Blackaby was my inspiration for developing this message. Everyone needs a "First Encounter" with Jesus followed by a "Fresh Encounter"...It's life-changing.

    Fresh Encounter Jerry Watts John 12:1-11 * Have you ever had an experience which you would call an ‘encounter?’ Encounters are those events in your life which you ‘remember!’ I’ll never forget the time I almost stepped on a cotton mouth moccasin. I’ll never ...read more

    Understanding Judas, helps us understand ourselves.

    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?

    What are the strongest days of the week? An Episcopal priest was preaching in an unfamiliar church one Sunday morning. As he stood in the pulpit to begin the service, he tapped the microphone to make sure that it was on. He heard nothing even though it was working fine. He wanted to give the ...read more

    Mary shows us the kind of relationship the Lord wants to have with us. 1. Jesus wants us to be confident in Him. 2. Jesus wants us to be committed to Him. 3. Jesus wants to care for us. 4. Jesus wants to commend us.

    Mary of Bethany displays the extravagant nature of worship as she anoints Jesus, and in so doing gives us all the model of the life of a disciple.

    Mary is a popular biblical name. As a matter of fact, it was the single most popular name in first century Palestinian culture. One in every five girls born carried the name Mary. Wow! 20% of the women named Mary! Contrast that to the Social Security Administration’s latest “most ...read more

    Mary of Bethany gives us an example of intimate, dedicated, loving worship of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She demonstrates that our worship should always be centered on Christ and reflect our personal commitment to honor Jesus in how we live.

    FRAGRANT WORSHIP By Michael K. Farrar, O.D. © God’s Breath Publications John chapter 12 is a transition in the life and ministry of Jesus.

She gave the Lord the type of worship God is looking for. She was willing to give her time and energy; she was willing to give not only ...read more

    Mary gave up a lot to show her love for Jesus. It can be costly to be a disciple. To come before God the Father without fear, with our sins removed wiped clean to live forever in his presence far outweighs anything we might give up out of our love for him

    We were discussing in our staff meeting this week the question of how you decide what to leave in your will, and to whom, when you die. As I was thinking about that I wondered how many of us have ever sat down and thought about what our priorities are in life; and when we come to write a will, to ...read more
