The Unforgettable Perfume - Mark 14:1-8 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 27, 2024

Is it really a good thing for this woman to spend a whole year’s wages on a single, momentary act of worship? And if so, why perfume? Wouldn’t there be some more practical gifts that could be given with that amount of money?

Six Signs Of Sleepiness - Mark 14:1-9 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 27, 2024

Why do so many people crash their cars because they fell asleep at the wheel? It’s because sleep comes upon you so gradually that you don’t realize when you’re crossing the threshold from being awake to being asleep. It’s the same spiritually.

Watch Out

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Dec 23, 2020

Let It Out!

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 5, 2020

Last week in my sermon on showing appreciation made me think of the biblical accounts where people were not restrained in showing their appreciation or excitement. Let's see what we can learn from some of the ones who did that.

Last week in my sermon on showing appreciation, I had mentioned what Jesus said to the Ephesian church in Rev. 2 about how they had forsaken their first love and they needed to repent and do the things they were doing in the beginning. I talked about how we may need to rekindle the ...read more

Breaking Our Flask

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 1, 2022

Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”(1) Our passages of Scripture for this morning speak of sacrifice. One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more
