    We Give because we are in love with the One who has given to us.

    Around the table with Jesus only Mary had the correct focus. This sermon examines all the different foci of those represented.

    Updated: 3rd April 2001 (was previously only in ’skeleton’ form) (1) INTRODUCTION: According to Rev 3:20, when we ask Jesus into our lives He comes to feast with us! In this story, there are many people around that table with Jesus but all with a different ’FOCUS’ - Mary is seen as having the ...read more

    Jesus anointing at Bethany followed by the triumphal entry to Jerusalem

    One of the things the gospel writers do as they present their accounts of the life and words of Jesus, is to describe the wide range of responses to Jesus. That’s very apparent in today’s reading from John 12. Here we see a range of responses to Jesus, ranging from Mary’s loving devotion to the ...read more

    What Does Jesus Want This Christmas?

     | 16,496 views

    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.

    Giving God Our Best “Count On Me” Message Series: Part 4 Cornerstone Church Rev. Gary A. 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

    Healing our spiritual blindess is learning what can cause it.

    The blind man Christ couldn’t heal Of all my senses I imagine my sight would be the worst to lose. Much of our learning comes from the positive example of others. However there are many more examples of what we shouldn’t do that we can learn from as well. I wan’t to talk about the situation of ...read more

    Jesus tells us we will always have the poor with us -- but what are we supposed to DO with the poor?

    Deuteronomy 15:4-11 There should be no poor among you, for in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you, if only you fully obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today.

    The sermon looks at giving care and love to the dying.

    John 12:1-8 I know that the area, we are returning to this evening comes just before the death and resurrection of Jesus.

    Mary’s act of love became a world wide memorial to her. Judas act for money became an unmemorial as the Pharisees used the betrayal money to bury strangers.

    One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Joey was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. It was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it. The seven-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked ...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
