    Giving Extravagantly

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 2, 2019
     | 5,022 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

    Mary anoints Jesus with very expensive oils worth a year's wages.

    Weekend Message/Devotion April 7, 2019 John 12:1-8 Jesus Relishes Extravagant Worship “Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.” Verse 1 As we delve into today’s gospel reading, let’s look behind the scenes just a bit.

    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

    A sermon about worshiping God with all we have.

    “Love Has its Reasons” John 12:1-8 Our Gospel Lesson for this morning is really a continuation of John Chapter 11. If you didn’t read John Chapter 11 this past week—if you didn’t see the email I sent out-- I encourage you, when you go home today or sometime in the next few days, to read ...read more

    Reckless Worship

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 7, 2019

     | 11,366 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

    Although we find it easy to be distracted by a thousand voices calling in our world, it is crucial that Christians be focused on serving Jesus in intentional ways. Mary of Bethany is a wonderful example of this!

    Intentional Discipleship John 12:1-8 Introduction Although we find it easy to be distracted by a thousand voices calling in our world, it is crucial that Christians be focused on serving Jesus in intentional ways.

    The Perfume Of Grace

     | 9,229 views

    A perspective on John 12: 1-8. What happens at this evening meal is extraordinary. The perfume was worth a years salary, and Mary gave it freely and willingly to anoint the feet of Jesus. How will you respond to salvation, to the perfume of grace?

    John 12: 1-8 The Perfume of Grace Past events can be re-called, remembered through the help of pictures, stories and even pleasant aromas. Toast reminds me of breakfast as its aroma fills the house and beckons me to have more. For some Jewish people the aroma of BBQ lamb contributes to remind ...read more

    Costly Devotion

     | 7,343 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

    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,490 views

    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

    Jesus overcomes evil through the power of choice and adoption

    We have been sharing a lot of information about our faith and trying in this season of repentance not to judge. It has been an incredible learning time for all of us. The title of the series comes from the old saying about judgment; “People in glass house shouldn’t throw?…..stones.” Right. The ...read more

    Ever heard the phrase, "no good deed ever goes unpunished"? Mary of Bethany may have felt that way when she showed Jesus how much she loved Him.

    Based on a sermon preached at Carrington Baptist Church, Fulton, MO 3-08-2015. (This is not an exact transcription.} Background Many events took place during the last several days before Jesus died on Calvary. He had left the area some time before, according to John chapter 11, and had stayed ...read more

     | 10,255 views

    Number 36 in an on-going sermon series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at true worship, and how true worship appears foolishly costly to the worldly minded, but to Christians there is no cost too high.

    Costly Worship (John Part 36) Text: John 12:1-8 Well it’s good to see you all this morning. I hope you are excited to be gathered with the Church. Today I’m going to do something I’ve never done as your pastor… and I think I’ve only done one other time in the 21 years I’ve been a pastor… I’m ...read more

    This sermon is going to focus on the life of Judas and in doing so encourage us to never take our spiritual blessings for granite but instead out of thankfulness examine our hearts and confess our sins so that we might keep our eyes fixed on the perfecter of our faith, Jesus Christ!
