    The Just Society And Why Judas Was Judged Harshly

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2022
     | 749 views

    Somehow it seems very strange to ask Judas about the virtue of justice.

    Monday of Holy Week I don’t understand why people these days feel like they have to defend Judas from the accusations that he was a thief and a jerk. He was a thief and a jerk. Today’s Gospel shows him accusing Jesus of sinning against the virtue of justice, by allowing an expensive ointment to ...read more

    Monday of 29th Week in Course We celebrate here the one who died for our sins and was raised by the Father for our justification. The celebration of the Eucharistic sacrifice turns us into the opposite of the miser remembered in the Gospel, whom Joachim Jeremias believes was a real person whose ...read more

    One of the greatest secrets of the universe is in Jesus’ words, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ (Acts 20:35) Do we give extravagantly to God or our leftovers? Let’s look at Mary’s anointing of Jesus in John 12:1-8.

     | 10,263 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

    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

    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
