    Why is the story of the women pouring perfume on Jesus' head be told along with the Gospel of Salvation?

    Let’s continue our worship of our Lord Jesus Christ by reading from the Gospel of Mark 14…. Read along with me v1-9……… As we had noted in the past, Scriptures explains Scriptures; and so, it is always good to see if other Gospels have the same story as the one we are studying….

    This sermon focuses on Mary's pouring of expensive perfume on the feet of Jesus as an act of extravagant worship, and how extravagant worship might be expressed by worshippers today.

    If you have your Bibles with you today, please open up to John 12:1. We have been looking through the book of John and we took a break from the book of John during Christmas and now we are picking it back up as we go from Christmas to Easter. It is very appropriate to pick it up here at chapter ...read more

    Jesus Anointed at Bethany Mark 14 Now the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were scheming to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him. 2 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or the people may riot.” 3 While he ...read more

    When Mary used that pint of expensive perfume on Jesus, she was expressing how thankful she was of what Jesus had done for her. Today, we will talk about gratitude and grace.

    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

    When we realize how much Jesus has forgiven us, we will develop a deep love for him. When Jesus hung on the cross, he was looking forward to the joy of saving us so that we can be with him forever. Therefore, let us reciprocate his love by growing in our love for him daily.

    Dear Brothers and sister in Christ, I entitled my sharing “Love, Devotion and Sacrifice”. Have you wondered why there are some Christians who seems to be so in love with Jesus? Do you wish to be like them? May the sharing be used by the Holy Spirit to bring us into a deeper love relationship with ...read more

    Extravagant gestures are an appropriate - even necessary - expression of love.

    Do you know how much it cost? $15,000, that’s how much. And that’s just for the perfume! The bottle she broke was worth nearly that much on its own. I can’t see why Jesus was so upset with us for complaining about the waste. I mean, I saw his point later on, but how could we have known then? ...read more
