    The woman who anointed Christ regardless of what others knew or thought about her, and her act of love is memorialized by Christ. I believe that scripture shows us this woman has a name -- Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus.

And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at ...read more

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

    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 anointing at Bethany followed by the triumphal entry to Jerusalem
