  1. Extravagant Worship

    Sunday, May 16, 2010

    "Every act of obedience has far-reaching consequences."

    Mark 14:1-16
    We can learn from Mary's example.
    She displayed an excellent balance of sitting at Jesus feet absorbing all his teachings & actions. She also took extravagant action to display her adoration to Jesus by anointing him with expensive perfume in preparation for his death & burial.
    She "got it" when many followers did not.
    She understood & accepted Jesus' purpose for coming to Earth.
    Do we "get it?"

    "Nothing done for Jesus is ever wasted."
