An Alabaster Jar Matthew 26.6-13

Jesus is about to pay for our sins and restore us to the Father. In the next several weeks there’s a turn towards the cross. Matthew 26 is days before the cross. The setting is Bethany. Jesus and His disciples spent time in Bethany. Several times per year Jerusalem would swell with people because of festivals and events. For example, at Jesus’ birth Jerusalem was full. This is the scene. Jerusalem is packed. Jesus had friends in Bethany, outside of Jerusalem. The home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus was located there. They are in a different house close by for the final preparation for the cross. Luke tells us this is the primary purpose of Jesus’ coming to this world. In Matthew 26 the opening verses are a powerful demonstration of what it means to value Jesus. How do we value Jesus? How do you know what something is worth?

Why should I be Baptized? Luke 3.21-22

Baptism is a special time for us; it's a special moment in the life of the church. Baptism also reminds us of our own baptism. My parents were very involved in church. My dad filled and drained the baptistry. As a kid I was fascinated by the baptistry.

There's some reasons we baptize: Baptism connects us to believers throughout history. Baptism is something we have celebrated as a church for a couple thousand years now. Mil...

God’s Call: Genesis 12.1-9

We all have our callings and how do we live out our callings with so many distractions? How do we make sense of what’s happening? God’s Word doesn’t change and always remains the same. It speaks deep into our hearts. Abraham is a tremendous figure in the history of the world and Abraham knew about loss. In Genesis 12:1-9, God calls Abraham and God calls us as well. Abraham has and will experience a tremendous amount of loss. Everything is disrupted. Abraham understands when life doesn’t make sense. There’s a reason for this. God wants to bless the world through Abraham. God will bless those who bless Abraham and will curse those who curse him. We are all asking why this is happening in our world today. How do we understand our calling? God speaks into our lives. In chapter one God calls Abraham to leave the known and venture into the unknown. We can relate to this. We...
