March 25, 2012 - Fifth Sunday in Lent
“Solutions”
We continue our Lenten worship and sermon series, "Ready for a Change". (If you've missed any of the sermons, you can listen to the podcast here.) Our scripture reading for the day will be John 12:1-11. In this passage Mary, sister of Lazarus, anoints Jesus with a pound of pure nard (a very expensive perfume). It is an unimaginably generous and shockingly lavish gift - Mary's expression of devotion, gratitude and love for the one who changed her faith, her life, her world.
When, like Mary, our lives change as a result of our encounter with Jesus, we are compelled to offer ourselves in generous ways, following his way of self-giving love. What difference has Jesus made in your life? How are you responding in self-giving ways? What is your vision of yourself as a change-agent in the world?
See you on Sunday!
