Series: The Gospel Can't Be Contained

As we move into Mark 14 during our current sermon series, we look at one of the more incredible stories of the ministry of Jesus. At a feast given in Jesus honor, an extravagant act of worship is expressed through sacrificial giving and simple gratitude as He is anointed by Mary. ---------- Of course, this remarkable story is set against the backdrop of the sinister planning of the religious leaders who were becoming increasingly incensed at Jesus' influence and teaching as they sought to destroy Him. It presents such a stark contrast: the humble sense of indebtedness versus the evil intentions of the wicked. The very contrast we will hear more about in this week's message.
