We continued our mini sermon series this past Sunday, March 20 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, titled The Week That Changed the World. Our senior pastor preached from Mark 14:1-11, highlighting that the Gospel writer Mark (like his companion the Apostle Peter) wrote his story for his audience and in a way to showcase God's sovereignty. Mark flashes back in the middle of this narrative of the last week of Jesus' life to the story of the woman who broke the expensive jar of pure nard and poured it on Jesus. Her lavish, extravagant act is the very best she has to offer. Jesus deserves the very best we have to offer him. Are we followers who give Christ everything? Or are we followers who hold back?
