In "Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Strong - Part 2," Pastor Joseph Davis continues to unpack what it means to live a life of audacious faith, drawing profound lessons from the story of the woman who anointed Jesus with costly spikenard oil. He challenges listeners to navigate their "now season" – a time filled with distractions and legitimate concerns – by focusing on what truly matters. Pastor Davis highlights a common pitfall: only seeking Jesus for His blessings and prosperity (His "hand"), while neglecting His holiness, image, and likeness (His "face"). He asserts that true transformation comes from embracing all of Jesus, not just the parts we find comfortable or advantageous.
The sermon powerfully illustrates the woman's boldness as she breaks her alabaster box, symbolizing the breaking of all perceived boundaries and protocols to release what is truly valuable within. This act, Pastor Davis explains, is about "getting what's in me out of me" and unleashing one's God-given anointing for purpose and destiny. He poses a crucial question for leaders and individuals alike: "Are you training people or are you taming people?" underscoring the need to cultivate a spirit that roars and fights for its destiny rather than being suppressed. The anointing, he stresses, is essential for navigating life's most challenging moments and for crucifying the flesh daily. The message also exposes the hypocrisy present even among religious figures, contrasting it with the woman's radical devotion. Pastor Davis passionately encourages transparency and honesty in our faith walk, urging listeners to admit hurt and acknowledge struggles rather than pretending everything is fine, as true healing and growth emerge from vulnerability.
