When Worship Looks Like Waste

As Jesus’ death draws near, two very different responses emerge. Religious leaders secretly plot His murder while a woman named Mary pours out a year’s wages worth of perfume in an extravagant act of worship. One group sees Jesus as a threat to eliminate. The other sees Him as a treasure worth everything she owns. In this message from Mark 14:1-9, Pastor Greg explores the powerful contrast between cold religion and wholehearted devotion, the danger of spiritual blindness, the true meaning of worship, and why Jesus declared that Mary’s act would be remembered wherever the Gospel is preached. What some called waste, Jesus called beautiful.
