Examining the crucifixion. Who is responsible for the murder of Jesus? It is more than an ethnic group.

John 12:7 'Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.' The sermon examines the anointing of Jesus by Mary in Bethany, arguing that the accounts in John, Matthew, and Mark describe a single event. It highlights Mary's ministry as sacrificial, humble, and purposeful, contrasting her silent devotion with Judas's hypocritical criticism. The preacher emphasises that Christian service must prioritise spiritual obedience over social responsibilities or public approval. True worship involves setting aside personal glory to honor Christ alone, regardless of external murmuring. Believers are encouraged to serve faithfully by doing what they can for the Lord with a pure heart.

Sermon number 46 of Pastor Merson's series on Romans. This sermon explores the theological significance of Romans 11, emphasizing the distinct yet interconnected plans for Israel and the Gentiles. The speaker warns Gentile believers against spiritual pride, urging humility and reverence as they recognize their standing is based on faith rather than superiority over unbelieving Israel. Central to the message is the metaphor of the olive tree, illustrating how God's sovereignty allows for both judgment and restoration. The preacher highlights the hope for Israel's future deliverance, asserting that God remains faithful to His covenant promises despite current unbelief. Ultimately, the passage calls for a response of gratitude, compassion, and reverent dependence on God's goodness.

In Matthew 13:44–46, Jesus tells two short parables about the kindomg of heaven- a hidden treasure and a pearl of great value. One man discovers the treasure unexpectedly; the other spends his time searching for something valuable. Yet when each recognizes what he has found, both respond by giving up everything to possess it. Let us consider what the kingdom of heaven is, its value, and the response required from us.
