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.

Bible Reading: Philippians 2:1-11 1. The Servant. 2. The Shape. 3. The Sacrifice. The sermon explores the profound humility of Jesus Christ as presented in Philippians 2, positioning Him as the ultimate role model for believers. It highlights three key aspects of His humiliation: His voluntary servanthood, His full identification with human nature, and His obedient sacrifice unto death on the cross. The preacher contrasts worldly role models with Christ's self-emptying love, urging listeners to embrace humility and service rather than seeking status or pleasure. By examining Christ's submission to the Father and His bearing of sin, the message emphasizes that true Christian character is found in following this divine example. The narrative concludes by pointing to Christ's subsequent exaltation, offering hope and a call to personal devotion.

The sermon challenges listeners to perform a spiritual health check by examining the condition of their souls rather than relying on outward religious performance. Using Cornelius as a primary example, it argues that even devout, God-fearing, and generous individuals remain unsaved without explicit faith in Christ. The preacher emphasizes that moral behavior and church attendance cannot atone for sin, urging believers to seek full assurance of salvation through the gospel. Ultimately, the message calls for a personal reliance on Jesus' atoning sacrifice as the only means of being justified before God.

The sermon explores the nature of divine love by contrasting human relationships with God's unconditional affection for humanity. It emphasizes that true love is a deliberate choice demonstrated through sacrifice, culminating in Jesus laying down His life not just for friends, but for enemies. The message highlights that while humans are naturally rebellious and unworthy, Christ paid the penalty for sin as an act of propitiation. Salvation is presented as a free gift received by faith rather than earned by works, requiring a personal response to this overwhelming offer. The central call is to recognize this matchless love and surrender to it, transforming from enemies of God into adopted children in His family.

We are preparing to enter into the most sacred and holy truth of all scripture. We come closer and closer to the beating heart of the Gospel and find the One waiting there is glorious beyond all description! He is the One who has loved us, who has given Himself for us and who will one day return and take us home to be with Him forever!! He is not the cold vengeance-filled god born of Muhammed's imagination… He is not the feeble, vapid and effete godlett of American liberal "Christianity". He is not the demon-gods of the Hindu, nor the happy fat Buddha, but He is the God of the Bible. He ALONE is God and He ALONE is worthy to be praised!! The God who holds out the glory of the Gospel is YHWH, creator of Heaven and Earth... He is Jesus Christ, YHWH made flesh, the second person of the Eternal Godhead and He has entered the true Holiest Place, entered the very throne room of Heaven and paid the ransom for our sin! He has purchased us back with the price of His Own Blood!! The most perfect sacrifice and the absolute, total payment for sin!

The sermon focuses on the imminent return of Jesus Christ as described in Revelation chapter 1, emphasizing that His coming will result in either wailing or worship depending on one's spiritual standing. It contrasts the eternal condemnation awaiting unbelievers with the glorious redemption promised to believers through the atoning blood of Christ. The message stresses that salvation is secured solely by faith in Christ's sacrifice rather than religious observance, urging listeners to examine their hearts and ensure they are prepared for the final judgment. By highlighting the certainty of this event, the preacher calls for immediate repentance and assurance of heaven for those who trust in Jesus alone.

There is none like Jehovah, as Micah 7:18-20 declares, and we examine the aspects that set Him far above all others.
