The main idea of the message is that gratitude is a powerful force that can transform our perspectives, expose our hearts, and bring honor and worship to Jesus.
Mark 14:3-9, John 12:1-8
Why do you think Jesus defended and commended the woman's act of gratitude?
In what ways can we cultivate a heart of gratitude in our daily lives?
What is the 'Gratitude Gap' and how can recognizing it change our perspective on life?
In this sermon from Pastor Jacob Aranza at Our Savior's Church - Lafayette, we are encouraged to come to the table and prepare our hearts for Easter and the Passover. Through the story of a woman who poured expensive oil on Jesus' head, we learn the power of gratitude and how it can change our perspectives and expose our hearts. We also see how Jesus defends and commends gratitude, and how it has a contagious aroma that can affect those around us.
Let's take a moment to reflect on our gratitude and thankfulness towards Jesus and express it through worship and honor.
As we go about our daily lives, let's remember to have an attitude of gratitude and recognize the blessings and grace that God has given us.
