Mary The Anointer 32:26

for 1 day siden32:26

32:26

Mary the Anointer approached the tomb, expecting to anoint the body of Jesus—but what she found changed everything. Mark 15:42–16:4 reveals a deep preoccupation with Christ’s lifeless body. Why? What does this tell us about the meaning of His death? This message explores the central event of Christ’s sacrifice through three powerful perspectives of atonement: 1️⃣ Jesus’ death as Ransom – Paying the price for our freedom. 2️⃣ Jesus’ death as Substitute – Taking our place in judgment. 3️⃣ Jesus’ death as Victor – Triumphing over sin, death, and Satan. Each view deepens our understanding of Christ’s work on the cross and ignites our devotion to Him. #JesusIsRisen #Atonement #JesusPaidItAll #VictoryInJesus #GospelTruth #ChristianSermon #Mark16 #ChristOurRansom #JesusOurSubstitute #ChristusVictor…

Mary the Witness Stand Out, Stand By, Stand On Mary Magdalene wasn’t just a follower of Jesus—she was a witness who stood out for her singular devotion to Him. In a world where identity is often tied to people, status, or achievements, Mary found her identity in Christ. She stood by Jesus at the cross when others fled, showing a faith that was bold, unwavering, and deeply committed. This sermon explores what it means to stand out for Christ—not out of arrogance or strangeness, but for unwavering faith. It challenges us to stand by Jesus in the hardest moments, just as Mary did at the crucifixion. And it calls us to stand on the firm foundation of Christ’s words and resurrection power. Let’s live with a faith that stands out, stands by, and stands on the truth of Christ! #MaryTheWitness #FaithThatStands #JesusFirst #StandOutForChrist #FollowJesus #BoldFaith #MaryMagdalene #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTeaching #Sermon…

Friendship That Heals 30:06

Do you need healing—emotional, physical, spiritual, or psychological? 💔 James 5:16-18 shows us the power of confession and prayer in bringing restoration. But what if you're afraid to confess? What if praying feels awkward or uncomfortable? True healing happens in community. When we confess our sins to one another and pray for one another, we step into the light, break sin’s power, and experience God's grace. Prayer is powerful—even Elijah, a man just like us, experienced a powerful answer to prayer. Find friends who confess and pray for one another so that you will be healed!

Friendship That Speaks Truth 29:41

29:41

This message tackles two questions: Do I love others enough to give correction? Do I love Jesus enough to receive correction? A good friend tells the truth even when the truth hurts. Proverbs 27:5-6 describes this type of truth telling as a faithful wound. When a friend wounds us with the truth, that wound can lead us to grow more like Christ. On the other hand, empty praise can be the mark of an enemy. Learn what it looks like to be a friend who speaks the truth out of love (Ephesians 4:15). Then learn what it looks like to humble receive correction because we love Jesus and want to live more like him! #BiblicalFriendship #SpeakTheTruthInLove #FaithfulWounds #Proverbs2756 #ChristianGrowth #SpiritualMaturity #JesusCentered #Ephesians415 #OpenRebuke #ChristianTeaching #WisdomFromProverbs #Discipleship #TruthAndLove #GospelTruth #FollowJesus…
