Encounters with Jesus 2: Mary, Sister of Lazarus - Extravagant Worship (Video)

In our Lent-Easter worship series, Encounters with Jesus, we’re following Jesus from his raising of Lazarus to his resurrection, based on John’s account.  Over these weeks, we will hear stories from people who encountered Jesus.  With each character’s name, there’s a tag word/phrase to describe their experience.

This Sunday: Mary (sister of Lazarus) – Extravagant Worship.

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind with the word “worship”?  Is worship just what we do on Sunday mornings – or is it what we do in and through our everyday lives?

One thing’s for sure: we don’t worship God to gain his favour.  Rather, we worship God because we already have his favour.  Our story this Sunday is an amazing account of worship – of pouring out.  It precedes Jesus’ pouring out his holy and innocent blood for you and for me!
