Assembly of God
Sometimes people will do the most extravagant, outlandish things for the sake of love. Romeo learned the hard way that not all grand gestures pay off the way they were expected to. An episode in Jesus’ ministry portrays an unanticipated outcome of a quiet expression of extravagant love when a woman anoints Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume. By ignoring societal rules of convention, the woman exposed herself to criticism and ostracism. Jesus responded to her accusers with a measured but pointed rebuke, and finishes his recognition of her sacrificial gift by forgiving her sins. Pastor Chuck Franco will preach a sermon titled “Heartfelt Love,” from Luke 7:35-50 on Sunday, March 10.
The Wednesday Bible study covers Mark 6:30-8:30 which is session seven of “The Book of Mark,” a study by Francis Chan. Jesus miraculously feeds 5,000 on one occasion and 4,000 on another with just a few fish and loaves of bread. His disciples continue to be confounded by his miracles and apparently surprised at his ability to perform them. Jesus walks on water, continues to heal people, raise people from death to life, and is becoming the focus of anger from the Pharisees. The video is followed by interactive discussion, led by Pastor Franco.
