Growing Your Devotion
Summary
The sermon explores the concept of devotion, examining how people demonstrate earnest attachment to various things in life, from sports teams to personal interests. Using a biblical passage from John 12, the pastor focuses on Mary's profound devotion to Jesus, contrasting her sacrificial act of anointing Jesus's feet with expensive perfume against Judas's superficial and self-serving perspective. The key takeaway is that true devotion is demonstrated through action, sacrifice, and prioritizing what one values most, with the ultimate challenge being to develop a genuine, heartfelt devotion to God.
