Sermon
Worshipful Waste
Mercy Hill Church - Cincinnati
Speaker: Ernie Bonnoitt

Summary
Jesus is inherently polarizing—dividing those who treasure him above all else from those who resist his authority to maintain their own control and comfort. Through three groups' responses to Jesus (Mary's sacrificial worship, Judas's self-interested resentment, and the Pharisees' protective self-preservation), the sermon challenges listeners to examine whether Jesus is their greatest treasure or whether other loves—possessions, status, plans—hold their hearts captive.
Highlights
Witnessing is not something you do. It's who you are.
If we would learn to sit at Jesus' feet, we would give him more too.
When we worship our stuff, and we only follow God because of what it brings us, we're missing the complete thing.
