The Fragrance of Hope

Picture this: a tense supper in Bethany, the air thick with the threat of betrayal. Jesus is there, just days from the cross. Then Mary steps forward with a pound of costly ointment, pouring it on His feet and filling the house with fragrance. Was it just an act of devotion—or something more? In this week’s sermon, ‘The Fragrance of Hope,’ we uncover how Mary’s worship echoes an ancient peace offering, foreshadows Christ’s sacrifice, and offers hope for the hopeless. From Judas’ treachery to the promise of redemption for all, join us as we explore a story that still scents the Church with grace.Stay Connected:Follow Pastor Jake on X at https://x.com/jakedell73.Subscribe to Experimental Sermons at https://jwdell.substack.com/.Join us for Sunday worship at https://firstchurchwoodbury.org/.
