Mark 14
Pastor Wil Mouer
Outrageous Worship
In the routine of Christianity, we can get into the rut of making worship too ordinary.
Worship is much more than our corporate song service on Sunday mornings, Monday nights or other times. Unfortunately, many Christians get into this mindset. How can we avoid this from happening and keep our worship to God genuine, pure and even outrageous?
I think that one of the greatest examples of true worship - not just ordinary, but extraordinary - is found in Mark 14:3-9. This has become known as the story of the woman with the alabaster box. This woman broke a jar of expensive perfume and poured it over Jesus’ head. The disciples were upset because they knew the jar’s contents to be of much value, but Jesus rebuked them for thinking that way. He knew that her heart was to display an outrageous form of worship unto Him. The example is a great model for us.
We must find ways to show outrageous worship to our Savior. In what ways can you radically display your love for your Lord and Savior? Think of some new and fresh ways to worship God. Let’s make our expressions of worship to Him outrageous!
Wil Mouer planned to pursue a professional golf career when the Lord called him to full-time youth ministry, then led two effective student ministries before joining the Grace Covenant pastoral staff.
