Seattle Mennonite Church Sermons

Needing More Beauty (Pt 1)

Sheldon Burkhalter

A woman anoints Jesus' head with precious perfume. She offers this extravagant - even wasteful - gift under the angry eyes of the disapproving disciples. Yet Jesus says of that "what she has done will be told in memory of her."  Sheldon Burkhalter explores the joy, love and beauty inherent in her gift and the way we who follow Jesus are called not only to acts of service but to acts of beauty as well.

This is part one.  Part two concludes following the congregation singing "O Worship the Lord (in the beauty of holiness)"
