Yesterday I interacted with Kathryn Wright and Ken Yates on Zoom regarding the account of Mary and Martha as found in Luke 10:38-42. You probably know what happened. The Lord Jesus went into a village. There, Martha greeted Him and “welcomed Him into her house” (v 38). Martha’s sister, Mary, was home. She sat at

Doing Great Things with a Little

August 28, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Disciple, Last Supper, Mark 14:3-14, Mark 9:41, Mary, Works

In Mark 14:3-14, Mark records two events. The first involves a woman who anoints the Lord’s body with a bottle of perfume. The second involves a homeowner who allows the Lord to celebrate the Last Supper at his home. Even though they seem to be completely separate events, I think they have a couple of

Three Truly Great People in One Room (Luke 1:39-45)

October 10, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Elisabeth, Humility, John the Baptist, Mary

One day a little over 2,000 years ago, three truly great people came together in a house located in the hill country of a small, insignificant nation. One was named Mary. In later years, she would become known to billions as the mother of God. People would even falsely worship her as such. Another person

When Being Young Is an Advantage (Luke 1:38)

December 27, 2022 by Ken Yates in Blog - Faith, Mary, Scriptures, Zacharias

The Bible clearly teaches that a young believer should learn from those who have been in the faith for a long time. Many older believers have a deeper understanding of God’s Word.

December 23, 2022 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - Christmas, Discipleship, Growth, Luke 2, Mary

It’s Christmastime, which means that most of us are once again reading the Biblical accounts of the Lord’s birth. As we think about these accounts, many of us will turn our gaze to Mary, the mother of Jesus. As a general rule, there is an overemphasis and even a glorification of Mary at Christmas. The

Do You Know Jesus’ True Value? (John 12:1-8)

May 10, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Bethany, Judas, Mary, oil, valuation

“Do you know what you’re worth?” the ad asked. Our self-esteem culture strongly emphasizes knowing your self-worth—at least in terms of dollars and cents. You can find websites that tell you how much you should be making per year. I think most are too optimistic. For example, I was surprised to learn that, according to
