Good Things to Come

Randy McCarthy spoke about the last days of Jesus’ life and his resurrection and used Good Things to Come as a theme.

The Final Reaction to Jesus’ Ministry

Randy McCarthy read from John chapter 12 and spoke about The Final Reaction to Jesus’ Ministry.

John 12:1-3  Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment
