Talk 1: Anointed
AT FIRST GLANCE:
We are still on the study of the Gospel according to Matthew. After the long-running Feast Talk series The Clash,
today, we start a new Feast Talk Series titled Fulfilled,
based on Matthew 26— about the steps that yes, fulfilled, Jesus’ mission toward the Cross.
Talk 1 is titled Anointed— yes, the first step, how Jesus
started His way to Calvary.
I. REVIEW THE KEY BIBLE VERSES:
Talk 1: Anointed
Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon,
a man who had previously had leprosy.7 While he was
eating, a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar
of expensive perfume and poured it over his head. 8 The
disciples were indignant when they saw this. “What a
waste!” they said. 9 “It could have been sold for a high
price and the money given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus,
aware of this, replied, “Why criticize this woman for
doing such a good thing to me? 11 You will always have
the poor among you, but you will not always have me.
12
She has poured this perfume on me to prepare my
body for burial. 13 I tell you the truth, wherever the Good
News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s
deed will be remembered and discussed.” (Matthew
26:6-13 NLT)
There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore
I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow
Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.
(Deuteronomy 15:11 NIV)
“Beloved friends, what should be our proper response
to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to
God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this
becomes your genuine expression of worship.” (Romans
12:1 TPT)

Talk 1:

“…you have abandoned the passionate love you had for
me at the beginning.” (Revelations 2:4 TPT)
“I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead.” (Philippians 3:10 NLT,
emphasis mine)
“We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive.
They are not busy; they are busybodies.” (2 Thessalonians 3:11 NIV)
III. ASK FOR REACTIONS AND REFLECTIONS:
Ask:
1. Do you see loving the poor as coming out of your
love for God? How?
2. Do you see examples of “extravagant worship” and
“true worship is costly” in your life?
Share experiences on the 3 Ways To Serve Jesus
in the Suffering:
1.First, Welcome the Needy into Your Life
Before you give your money, give your heart.
Spend time with those in need. Talk with them. Laugh
with them.
Befriend the people in the periphery. People you don’t
usually deal with. Believe me, at the very core, you’re
the same: You’re God-carriers.
2. Second, Earn More To Give More
Helping the needy shouldn’t just be a nice thing to do.
It must now be the purpose of your work.
Set aside a portion of your monthly income as your
Alms.
3. Third, Ask God How He Wants You To Love the
Poor
Go to Jesus and pray, “How do You want me to serve
You in the suffering?” Trust that He will give you a special assignment.
If they haven’t yet, Invite members to serve in the Light
of Jesus Mercy Ministries (see below).

IV. PRAY FOR EACH OTHER
Pray:
Jesus, thank You for desiring my heart.
Help me to give you Extravagant Worship.
I love you with my whole heart.
I surrender my all to You. My ego.
My time, talent, and treasure.
In Jesus name.
