So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. For here we have not lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing God.
Heb 13:12-16

This past Sunday, I had the privilege of serving and worshiping with my local church through preaching on John 12:1-9. I pray the sermon diagnoses, convicts and encourages your hearts with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and what it has to do with our perception of reality.
