Sermon: Celebrating Faithfulness–The Bottom Line – Luke 8:1-3, Psalm 37:18-26
May 2, 2021
I don’t know about you, but this scripture really surprises me. Many of us grew up with bible stories, we know the name Mary Magdalene. What comes to mind when you hear the name, “Mary Magdalene”? Usually we think, “She’s a sinner” or “she had demons cast out of her.” But three places in scripture it tells us that she paid the bills for Jesus’ ministry! We have not given credit where credit is due! How come I didn’t learn about this in Sunday school?
