CrossOver - Part 3
We have received some request to put the notes from our messages up on-line, so this will be our first set of notes. We have been dealing with a message series entitled "crossover" which encourages us to get outside our 4 walls and get into marketplace.
We encourage you to read through the notes and give your comments...
If you would like to hear the audio of this message, you can do so @ www.faithmediagroup.net/podcast

Title: Crossover Part 3
Text: Luke 7:36-50

Luke 7:37 - Her condition caused her to bring an offering
This was no small gift, but this was a precious seed. When I say precious, I mean she was willing to give up something that meant something to her.
- The contents of the alabaster box could have been worth up to a years salary
- In order for her to use the contents of the box, it had to be broken
- When Abraham was told to bring Isaac, that was a precious seed, but his obedience to the voice of God proved that he was willing to "get out of the box with his giving"
Luke 7:38 - If you look at the pattern of the woman's
