(Study Guide) The Object of Our Worship: John 12:1-8

This study guide explores the nature of true worship, contrasting the genuine, selfless devotion of Mary with the destructive, self-serving actions of Judas Iscariot as described in the Gospel of John. It uses the quote that the "heart is an idol factory" to establish that all people worship something, and he encourages the congregation to practice wholehearted, costly, and selfless worship focused entirely on Jesus. The message emphasizes that worship is the chief purpose of the church, stressing the importance of being fully surrendered to Christ and avoiding the hypocrisy and self-focus demonstrated by Judas.
