The Beautiful Offering | The Anointing at Bethany | Mark 14:3–9

In this episode of My Bible Life, we dive into one of the most powerful acts of love and devotion in Scripture: the anointing of Jesus at Bethany. A woman breaks open an alabaster jar of costly perfume and pours it over Jesus, preparing Him for His burial. While others saw waste, Jesus saw worship — and declared her offering would be remembered wherever the gospel is preached.

What you’ll learn in this study:

• The cultural and prophetic meaning of anointing in Bible times
• Why Mary’s act was both extravagant and prophetic
• How does this story connect with the widow’s offering in Mark 12
• What true sacrificial giving looks like for us today
• How can we offer our own “beautiful offering” to God in everyday life

Join us as we reflect on what it means to live a life poured out in worship.

Be Watchful – No One Knows the Day or Hour | Mark 13:32–37 | My Bible Life Podcast

In this episode of My Bible Life, we’re studying Mark 13:32–37—where Jesus gives a clear and urgent message: No one knows the day or the hour of His return—so stay awake, be ready, and keep watch.

This teaching reminds us that spiritual alertness is not optional for believers. Jesus compares His return to a master who leaves his servants with work to do. Will we be found faithful when He returns? Or spiritually asleep?

Hello, I’m Vanessa Upkins as we go verse-by-verse through these powerful words from Jesus, uncovering how to:

• Trust God's perfect timing
• Live faithfully in the present
• Resist spiritual distractions
• Wake up to our Kingdom purpose

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay focused in uncertain times or how to prepare for Christ’s return, this study will equip and encourage you.

Listen, reflect, and be challenged to live ready—today.
