"A Life Worth Remembering" (John 12:1-11) - Jonny Ardavanis

What makes a life truly memorable in the eyes of God?

In John 12, as Jesus approaches the cross, we encounter a remarkable act of worship from Mary of Bethany—an act so precious that Jesus declares it must be remembered wherever the gospel is preached. In this message, we examine Mary’s legacy and learn what God honors in a life fully surrendered to Him.

From Mary’s sacrificial gift to her quiet humility and profound spiritual insight, we are reminded that it’s not fame, wealth, or achievement that leaves an eternal impact—but a heart that deeply loves and honors Christ.

Passage: John 12:1–11

Key Points:

1. Mary’s Sacrifice

2. Mary’s Humility

3. Mary’s Insight

4. Mary’s Love

This message calls us to lay our lives at the feet of Jesus—whether through giving, serving, learning, or loving. In doing so, we find the path to a life that heaven remembers.
