The sermon “Responding Rightly” contrasts two heart postures in relation to Jesus. It begins with the context of the chief priests plotting against Him during Passover. In Bethany, a woman anoints Jesus with costly oil, prompting criticism from some disciples who see it as wasteful. Jesus defends her actions, emphasizing the significance of recognizing His presence and preparing for His burial.

The sermon then shifts to the rich young ruler, who seeks eternal life but struggles to follow Jesus due to his attachment to wealth. This highlights how he misses the true treasure found in discipleship.

Ultimately, the message emphasizes that authentic worship arises when we see the Lord rightly, encouraging each person to respond to Him in a unique and sincere way. It calls believers to value Christ’s presence and prioritize spiritual treasures over earthly possessions.
