In Memory Of These Women

Life on the West Side

Find any powerful story in Scripture—then look closely. Past the obvious. Behind the headliners. You will likely read about a woman or man, perhaps a servant or onlooker, who contributes a line, a word, or a gesture.

The servant girl who offers a word of advice to a king. A face in the crowd that sparks a ministry. Those secondary stories that represent the minor key in the symphony. Every one of them important.

In this series, we will consider the unsung, unnoticed, often unnamed characters in scripture without whose contribution the music may never have been heard.

The sermon today is titled "In Memory of These Women." It is the fourth and final installment in our series "Supporting Cast: Minor Characters, Major Lessons." The Scripture reading is from Mark 14:3-9 (NIV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on August 11, 2024. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under SERVE: Making A Difference.
