Broken

Part of the challenge for the youth tonight was brokenness from the story of the alabaster jar (Mark 14). The perfume inside was worth over a year's wages, and yet she broke the jar as she anointed Jesus with the perfume. Too often we crack open the lid of our lives a tiny bit and slowly parcel out what we feel comfortable with while we keep control of the rest. But true worship comes as we are broken before God and allow him to have it all.

Once the alabaster jar was broken, there was no keeping anything back. She was now fully committed. No half and half. No turning back. It's all His.

We also need to be fully broken. Fully Committed. No half and half. No turning back. All His.

Be Refreshed!
