Day 1 — The Anointing: Same Room, Different Hearts Mark 14:1–11 (the sermon text) John 12:1–8 (John's parallel account, which names Mary and highlights Judas's motive)
Day 2 — Revelation vs. Human Understanding Matthew 16:13–17 (Peter's confession — Jesus tells him "flesh and blood did not reveal this to you") 1 Corinthians 2:6–16 (the Spirit reveals what the mind cannot grasp on its own)
Day 3 — What Worthy Devotion Looks Like Psalm 63:1–8 (longing for God as worth more than life itself) Luke 7:36–50 (another anointing story — a sinful woman weeps at Jesus' feet, and Jesus lifts her up)
Day 4 — The Cost of Walking Away John 6:60–71 (many disciples desert Jesus; Peter says "where else would we go?") Hebrews 3:7–15 (the warning against hardening your heart when you hear his voice)
Day 5 — Seeking and Finding Jeremiah 29:13 (you will find me when you seek me with all your heart) John 14:1–14 (Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life — the closing declaration of your sermon) Luke 24:13–35 (the road to Emmaus — Jesus revealed to two who didn't recognize him)
