Mark 14:4

Indignation (n.)--anger or annoyance; provoked by what is perceived as unfair treatment; strong displeasure at something that is considered as unjust, offensive, insulting, or base; righteous anger. 

Watch the feelings that are not expressed:

1. Just because it's not expressed doesn't mean that it's not there.
2. Just because it is not there, does not mean that God did not catch it

Money: 

1. You have to be careful not to worship it 
2. It answers everything, which causes people to associate a value to it, which should be directed to God. (300 pence=300 denari =$25,000) a. When you have a habit of blocking people's honor, you will not reap honor yourself.

1) The Christian Goal is to Bring Forth Fruit

John 15:16
• An easier way to get our needs met, to is to fulfill the engagement 

• The lack of fruit has turned into a hinderance of our prayers
• God wants to answer our prayers, but we need to do what we were ordained to do
Psalm 127:1-5
Genesis 12:2
• God wants you to be a blessing

2) To Have Spiritual Goals/Ambitions
• we all have ambitions, but they are worldly ambitions, they aren't spiritual; we are not spiritually ambitious
• if you decide to move towards being fruitful, you will notice that some of the answers are in your fruit
• The definition of success for a Christian--is that he fulfills what he was chosen and ordained to do (he has brought forth fruit and it has remained)
