    At The Feet Of Jesus

    Contributed by Greg Warren on Mar 19, 2013

     | 13,538 views

    This sermon was a part of a series I did during our church's annual 21-day church-wide fast. We were looking at different elements of a fast. This message focuses on a fast as a time to simply sit at the feet of Jesus and enjoy His presence.

    Today I want to take a closer look at the life of a woman we meet in the Bible. She seems to have this “intimacy with God” thing figured out about as well as anyone. Her name is Mary. And the interesting thing about Mary is where you often find her in relation to Jesus in various ...read more

    July 21, 2013 Making of an Apostle Jesus is walking through a town, when He sees that the townspeople are about to stone a woman. He asks, “Why are you going to stone her?” A voice comes from somewhere in the crowd that proclaims, “Because she is a sinner.” Jesus ...read more

    Balance In The Book

    We are called to be a balanced Church. We must achieve a balance between service and worship. The story of Martha and Mary focuses on finding that balance.

    There was a person who lost their daily planner awhile back. It contained all of their contact addresses, their calendar, to-do list, and monthly reminders. It even held their personal credit card information and expenses for the past year. They were devastated. Not as much for the loss of their ...read more

    “There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her” Luke 10:42.

    Theme: Make the right choice Text: Gen. 18:1-10; Col. 1:15-28; Lk. 10:38-42 Life is all about making choices and what happens to us depends on the choices we make. The choice of what to eat and drink, the choice to go to school, the choice to take drugs, the choice of who to marry and the choice ...read more

    The Better Part

    Just like a rip-current in the ocean can pull us away from shore, we must deepen our relationship with Jesus so that the things of this world do not pull us away from God.

    We hear the stories every summer about people who are enjoying a time at the beach only to end up getting caught in the strong grasp of a rip current. These strong channels of water in the water can drag swimmers away from the shore with alarming speed and strength. The same is true for a ...read more

    Being Mindful Of The One Thing

    Being mindfully present in the moment helps us discern the one thing worty being concerned about.

    Life is filled with distractions (from within and without…) Title: Being Mindful of the One Thing Text: Luke 10:38-42 (Reference the context: In 10:25-20 Jesus shared the Great Commandment to love God and neighbor; in 10:30-37 Jesus taught on what it means to love one’s neighbor; and ...read more

    This sermon looks at how we can become distracted from seeking Jesus.

    Are You A Mary or A Martha? 38 Now as they were traveling along, He (Jesus) entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and ...read more

    Martha, Martha, You're Not So Bad

     | 20,536 views

    Often overshadowed by her sister Mary, Martha is often marginalized as an undesirable example of for disciples. However, when examined through the lens of scripture and not popular Christian books, Martha shines through as an example for all godly women.

    When I survey the women of the New Testament, I find some remarkable women of faith, Mary the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38) is the first to come to mind. But, there are others, such as Joanna, Susanna and Mary Magalene (Luke 8:1-3). Later on, I read about Priscilla who, along with her husband, ...read more

    Mary Chose The Necessary Part

    Many today find Christ in their knowledge (or service) but having very little room for Jesus in their busy and hectic lives: that is in heart (in worship).

    Mary Chose the Necessary Part Text Passage: Luke 10:38-42- (38) Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. (39) And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. (41) ...read more

    Conflict is inevitable. Watch your heart in a conflict. Focus on the heart of the matter. Seek to please the heart of Christ.

    Just like to share with you a funny story at the start. A man was stranded all alone on the desert island for years before he was finally rescued. His rescuers asked him what the 3 huts were that he had built on the island. It’s perplexing for one man to have 3 structures. He said one ...read more

    Good & Best In The Kingdom Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 12, 2013
     | 5,190 views

    In Prioritizing the Word of God, we must be : 1) Devoted to the Best (Luke 10:38-39), without settling for and being: 2) Distracted from the Good (Luke 10:40-42).

    The word “priority” is a commonly used one today. Books and seminars purporting to teach people how get their lives in order by understanding and setting their priorities abound. As people’s lives become more frenetic, frantic, disjointed, and disconnected, they battle to stay ...read more

    We need to take time to be with Jesus and listen; slow down and be in His presence

    "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be ...read more

    Why did Jesus say that Mary chose the better part.

    Martha, Martha, Martha! Luke 10:38-42 In the middle of Luke’s gospel is this short passage. It seems to stand alone as it does not seem to be closely connected to the passage before it which is the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Following it in Chapter 11 is Luke’s version of the Lord’s prayer. ...read more
