    Too Far In Either Direction

    Learning from Mary and Martha’s responses, we can see why it is important to maintain a proper balance between discipleship and spiritual work.

    OUR SPIRITUAL LIVES CAN SOMETIMES BE LIKENED TO A PENDULUM OF A CLOCK. ONE DAY OUR FAITH SWINGS FORWARD IN ZEAL AND DESIRE AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT OUR FAITH SWINGS BACKWARD BY THE FORCES OF BUSYNESS AND DISTRACTIONS. IT IS TRULY A FINE BALANCE BETWEEN DOING TOO MUCH FOR GOD AND STEPPING BACK AND ...read more

    Mary and Martha both knew Jesus, but Mary was doing what was more important. Sometimes, we need to spend time dedicated to God, and away from the fast paced, hectic way of the world.

    Distracted, Deaf, and Disturbed Luke 10:38-42 Introduction The story from today’s gospel message centers on the actions of two individuals, Martha and Mary. The Apostle John tells us that Martha and Mary were the sisters of Lazarus and very close to Jesus. It’s ...read more

    The number one priority in life should be seeking the kingdom of God.

    Text: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you….” (Matthew 6:33). The word “seek” means to “look for,” “search for” or “try to find.” All of us have looked for things or ...read more

    Wisdom lies in knowing when to be busy and when to be reflective. Both Martha and Mary wanted the affirmation of Jesus. But it always comes by grace alone.

    Author Sam Keen, in his provocative little book called Apology for Wonder, tells us the lesson he learned as young boy swimming in the Indian River inlet on the Delaware coast. Keen says that swimming there was very tricky, because the outgoing waters from the bay met the incoming tides waves from ...read more

The Bible shows us that Jesus loved this family very much and loved to stay there as often as he had a chance. We know how much Jesus loved ...read more

    Getting to know God must become our single greatest pursuit if we truly want to honor Him with our lives. Mary chose connecting with Jesus above serving. Both are important but one flows out of the other.

    Life is complex but Jesus narrows all of our Christianity down to one needful thing. True worship is like oil in the lantern -you can burn without out it but you cannot sustain the fire.

    Needful Things Luke 10:38-42 Text: Verse 42 This chapter, like every other chapter in the life of the Lord Jesus, is overflowing with activity. Everywhere He went there where multitudes of people calling for His attention. His ministry was teeming with activity. He had to stay up into the wee ...read more
