    Too Far In Either Direction

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 17, 2010
     | 2,916 views

    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

    Martha and Mary

    WHAT'S THE RUSH? (LUKE 10:38-42) Hong Kong is an extremely busy city. Since arriving in Hong Kong in 2008, I have done my best to keep up, especially for the first year. Every working day, I rushed for the 7:24 am Ma Wan ferry, arriving around 16 minutes (7:40 a.m) later at Tsuen Wan West, ...read more

    Jesus commends a rhythm for life - worship, then work.

    “Renewable Energy: The Rest of the Story” Luke 10:38-42 So with whom do you identify – Martha or Mary? Which one do you like better? I think I agree with the man who replied, “I like Martha best during dinner and I like Mary best after dinner.” It’s almost ...read more

    I was thinking about whether there is just 'one thing' that is most needed in life. So I looked up that phrase…one thing. Here’s what I read in the Gospel of Luke

    A choice to make… Jan. 2, 2011 Intro: - how would you rate your 2010? Good year? Bad year? Physically or spiritually? Do you feel closer to God or does it feel like He’s further away? - do you think you made good choices in 2010? - we’ve just had a busy season, busy ...read more

    Unpacks fellowship with the Lord through Mary & Martha spoken at a funeral of a believer.

    Read the scripture Luke 10:38 -42. The greatest possession I have chosen this passage of Mary and Martha meeting Jesus because the story of these two sisters reminds me a great deal of our dear sister Grace and points us to the greatest possession any person can obtain. From this passage ...read more

    This message is from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    Busyness and productivity are values that seem to be held high in our culture. In fact, these values are looked on quite favorably in the church. We often live as though busyness is next to Godliness. Dr. J. Grant Howard describes our culture this way, “Some people can’t say no. They ...read more

    Service is being in relationship with Jesus (Luke 10:38-42)

    Let us pray: Jesus, be in what I say, and stop me from getting in the way of what you want my sisters and brothers to hear. Help us all to listen to you with our ears, our minds and our hearts, so that your living presence can teach us, renew us and help us to live as children of the Father. ...read more

    One Thing

    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.

    One Thing Luke 10:38 - 42 38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had ...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

    Jesus told Mary that doing good had stopped her from doing the best. Doing good is not enough. God wants us to choose THDE BEST PART.

    Choosing the Best Part Luke 10:38-42 You are very familiar with today’s story... Jesus is visiting at the home of Lazarus and his sisters, Martha and Mary. 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
