    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

    It is impossible to be victorious in the Christian life without focus.

    FOCUS Luke 10:38-42 Video clip from “Hook” (first 5 minutes). Beginning with daughters play...ending when he answers his cell phone at the ball field. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, we don’t seem to focus our time on the things that are most important. Joke: In 1990, a ...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

    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

    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.
