    Learn from the lesson of Mary and Martha. Be steadfast in your obligations and fulfill your responsibilities. But do so out of a sense of appreciation for wonder and beauty of God’s love. Be careful about being distracted by too many obligations. Be f

    Obligation or Love? (Luke 10:38-42) Introduction I remember one Sunday morning when I was serving as the Associate Pastor of a Community Church in Dunedin in Florida.

    This is for people who are searching for something in their life and they are unsure of what it is.

    Did you know that you were a “searcher”? That’s also the way the Bible describes the human condition - our condition - yours and mine. We are searchers, on the move, wandering and looking. The Old Testament is filled with marvelous stories of searchers. Abraham and Sarah left their home to ...read more

    This is the story of Mary and Martha. What is our duty - to be a Mary or a Martha?

    What is Your Duty? Luke 10:38-42 July 22, 2007 For the past couple of years, I have been preoccupied with retirement. If you have spent any time around me at all, you know how I talk about our retirement plans all the time. I am eight years away from retirement – perhaps eleven – depending on ...read more

    If we put Jesus first, then others, and then ourselves, we will be able to spend time at his feet, learning his Word in our lives. Otherwise, we become like Martha in today’s Gospel passage: busy, but not blessed.

    Other Scriptural passages: Genesis 18:1-10a(10b-14) Colossians 1:21-29 Psalm 15 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

    Friday, July 14, 2006 Focus#2 LUKE 10 Binoculars last week and we found out they were out of focus, and inward correction was needed. We also discovered if you just wanted the binoculars for a paper weight, to hold something down, focus was not a high priority nor is it needed. We discovered this ...read more

    Are you listening to God or worrying about every little thing? See how Martha’s life of worrying was not necessary in this sermon.

    CAN YOU HEAR GOD NOW? Scripture Texts: Luke 10:38-42; Matthew 6:25-34; and Philippians 4:6-9, verse 19, Psalms 10:4, 14:2 and 27:8 Can you Hear God NOW?

    Work gets overwhelming. The people we work with seem hurtful and self serving. Yet, work is a place where we live out our faith--a setting where we must learn to be more Christlike.

    This passage about Mary and Martha is familiar to many of you. It is fairly well known. It is a story about one women working in the kitchen and making preparations to entertain guests while her sister is involved in spiritual pursuits and assisting directly in the ministry of Jesus. And, when the ...read more

    This sermon challenges us to consider who our neighbor really is and what we can do for him or her. It implores us to think about our community and not just our programs as a church.

    IMPACT! Do you ever wonder what kind of an impact you have on your family, friends or people in general? Do you stop to consider how your life matters in this world? Life is precious. It is a gift from God. And every one of us matters to someone. But sometimes I stop and ...read more

    LIFE-TIME LUKE: 10:38-42 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. ...read more

    This message followed up one on the Biblical Bridal Paradigm, and reflected on the motivation of living and participating in ministry out of love.

    (Opened with a homemade "YouTube" video to the Toby Mac hit, "Made to Love") Last week we explored our love relationship with God. This idea of a “holy romance” through such long standing hymns of the faith as “And Can It Be” and “My Saviour’s Love” and “My Jesus I Love Thee.” This week, it is a ...read more

    Three principles from the classic Mary/Martha story in Luke 10 to help us slow down the pace of life and learn to walk with God day-by day.

    Futurist David Zach called what we do “hyperliving.” We want to do more and more things in less and less time. Some of us carry around planners as tall as Terminal Tower. We say things like. “OK kids, let’s see who can take a bath fastest!” We buy time saving gadgets and don’t have the time to ...read more

    Amidst the busyness of secular and Christian life, God is calling us to be still and know that He is God.

    ***It should be noted that parts of this sermon have come from the fantastic resource Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala.*** My prayer for today is that we would all be challenged. Not that we would come to church expecting to leave feeling warm and fuzzy. But that, at the end of our time ...read more

    Learning from Martha and Mary, find out how to benefit from the quiet times with the Lord.

    Dear family in Christ, do you love the Lord but sometimes get so busy you don’t have much time for Him?
