    Worry is dangerous. Worry can weaken your spirit, soul and body. John 10:10 tells us that the devil is out to destroy; this is his mission in life. Worry is a perfect tool for him to carry out this mission.

    Text: Luke 10:38-41 It is natural or part of human nature to be concerned about unpleasant situations in our lives, family, church and nation. For example, in 1 Samuel 10:2, the Bible tells us that when the donkeys of Kish the father of Saul, were missing and he sent Saul to go and look for them, ...read more

    The account of Martha and Mary teaches us about the priority of the word of God in the life of every believer.

    Scripture After his ministry in Galilee, which lasted about two years, Jesus “set his face to go to Jerusalem” (Luke 9:51). On his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus taught his disciples many lessons. We learn about one of those lessons in the account of Martha and Mary in Luke ...read more

    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

    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.

    A comparision between our actions around Christmas to that of Mary and Martha.

    How many of you have braved the malls and stores through the busy times this Christmas season? I think you will agree that it can be a very hectic and stressful time for both our bodies and for our checkbooks. I have heard a number of stories from people telling me this.

    What God Wants Most

    Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jan 24, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,965 views

    The point here is not that Martha’s activities are bad. The choice Jesus discusses with Martha is between something that is good and something that is better. Life is full of tough choices, and Jesus is addressing the relative merit of good activities her

    What God Wants Most Luke 10:25-42 Suppose you have to choose between two people who want to go to dinner with you. The first is very warm and takes a genuine interest in others. He listens attentively and is fun to be with. Those who develop a friendship with him want it to last a lifetime. In ...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

    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
