    Why did Jesus say that Mary chose the better part.

    Martha, Martha, Martha! Luke 10:38-42 In the middle of Luke’s gospel is this short passage. It seems to stand alone as it does not seem to be closely connected to the passage before it which is the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Following it in Chapter 11 is Luke’s version of the Lord’s prayer. ...read more

    Conditioned To Serve Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 4, 2019
     | 6,426 views

    Conditioned to Serve Matthew 10: 9-15 As we continue to examine the instructions Jesus gave the disciples prior to sending them out to share their faith, we discover additional benefit for our lives and witness as well. While these were sent solely to the house of Israel, prior to Jesus’ death and ...read more
