Luke 10:38-42

Listen to Luke 10:38-42

Jesus visits Martha and Mary

38 While Jesus and his disciples were traveling, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed him as a guest.

39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his message.

40 By contrast, Martha was preoccupied with getting everything ready for their meal. So Martha came to him and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to prepare the table all by myself? Tell her to help me."

41 The Lord answered, " Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things.

42 One thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the better part. It won't be taken away from her."

Teach Us to Listen

Jill Briscoe

One of the things that matters most to Jesus is our personal relationship with Him. This matters to Him even when it doesn’t matter to us! He offers the human race an incredible invitation. He says, “Let’s talk.” What does this mean? It involves listening to His Word and responding in prayer.

One Thing is Needed Part 2

John Randall

Imagine having Jesus over for dinner? How do you think you’d react? Perhaps you’d instantly go into work mode… cleaning house, preparing an excellent feast and making sure He’s comfortable and well served. While all of that is great, we’ll learn the value of simply sitting at His feet and listening to Him. Pastor John draws our attention to a couple of sisters who took very different approaches to the Lord when He came over for dinner.
