Luke 10:38-42

Listen to Luke 10:38-42
38 As they continued their travel, Jesus entered a village. A woman by the name of Martha welcomed him and made him feel quite at home.
39 She had a sister, Mary, who sat before the Master, hanging on every word he said.
40 But Martha was pulled away by all she had to do in the kitchen. Later, she stepped in, interrupting them. "Master, don't you care that my sister has abandoned the kitchen to me? Tell her to lend me a hand."
41 The Master said, "Martha, dear Martha, you're fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing.
42 One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it - it's the main course, and won't be taken from her."

One Thing is Needed Part 2
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.
