Luke 10:38-42

Listen to Luke 10:38-42

38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

39 And she had a sister called Mary. who, sitting also at the Lord’s feet, heard his word.

40 But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? Speak to her therefore, that she help me.

41 And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful and art troubled about many things:

42 But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.

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.

What's Got You Busy? - C

Jack Hibbs

We think we’re doing something important by worrying about it. We often abandon God right in the middle of an issue. We only benefit by doing what pleases God. Instead, we stumble through our prayers, too distracted to even notice when He answers.
