Luke 10:38-42

Listen to Luke 10:38-42

38 As they pursued their journey He came to a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed Him to her house.

39 She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's feet and listened to His teaching.

40 Martha meanwhile was busy and distracted in waiting at table, and she came and said, "Master, do you not care that my sister is leaving me to do all the waiting? Tell her to assist me."

41 "Martha, Martha," replied Jesus, "you are anxious and worried about a multitude of things;

42 and yet only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion and she shall not be deprived of it."

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.

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.
