Mary & Martha: What Really Matters

Passage: Luke 10:38-42

Preacher: Ethan Wentzlaff

Series:Extraordinary Women of the Bible

Summary:

In this powerful message from Preacher Ethan, we explore the story of Mary and Martha from Luke 10:38-42, discovering the importance of balancing service and devotion in our spiritual lives. We're reminded that while serving God is crucial, it's equally vital to prioritize our relationship with Jesus. The speaker challenges us to examine what truly matters in our faith journey, emphasizing the need for consistency in character, offering peace to others, and cultivating humility. We're encouraged to reflect on our motivations for serving and to avoid the pitfall of comparing ourselves to others in our spiritual walk. Ultimately, the message calls us to be dedicated to our discipleship, spending quality time at Jesus' feet through prayer, Bible study, and fellowship with other believers.

Detail:

Mary and Martha show us that...

1.  We need to be driven by our devotion.
       •  Be consistent in character.
       •  Be a place of peace.
       •  Have humility.

2.  Our deeds can be a distraction.
     Mistakes we make while serving
       •  We don't do it.
       •  We constantly compare.
       •  We focus on the work and forget the worship.

Most importantly, we are reminded to be dedicated to our discipleship.
