Joe Harwood had a head start on becoming an owner of yacht clubs and marinas on Grand Lake. Joe was introduced to lake life because his father loved lakes and boating. It was during a summer break from college that Joe's first job was at Bomar's Marina on Grand Lake.After graduating he went to work full-time at the marina where he sold, repaired boats, and pumped gas. As a child, Joe dreamed about owning a marina. The dream came true when he purchased Arrowhead Yacht Club in 1982.He also developed Bomar's Marina into Arrowhead South Marina and, in 2007, he became the owner of Cherokee Yacht Club all in Duck Creek. His ownership has expanded to other marinas including Beaver Lake, Arkansas.Listen to Joe's oral history interview as he talks about Grand Lake in the 50s, his purchase of two yacht clubs, the fireworks show, and the GRDA on the podcast and website VoicesOfOklahoma.com.

SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS, based on the 1964 film and adapted/produced/directed by Pete Lutz Martians are worried that their children are being influenced by Earth trends, so they visit the planet's wise man, who tells them that they should let their children be children, and the Earthling Santa Claus isn't such a bad thing, so their decision is to travel to Earth and kidnap the jolly old elf. The original film has been described as one of the worst films ever made, and as a result has been spoofed by theatrical companies all over the U.S. Well, the Narada Radio Company is no exception -- originally planned for a live production in December of 2024, Murphy's Law held true and strong, so they recorded it in the director's living room instead, and said director edited the voice tracks on Saturday, December 21st, and mixed all of the music and SFX on Sunday, December 22nd. Now, if you don't like the finished product...the director wishes you a very Merry Christmas. This play would not have been possible without the following voice talents: Mario Aguilar as Kimar Cassie Blackwell as Cowgirl Imelda, Winky, and Girmar Dana Gonsalves as Santa Claus, Slobo, and Martian Foreman Pete Lutz as Cowboy Dennis, Cho-Chim and Dr. Werner von Green Lisa McGrew as News Anchor, Hargo, Martian and Elf Pam Pailes as Radio Announcer and Momar Dawn Robertson as Betty and Mrs. Claus Merilee Robinson as Billy and Dennis's Maw Richard Robinson as Dropo Carl Thomas as Henderson, Lomas and Torg Bobby Vela as Announcer and Rigna Tammy Weidemann as Bomar and Shim, and Nick Wommack as Kid-TV announcer and Voldar Certain music passages by Dr. Ross Bernhardt; other music sourced from the public domain.

Book Background and Proverbs 1:1-7 PreambleAuthor and Purpose:Proverbs tells us that King Solomon was not only the author, but more importantly the collector of thewisdom contained in Proverbs. Because God used the most powerful man of the time, it's accuracy andcompleteness is ensured. It is also why the Book of Proverbs is generally attributed to him. Some of themany sources that Solomon gathered from include Hezekiah's men (25:1) as well as the collection ofsayings from those known as “the wise” (22:17-24:24) and from the oracles of Agur (30:1-33) as well asLemuel (31:10-31)Solomon 1 :Solomon, King of Israel (שְׁלֹמֹה, shelomoh). Son of David and Bathsheba. King of Israel. Reigned in the 10th centurybc (ca. 970/60–930/20).OverviewSolomon was the third king of the Israelite monarchy, after Saul and David. His reign probably began inapproximately 960 bc (Sweeney, 1 & 2 Kings, 1). Second Samuel 12:24–25 indicates that he is the son of Bathsheba,though she is not mentioned by this name in Chronicles (1 Chr 3:5 lists a Bathshua, who was likely the same person).In 1 Chr 22:9, Solomon's name is said to have derived from שָׁלוֹם (shalom), translated as “peace.” However, this is notmentioned in the account of Solomon's birth in 2 Sam. Solomon's name may have derived instead from שִׁלֵּם (shillem),meaning “to replace, restore,” indicating that Solomon is a replacement for the child David and Bathsheba lost(McCarter, 2 Samuel, 303Preamble: Proverbs 1:1-7Proverbs 1:1–7 (ESV)1 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:2 To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight,3 to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;4 to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth—5 Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,6 to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles.1 Grafius, B. (2016). Solomon, King of Israel. In J. D. Barry, D. Bomar, D. R. Brown, R. Klippenstein, D. Mangum, C. Sinclair Wolcott, … W.Widder (Eds.), The Lexham Bible Dictionary.

Sarah is excited to be sharing another special interview as she had the opportunity to record an episode with one of her real-life close friends, Megan Bomar. ⚠️ Before you listen, we do want to give you a trigger warning for this episode. Murder and crime are discussed in this conversation. ⚠️ Megan is originally from Iowa and after attending GCU decided to put roots down here in Arizona. She was raised Catholic but became a Christian as a high schooler and has walked with the Lord ever since. Megan works as a middle school special needs teacher and has been regularly attending Desert Springs for the past five years. She met Sarah in a Connect Group shortly after graduating college and they developed a friendship after Megan was challenged to meet five new people for coffee. Megan met her husband Tate when a friend from college attempted to set them up through FaceTime and though it was kind of funny at first, they realized they had a connection and soon began talking non-stop over messages. You'll hear Megan sweetly recount their early dating months and how they knew they wanted to be together even as she was preparing to spend some time teaching in Thailand. They were married in November 2019. Like many married couples their first year of marriage had its challenges but overall, it was a great year filled with fun experiences and great conversations. They also had taken a lot of time to be intentional with their family and friends, taking their relationships to a deeper level. On November 29th, 2020, Megan's life was very suddenly changed forever. Late on that Sunday night Tate told Megan that he needed to go help a friend who was struggling. This began a tragic series of events that would ultimately bring about Tate's death. Megan walks us through what the next 72 hours looked like as she discovered things she was unaware of and how she came to know that her husband had died. She was soon face to face with the fact that at age 27 she had become a widow. We so appreciate Megan's openness and vulnerability in sharing this part of her life. There is a lot to be learned from the way she has leaned into the Lord and community through the last three years. You will be amazed as she details God's hand in her life and where she is at now. Megan gives practical advice for someone going through a time of grieving and Sarah also gives advice about being a friend to someone who is grieving. We trust and pray that God will continue to see Megan through this chapter of her life.

 I know I know I haven't put out an episode in a while, please forgive me. Since my last episode I have moved to another state, South Carolina, started a new businesses, and continued to father my three little girls, which turns out to me quite a task. Needless to say, I'm coming out of my hiding hole to release this episode. It was too special not to share with yall. I think deep down many of us have a deep dread that we will learn we have terminal cancer and that our time on earth is about to be cut short. Especially when we are raising a young family. Well, what you are about to hear is a very candid conversation with my dear friend Caitlin Bomar who just recently learned she has stage 4 breast cancer and likely a very limited time left to live. Caitlin, as of this recording, is 35 years old, married, and, like me, has three young daughters.  The oldest is four. You'll get to hear them as they come sit on her lap as we chat.  Among other things, this episode is her telling me how this diagnosis has affected her and what she has learned so far in this dying process. It's a raw story about faith, dying, and metamorphosis. I think you'll take a lot away from it.  I am so thankful for Caitlin's candor and the perspective she brings. It certainly seems to trivialize most challenges in my daily life lately. Caitlin seems to almost welcome death, now that she has had a few months to process it, and I admire her courage and optimism. As always, thanks for listening, and please share this with someone who needs to hear this story.

Episode 69 -  Unscrambling Christ's Easy YokeFeb 16, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallIn this episode we attempt to unscramble Christ's easy yoke. When Jesus offered rest to the weary and heavy-laden, He harnessed a yoke to His offer. Throughout the Bible, yokes are closely associated with the work of slavery and unfortunately, Christ's yoke has been mixed-up and misunderstood by many. So, let's try unscramble this one. Resources Referenced and/or Read:Garrett, J. K. (2016). Yoke. In J. D. Barry, D. Bomar, D. R. Brown, R. Klippenstein, D. Mangum, C. Sinclair Wolcott, L. Wentz, E.

Rethinking Scripture PodcastEpisode 50: Acts 6 - Living SacrificesJuly 25, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall In act 6, we read about a problem in the early days of the church. Some widows in the church were being overlooked by other church members. And it turns out it was an ethnic issue. The locals weren't getting along with those from out of town. In this episode we'll look a little deeper into the problem and try to connect their solution back to a story in the book of numbers.Resources Referenced and/or Read:Newman, B. M., & Nida, E. A.

In June of 1996, a 22-year-old college lacrosse player had a casual night out with friends at a bar in suburban Philadelphia. But on her way home, she disappeared. Shortly after leaving the bar, her car was found running with the driver's side door open on an Interstate, painting a violent attack. After an important tip came in from a local woman, a concrete suspect emerged, and it turns out, he had other victims. This is the story of Aimee Willard.

How to Receive Glory from God Intro I remember in High School I wanted to be recognized and popular. One important ingredient for success is whom you associate with. There were some nice guys who lived near me who wanted to hang out. However, they didn't come with any social currency. In fact, it would cost me socially to hang out with them. So what I did was avoid them and made up excuses when they wanted to hang out. My plan didn't work out. I didn't end up being popular and I missed out on some sweet friendships. Glory-seeking cost me. Tension Most of us understand that there is something wrong about trying to seize honor and attention and elevate yourself above others. Yet, all of us have a desire for recognition. The question I want to ask this morning is, Is there a legitimate way to receive glory in God's kingdom and how can we go about it? Or is it always wrong to desire to receive honor and we should avoid it? Let's take a look at our text to find out. If you are visiting, we are so happy you are here and I trust God's word will speak to you as well. There's two parts of our text today. Jesus is at the banquet of a Pharisee in both of them. In the first one, he will heal on the Sabbath again. Since Luke has brought that example up a handful of times, we will move quickly through this part. In the second part, Jesus talks about the right way to receive honor; that's where we will spend most of our time. Revelation Luke 14:1 ESV 1 One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully. As is so often the case in Luke, he is sharing a meal with someone. This meal is on the Sabbath, so, essentially, Jesus went out to lunch with folks after church.[1] However, this lunch is not going to go how lunches after church usually go. There's going to be some serious conflict. We already know from previous events in Luke that Jesus and the Pharisees don't get along, especially on the Sabbath. So here we have yet another conflict brewing as Jesus dines with these Pharisees on the Sabbath. Luke also leaves us a foreboding detail, “they were watching him closely,” it seems as if they are trying to catch Jesus doing something. Luke 14:2 ESV 2 And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. Suddenly someone shows up whose presence is going to bring the conflict into the open. Luke uses the word “behold,” to draw attention to this man. He had dropsy, which is a medical condition in which fluid builds up in your body and causes it to swell.[2] Then Jesus says, Luke 14:3 ESV 3 And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” The conflict, as before, comes down to Jesus healing on the Sabbath. Healing on the Sabbath breaks the Pharisee's religious law. Yet, this particular issue shows the spiritual deadness in the Pharisees since God had never forbid healing on the Sabbath, and here they are opposing God in the flesh for doing something that was totally allowable, all in the name of obeying God. Luke 14:4 ESV 4 But they remained silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away. Although they disagree with Jesus's healing, they remain silent. He had just put them to shame in chapter 13 for their views on the Sabbath, so maybe that's why they don't have anything to say. Luke 14:5 ESV 5 And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?” Jesus makes the same argument he had before. “You don't fail to preserve and promote life on the Sabbath, so why should I? You act “immediately” to rescue children and animals, so why can't I?” You rescue your children and animals that fall into the water, so why can't I rescue this man filling up with water?[3] Luke 14:6 ESV 6 And they could not reply to these things. They lacked any kind of answer to Jesus's point because he had clearly exposed their hypocrisy. He showed them how even in their rule keeping, they still found a way to have hearts opposed to God (this is an idea we will get to more in chapter 15). As an uneasy silence hangs over the room, Jesus begins to teach, and expose their sinful hearts all the more: Luke 14:7 ESV 7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, A “parable” is an illustration meant to teach. It uses something familiar to teach about something unfamiliar.[4] Luke says Jesus taught them a Parable “when he noticed how they chose the places of honor.” Jesus has flipped the tables now. The Pharisees were previously watching him, but now he is observing them.[5] Jesus is going to go further in exposing their sinful hearts that oppose him and his work. This is a generous act of Jesus. When Jesus exposes our sin, it's a gift. If he doesn't and we don't become convicted, then we won't repent. This is a severe mercy for these dinner guests. What had Jesus noticed? He had noticed that when people arrived for the banquet, they had sought the most distinguished seats, closest to the host.[6] These are the seats where they would get the most attention, the most eyes would be on them. They would make them seem to be more important than the other guests at the feast. Jesus directs his parable at this situation, Luke 14:8–9 ESV 8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, 9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. Jesus points out an example of shame that accompanies this kind of honor seeking. Someone competes for the most honor for himself by taking the best seat available. Rather than retaining that position, the host notices someone more honorable than that man. He comes and asks him to move seats to make room and he ends up taking the lowest seat of all. What transpired here? He ends up in the lowest place by trying to seize honor for himself. This is a temptation we all face: to try to seize honor for ourselves (even those of us who are already in Christ). I'm guessing not many of us have been in the situation where you are competing for the best seat at a banquet. So, this heart defect is going to show up in different ways in our culture. What are some ways we can fall into the trap of glory-seeking? (1) Who do you gravitate towards in conversation? It feels like honor for us to talk to more distinguished, more respected people, so we tend to seek out these people in social situations. Pay attention to this, and ask yourself if there is a certain kinds of people you show partially toward in conversation. (2) What do you tend to talk about in conversation? Do you find subtle (or not so subtle ways) to weave details into the conversation about yourself that make you seem impressive? There is nothing wrong about talking about parts of your life that are important, but, do you try to move the conversation in ways that lead to you disclosing impressive-sounding things about yourself, or making intelligent sounding comments that make you seem impressive? (3) How do you use social media? There is a legitimate way to use social media to inform others about your life in healthy ways. Yet, that can easily morph into curating a false version of yourself as happy and successful, and you go through labor to maintain this depiction of yourself online. In all of these examples I shared, there is the common denominator of seeking attention. Just as these people were seeking attention by trying to be at the center of the room at the host's side, we tend to do the same. Attention seeking and glory seeking go hand in hand. I noticed that I can fall into this trap just as easily as any of you. I have several opinions about culture that are not-conventional. Someone could use the term “controversial.” There's nothing wrong with having opinions that differ from the mainstream. However, I tend to share those opinions in ways that intentionally stir the pot. Why do I like to do this? Attention. I found I can get more intention by shocking or irritating people with my views. This is also a kind of glory-seeking where I try to make social interactions about me rather than others. Where does this man in the parable end up? Not just in a “lower” seat, but in the “lowest” seat. A life of glory-seeking always ends up in failure and shame. For those of you who are familiar with Jesus's parables, you know that Jesus is not trying to teach us how to secure the best seat for ourselves as a feast. He's teaching us about how to relate to God. In other words, how we are relating to others in day to day life is revealing how we are relating to God. Whether we seek to seize glory from others or to honor them reveals our hearts toward God. I like this text so much because it shows that the way our hearts are relating to the king of the world manifests in how we treat others in ordinary, day to day life. And, the demotion of the man at the feast represents the ultimate and eternal demotion anyone who spends their life glory-seeking. Yet, Jesus presents an alternative to glory-seeking, Luke 14:10 ESV 10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. Jesus commends the opposite of the inclination of our flesh. He advises that instead of trying to obtain honor from others, that we instead seek to give it away, to let others have it. What happens in the parable to the person who voluntarily takes the lowest seat? The host comes and finds them, and elevates them to a higher seat in the site of all. Again, Jesus's point is not to show us how to get places of honor at a banquet. He's teaching us how to receive honor from his Father. His Father will honor anyone who gives honor away rather than trying to seize it. One question you can always ask in any interaction is: “how would I behave if I really believed this other person was more significant than me? I think that's something that we are able to imagine. I'll just point to one more concrete example: our culture is at a severe deficit when it comes to question asking. It can be rare to have someone else ask you a question. Yet, if you were to approach someone else with the intention of honoring them, you would ask them questions. One way in our culture to give someone else the “seat of honor” is to ask them meaningful questions. Then Jesus gives the ultimate reason (see the word “for”) why we should try to give honor away to others rather than seek it for ourselves, Luke 14:11 ESV 11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” The reason we should try to give glory away instead of seeking it for ourselves is because of the way God responds. In the gospel of Luke, God has already made it clear that he was sending Jesus to cast down the proud and lift up the lowly. Mary (Jesus's mother) says in her song in the beginning of Luke, Luke 1:52 ESV 52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; God loves to humble the proud, and he loves to lift up the humble. Why is that? What we find in the Scriptures is God's purpose of glorifying himself above all. Isaiah 2:11 says, Isaiah 2:11 ESV 11 The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day. Did you catch that? The Lord “alone” will be exalted in that day. God's work in casting down the proud is connected to him receiving glory alone. We worship a god who alone deserves glory and praise. He's that big. Imagine for a moment the greatest being you can think of. Whatever you just thought of is way smaller than God. Here is Isaiah 6:1-3: In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” Every time we try to receive honor above others, we are communicating something to God: I belong on the throne. They are subtle attempts to redirect the glory that belongs to God to ourselves. In essence, the pursuit to glorify yourself is to be a “glory-thief..” This is why James 4:6 says, James 4:6 (ESV) 6 “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”[7] God only opposes the proud because they have already set themselves in opposition to himself. On the other hand, God loves to “give grace to the humble.” Or, as Jesus says, “he who humbles himself will be exalted.” The humble are those who do not seek glory, but who seek to give it away, to God and to others. God loves to exalt these people because their attitude toward him is right. The humble recognize that the honor and the glory rightly belong to God, and so they seek to offer it all up to him. In the Christian life, other people who are made in the image of God serve as place holders for a God we cannot see. To show them honor in the name of God is a way to show God honor. This is why a high regard for God will show up in a high regard for others. This is why the humble will treat others as more significant than themselves. God loves to show honor to such people because they are not trying to take glory from God. They don't conceive of themselves as big and God as small, but God as big and themselves as small. And here is the great irony in it all: when we stop trying to seek glory for ourselves, and gladly give it up to God, he gladly shares his glory with us. The phrase from verse 10, “then you will be honored in the presence of all.” A more direct translation of those words are, “and it will be glory to you before all.” God loves to raise up and glorify those who are not trying to take glory from him but gladly give it to him. This leads us again to our main point this morning: The only way to receive glory is to give it away. What this means is that in the age to come, others will recognize you as valuable, important, and worthwhile, but never more than God, or apart from God, but only because of God. The glory you receive from God will also draw all attention back to God who gives it to you. So still your purpose will be to give God glory. I want to share a story about how truly beautiful it is when we give honor to others: George Whitefield and John Wesley were the two leaders of the first Great Awakening in the mid 1700's. God used them to bring thousands upon thousands into his kingdom in the British Isles and America in a time of godlessness. During the course of their ministries, Whitefield and Wesley entered into conflict over some big points of theology. Wesley, especially, responded to Whitefield in uncharitable ways. Nevertheless, Wesley was the one who got to preach the message of Whitefield's funeral. Here is where the story I want to share picks up (I first read this story in Dalimore's biography of Whitefield): One day, after Whitefield's decease, John Wesley was timidly approached by one of the godly band of Christian sisters who had been brought under his influences and who loved both Whitefield and himself. "' Dear Mr. Wesley, may I ask you a question?' "' Yes, of course, madam, by all means.' "' But, dear Mr. Wesley, I am very much afraid what the answer will be.' "' Well, madam, let me hear your question, and then you will know my reply.' "At last, after not a little hesitation, the inquirer tremblingly asked, ' Dear Mr. Wesley, do you expect to see dear Mr. Whitefield in heaven?' "A lengthy pause followed, after which John Wesley replied with great seriousness, 'No, madam.' "His inquirer at once exclaimed, 'Ah, I was afraid you would say so.' "To which John Wesley added, with intense earnestness, ' Do not misunderstand me, madam; George Whitefield was so bright a star in the firmament of God's glory, and will stand so near the throne, that one like me, who am less than the least, will never catch a glimpse of him.'" It is a beautiful, beautiful thing when we defer honor to others instead of horde it for our selves. Wesley's attitude of considering himself “less than the least” is something I want to strive for. Such acts of humbling oneself and showing honor to others are so beautiful because they reflect the greatest instance of this in history: Later in Luke, he records the following about the death of Christ, Luke 23:34-37 Luke 23:34–37 ESV 34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. 35 And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!” 36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine 37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” While Jesus was dying, they were mocking him, treating him without any honor at all. Yet, in that very moment he was seeking their forgiveness, and treating them as more significant than himself. This moment of Jesus serving sinners brought more glory and honor to God than any other. And this is why Jesus will receive the highest amount of glory in the age to come. Phil 2:9-11 Philippians 2:9–11 ESV 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. If you don't know this Jesus yet, I invite you to talk to me or any member after the service. For those of us who do know him, God has called us into the same amazing pattern of life. In Jesus, we get to give glory away and to receive it back from God in greater measure. What I'm so blown away by is how this huge principle that God's glory is above all gets worked out in things as ordinary as our relationships with one another and our neighbors. If we believe God is most glorious of all, we will treat people differently. It's precisely living out these huge truths about God that will make our community feel supernatural. Where in the world can you find a place that where people truly seek to defer honor to others rather than take it for themselves? Our community will feel more heavenly if we embrace showing honor to others rather than seeking it ourselves. We will feel at home and unbelievers will want it to be their home. It's a surprising and wonderful thing when you meet a group of people who are more curious to know about you than they are to impress you or ignore you. This is precisely the kind of place the gospel of Christ can turn this place into all the more. Church, to answer the question raised at the beginning, how can you legitimately receive glory in God's kingdom? The answer is: The only way to receive glory is to give it away. [1] Green, J. B.

Ross Tenneson preaches from Luke 13:1-9. You Have to Die If You Want to Live Connection/Tension We are still in the heart of Jesus's teaching and ministry as he ventures toward Jerusalem. This text serves as a climax to the teaching Jesus has been giving the last few weeks, warning people to prepare for his second coming and judgement.[1] These texts right here in the middle of Luke have been pretty weighty haven't they? Jesus teaches with such weight and gravity because the stakes are so high for each one of us. Our response to God in this life will reverberate for eternity. So, Jesus is direct and clear because the situation calls for it. Jesus talks about repentance in this story which is something as Christians we are all eager to do. Yet, it's easier said than done. Repentance is something we all want to do, but struggle to follow through with. I had an addition to inappropriate content on the internet, and it took me almost a decade to repent from that. One question I want to ask this evening is: how can we repent when it's hard? (When it feels like our sin has a fish hook in our mouths). Jesus is going to call us to repentance in this passage and teach us more about what it is in a parable he teaches. Along the way, he will give us power to do what we all want to do more of but struggle. Let's jump into our passage, Heading 1 Revelation Luke 13:1 ESV 1 There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. Jesus is in the midst of speaking with crowds of people about his return, the final judgement, and the need every person has to get right with him. As people so often do, they bring up an unrelated topic from what Jesus was talking about. Apparently, it was what was on their minds, so they share it with Jesus. What did they share with Jesus? A tragedy had happened in Jerusalem recently. Some Galileans, people from Jesus's hometown, had made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices.[2] This would have been a great moment in their lives as they got to see the temple and approach God's dwelling place on Earth. Perhaps they had been anticipating this moment for many years. Instead of making their sacrifice, they die barbarically at the hands of Pontius Pilate, the Gentile governor over Jerusalem. He kills them and mixes their blood with the blood of their sacrifice, a desecration of God's altar. Their persecution and the desecration of the altar recalls the treatment of the Jews in Daniel and his prophecies about how the nations would mistreat God's people. It makes sense that this atrocity would be on people's minds. Perhaps it's somewhat similar to the way the calamity in Afghanistan had been on some of our minds this week. They come to Jesus and they want to get his take on it. We won't know whether they are horrified and trying to grasp what had happened or trying to get Jesus to comment on a contemporary political event out of curiosity. Yet, how he does respond must have been very surprising: Luke 13:2 ESV 2 And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? Instead of giving them the answer they were expecting, he addresses a misunderstanding on their part. He poses this question to confront their wrong thinking. That's a weighty question. In other words, “do you think the reason those people died and others still live is because they were worse sinners than others.” Such an opinion reflected the common understandings of the day.[3] People tended to attribute suffering and misfortune to people getting what they deserve from God. Job's friends and the way they assumed he had especially sinned because he especially suffered reflect this attitude. Thankfully, not many of us think as explicitly in this manner any more. Few of us would assume that the suffering in Afghanistan or elsewhere is because of specific sins that those people committed. However, I don't think we should be so certain that this attitude doesn't linger on in us. While we would be slow to think such a thought about others, I believe it's our instinct to think in this manner about ourselves. In other words, when my life is going well and my circumstances are good, my God loves me and is nearer to me. On the other hand, when my life is falling apart and my circumstances are poor, God must not love me and is far from me. The error is trying to draw a line of interpretation between a particular event of suffering and God's heart toward a particular person (or yourself). Here is Jesus's warning against that. The way he asks his question sets us up for the rebuke he is about to give. I believe human thinking gravitates in this direction because we like to think we control our own fate. We like to think that by our goodness or wickedness we can get God to respond to us in a certain way. Hence, when things go well for us, we tend to conclude God is for us. When they go poorly, we tend to conclude God is not for us. And every time we think in this manner, we are in error. We must not think we can determine the hidden wisdom of God, or the ultimate plan of God, or the true heart of God from individual events in our lives. We simply don't have the perspective or the wisdom he has. We won't understand all of the facets of God's mysterious plan while we are in this life. Next, Jesus provides the answer to his question, providing a true and better interpretation of these events: Luke 13:3 ESV 3 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. With emphasis, Jesus answers his question: “no!” He interprets this event far differently than commenting on the individual lives of those who perished. Instead, he says, “But unless you repent, you too will all perish.” In other words, the fate of those who died was not informing us about their own sinfulness. It was a reminder to usof all of our sinfulness. The biblical view since that fall of Adam is not that humanity is in two categories: good and bad . Rather, the teaching of the Bible is that since the fall of Adam, all of humanity is in one category: sinners in need of a savior. Jesus then gives another example to further clarify his point: Luke 13:4 ESV 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? The first example was intentional evil committed by a human against others. In Jesus's second example, he includes random accidents that also result in suffering and death. Such an event would seem even more to be an act of God since it happened without any intentional human actor. Certainly, here, the deaths of those who died in the collapsing tower, these ones deserved to die more than those who remained alive. Again, Jesus strongly denies this thinking, Luke 13:5 ESV 5 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” These judgments are not pointing out the particular sinfulness of those who perish in them. Rather, they are pointing to the final judgement where we all will perish unless we repent. Last year, Tom Schreiner (a prominent Bible professor) was commenting on the Coronavirus and what it teaches us about God. Here is what he had to say: “All temporal judgments are meant to direct our attention to final judgement.” The mini-judgments that we see in the world today are not random events. They are warning alarms, they are storm sirens meant to wake us up to the reality of divine judgement. We tend to question the goodness of God when we see these events (“how could a good God let that happen?”). However, we should be marveling at God's goodness that the vast majority of humanity, who deserve judgement today, are instead receiving time to repent. And the judgments that happen around us are not the random acts of an uncaring God, but his strongest urging to his creation to turn from their sin and live. The fact that God caused the sun to rise today on so many people who don't care about him or love him and that He has given them a fresh opportunity to repent is a wonderful miracle. What is one way repent when you are struggling? Remember that final judgement is coming and only repentance delivers us from it. I want to drill deeper into this word “repentance.” That's one of the most important words you will ever hear. With it, you will live forever with God. Without it, you will die apart from him. If there's anything I want to do in my life, it's this: to repent. What does it mean to “repent”? To repent is “to turn” from your old way of living. From pursuing your idols and your sin to pursuing God. It's a renewal at the level of your heart in which you completely surrender to God and give him all of your allegiance. When you repent, you dethrone whatever was your God, and God instead sits on the throne of your heart. Repentance is radical change within from being against God to being for God. There's nothing sweeter, nothing harder, and nothing better than repenting. You might be wondering where “faith” appears in this passage since the Bible so clearly teaches that faith alone is necessary to be right with God. Very simply: true faith and true repentance are inseparable. That's because repentance requires trust. To repent before God is to come before him completely vulnerable and completely surrendered. You could never bow down and offer yourself to someone you thought would harm you rather than receive you. You would only keep running and fleeing from him (or fighting against him). However, when you believe he's good and he alone can help and rescue you, then you come to him in allegiance and surrender. This is why the gospel is necessary for repentance. Friends, Jesus lived and died in our place so that God would freely and joyfully forgive and welcome us. If Jesus did not die on the cross, then we couldn't trust God to forgive us, to welcome us, to restore us. The fact that we can repent, and that there is a good God who will receive our repentance, is owing to nothing less than the blood of Christ. Repentance, the turning away from our sin to God, is the only way we can escape death and live forever with God. All other alternatives, all other attempts at preserving your soul will fail. All human attempts at saving ourselves are futile. There's a movie series that used to be a big deal in the 80's starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator. There's a famous line from the second movie. Arnold comes to rescue Sarah Connor as her deadly nemesis is closing in. Can anyone remember what that line is? “Come with me if you want to live.” Jesus is making as exclusive, as radical of an offer to any who will listen to his voice today, “Come with me if you want to live.” Every other and all other remedies will fail. I have two questions to ask you before we move onto the next portion of this passage: (1) If you are not yet a follower of Jesus, will you repent? Will you do the most radical thing of your life and completely surrender to Jesus? (2) If you are already a follower of Jesus, have you repented yet today? Repentance is what keeps Christianity from being sterile religion and turns it intoa rich relationship with God. The deep level of vulnerability we are talking about here to a person you trust is the essence of what forms an intimate relationship. Is it any mystery that God seems further off when we give in to sin? It's not him who's withdrawing church, it's us. And the answer is to repent. Next, Jesus transitions into a parable that further illuminates what he means by repentance and what repentance means for us, Luke 13:6–7 ESV 6 And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?' Why does Jesus start telling this parable about fruit right after he warns his audience to repent? The gospel of Luke connects repentance and the image of fruit together. Luke 3:8 (ESV) 8 Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. What does the image of fruit teach us about repentance? Fruit on a tree is the outward evidence of a tree with a healthy root. Healthy trees produce healthy fruit. If repentance is the renewing of the root, the changing of the inner person to trust Christ and flee from sin, then the fruit is the outward changes in behavior and lifestyle that go with real repentance. You cannot change your allegiance and not change your actions. Your ultimate allegiances determine your actions, so changing from surrendering to sin to surrendering to Christ will always produce new ways of life to replace old ones. And fruit equals life, right? Fruit comes from life and sustains life in others. Repentance replaces death with life. We can tend to focus almost exclusively on repentance as putting sin to death and think of it as something unpleasant. However, that's only part of repentance. It's also the transforming of behaviors that bring death into behaviors that bring life. Through repentance we become new creations who bring life to others rather than death. A few of us are reading through Rosaria Butterfield's book The Gospel Comes with a House Key. She did the best of anyone I know of of illustrating this point, “Paul knows how deep real repentance goes- how it undoes a sinner and remakes him, and how it leave him raw, vulnerable, and transparent. I imagine Paul— years after the Lord had made him an apostle, years after his days of slaughtering Christians for religious zeal— breaking bread with a fellow believer and recognizing something in the shape of an eye, the turning up of a nose, the tone of a laugh or cry. I also imagine the horror that could have seized him, stopped him, made him gasp for breath. I can feel the recognition: that eye, that nose, that voice, so similar to someone he had murdered. Paul may have found himself at table fellowship with the children of a faithful mother he had killed in his Pharisaical zeal. Repentance changes everything. Through it, you become something you could never imagine.” (p. 133-134). Repentance isn't just about stopping sin (though it is that), it's just as much about you transforming into a new person who brings life to those around you like God brings life to you. (Like a thief who follows Christ and enjoys giving things to others rather than taking them). Each time you repent, you are actually experiencing a death and resurrection. Your old allegiances, your old desires, and your old self-reliance is dying and what's coming to life in its place are new allegiances, new affections, and a new dependence on God. Repentance is threatening, scary, and hard because it requires us to kill the idols we were trusting in. But what it brings into being within us is utterly worth it. This brings us to our main point this evening: We have to die in order to live. Repentance is both a death and a resurrection. Our old self and our old agenda dies, and our new self and God's agenda replaces it. So few people repent because no one wants to die to themselves. Yet, we have to die in order to live. If more of God and more of Christ is at the other end of repenting, isn't it worth doing at every opportunity, Church? No matter how much it costs? A second second way to repent when it feels hard to repent, ask yourself if you want Jesus or your sin more? Don't repent just because it's something you have to do. Repent because there's something (or someone) on the other side you want more than your sin, namely Christ. So, I want to ask us: Where in your life do you need to repent? What needs to die so that fresh life can replace it? For me, one area of repentance I need to walk in is turning from time wasting. It's so easy for me to get lost on the internet or social media. It's so easy for me to find some show or game to fill my time. Those things are not wrong in moderation, but when they become habitual and mindless, they are bringing death to my relationship with God and keep me from bringing life to others. I have less time to pray, less time to evangelize, less time to serve. My margin disappears and so does the power that rests upon my life. One sin that I urge us to repent of today are time-wasteing habits that have an inordinate control over my time and life. Getting back to the parable, we have to weight Jesus's words. He is talking about cutting down the tree that fails to bear fruit. Once again, Jesus is warning these crowds about the disastrous consequences of failing to repent. The man commands the vinedresser to cut the tree down because it failed to bear fruit. These words require me to be blunt: is there sin in your life you are coddling and refusing to put to death? To be clear, if you are not committing a sin less and less as time goes on, but continuing to walk in it habitually, you are not repenting (your allegiance hasn't actually changed). Repentance is an inward change of allegiance that results in outward change (not merely feeling sorrowful or regretful). Since the consequences of not repenting are so high, I urge you: repent. Do not leave this room this evening without repenting. This could be the last chance you have. The only decision we will ever regret for all of eternity is not repenting. So, please, don't fail to do this all important thing. These verses in the parable highlight the severity of our Lord in punishing sin. The next verses in this parable will highlight his mercy in restraining his punishment for now, Luke 13:8–9 ESV 8 And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. 9 Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.' ” The point of this development in the parable is to illustrate the mercy of God, which is sweeter than anything we've ever heard of when it's placed against the backdrop of the justice and wrath of God. The mercy of God is the sweetest and only hope we have. Here we see the mercy of God expressed in the patience of God in withholding the judgement of God.[4] The vinedresser asks for another year to dig around the tree and put fertilizer around it. The patience of God is in withholding judgement that people deserve today so they have an opportunity to repent. Meanwhile, God supplies what's necessary to repent: the preaching of the word, and conviction of his Spirit, and displays of his kindness in everyday life to draw sinners to himself. If you are still dead in your sins and have not repented, the reason you woke up today and enjoyed life-sustaining food and pleasant weather is not because you have no need of repentance and things are right between you and God. It is because God is giving you yet another opportunity to repent and become his child so you don't have to experience the same judgement you and I both deserve. Please don't misinterpret God's kindness. We live in a world that mixes together blessing and curse, safety and disaster, and it is all serving as a giant invitation to come to the Lord and be right with him before it's too late. Notice that his patience has an expiration date. After that year passes, he commands the vinedresser to cut down that tree if it will not bear fruit. So, when you die, or when Jesus comes back, which could come at any moment, there will be no more opportunities to repent. Since this evening could be your last chance, don't hesitate any longer: come talk to me or to any of our members afterward. Jesus is eager to receive you. He's happy to save you. He died so that you could come to him and receive free forgiveness, so please don't think this is not something he wants to do. The only reason someone would have to spend eternity without God is not because God refused to open his hand toward us, but because we refuse to take it. So, repent. [1] Green, J. B. (1997).

This week Ross preaches on Luke 10:38-42 The One thing that's Necessary Ross Tenneson / General Connection Revelation English Standard Version Chapter 10 38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. Verse 38 begins, “now as they went on their way…” As we have mentioned, Jesus is on a journey to Jerusalem where he will fulfill his life's purpose. The next several chapters in Luke will be the story of Jesus on a journey and the different people he meets and situations he encounters. His teaching and life along this journey serves as a model for what our lives should be as we journey through this world toward eternity. Each step in this journey is going to illustrate an important aspect of the Christian life. We need all of these different pictures of Jesus and his teaching so we get a complete picture instead of a lopsided one. So much of Jesus's teaching in the last few chapters have called for a radical renunciation of all we have in this life and a call to follow him and make disciples. These calls from Jesus are so important, yet if we don't get what he shows us in this story, we will fall apart as we try to radically follow him. Today, Jesus will show us the one thing that's necessary to sustain a life of faith and obedience, without which we will certainly fail and our Christian lives come apart. In fact this one thing sustains and empowers a life of obedience and Christ-likeness in all the diverse ways Jesus has called us to be like him. What if I told you there was one habit that could have an impact on all other habits and overflow to help you be like Jesus in every way? Would you want to know what this habit is and how to practice it and grow in it? Our text this evening is going to teach us about this one habit we need above all others. Now, let's introduce the setting and the characters. Luke says, “Jesus entered a village.” What village? Luke doesn't even specify its name, pointing to its insignificance. Martha, the woman who welcomes Jesus into his house is also someone we learn next to nothing about from Luke. She was likely a very ordinary person. Jesus will reveal a most significant truth in an insignificant place. What does this mean? That Jesus loves to work in ordinary lives in ordinary places and give the greatest treasures in the world to anyone who comes to him. If you feel insignificant today or unimpressive, Jesus has a word for you. English Standard Version Chapter 10 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. We quickly learn that Martha has a sister named Mary. These two women each represent a different kind of heart posture we can have toward Jesus. Their body language will illustrate for us two different ways our hearts can approach Jesus. How does Mary approach Jesus? She (1) sits and (2) listens to his teaching. Mary's chief concern is hearing the word of God. Her posture of sitting as the feet of Jesus shows her humility and eagerness to receive from him. What is Mary seeking in this situation? She is seeking closeness and intimacy with Jesus. There is no other way to be close to Jesus except to come to him in humility and with a desire to hear his words. There is no other way to be close to Jesus than to come to him how Mary did. You can't become close to someone if you don't communicate with them. If we will be with Jesus, we must listen to Jesus. It takes a little consideration to think about how this applies to us today. How, since Jesus is no longer present with us in his body on earth, can we seek closeness to him? While Jesus is no longer with us in the same way, he's still with us, and the Bible teaches he is actually more available rather than less available than he was to Mary. After ascending to heaven, he sent his Spirit to his people so that he would be completely available to all his people at all times through prayer and the Scriptures. When we come to Jesus in word and prayer, we come to him in the same manner that Mary did. What is prayer but a demonstration of the same humility Mary had before Jesus? In prayer, we admit our humility and our dependence on Jesus by our very act of praying. Those who don't pray live as if they don't need his help. And when we open the Scriptures and read God's word, we shows the exact same desire for the words of God that Mary did. In listening to God's voice speak to us through his Word, we get to enjoy the same closeness to Jesus as Mary. Prayer and the word throw open the door to closeness with God like nothing else in the world can. When we think of it that way, how could we go a single day without it? If being with Jesus is better than everything else the world has to offer, and reading the Word and praying is a crucial way to spend time with him, then wouldn't approaching him daily in this way be the most important thing in our lives? Why does Luke put this story here right after the parable of the good Samaritan and the call to love without limit? Because if we try loving like Jesus, without enjoying our relationship with Jesus, we will start to drift from Jesus (like we see in the case of Martha). The reward we get for loving like Jesus is primarily being nearer to Jesus and enjoying more of his presence. Yet, if we cut ourselves off from the way Jesus has invited us to come and be with him, we will be mere servants who don't get to enjoy relationship with the one we serve. Then, our hearts turn bitter and cold rather than warm and tender. If we try to love like Jesus yet neglect being with Jesus, our relationship with Jesus will fall apart. How can this happen? How do some of us find ourselves in this place? Let's take a look at verse 40 to see, English Standard Version Chapter 10 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. Now we get to see Mary's sister, Martha. She shows us an alternative heart posture toward Jesus. Luke says, “Martha was distracted with much serving.” Martha, on the other hand, makes doing for Jesus her priority over being with Jesus. Luke says Martha was “distracted.” A distraction is something that takes your attention away from what you want to focus on. Martha's serving was a distraction from deep and close relationship with the one whom she was made to be with. I want to ask you a question, was Martha's serving Jesus with hospitality a bad thing in itself? Was it wrong for her to give Jesus food and water and a clean place to rest? Absolutely not! Giving Jesus, while he was in the flesh, a good meal and place to rest was probably one of the best things someone could ever do. What's the point? No matter how good and important something is, if it takes away from the best thing, it becomes a bad thing. Perhaps one reason some of us struggle to spend time with Jesus are all of the really good things we are devoting our lives to: our families, our jobs, our friends, even our ministry to others. Yet, no matter how good any of these things are, if they take away from us having a genuine and deep relationship with Jesus, then they are distractions. We must not compromise; we must not trade knowing Jesus for any other priority, no matter how good it seems. We see in Martha's next words that her making serving her priority was not an innocent mistake, but rather reveals a heart problem, English Standard Version Chapter 10 And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” We can see that Martha's actions of serving while Mary listened to Jesus grew into resentment in her heart toward her sister. What is going on here? When we serve Jesus and do things for Jesus without being with Jesus, something harmful happens in our hearts: we start to measure ourselves by what we've done for Jesus rather than measuring ourselves by what he has done for us. Why do I say she was measuring herself by what she did? Because she compares herself to her sister. Comparison is a sure indication that you are basing your identity and worth in some way off of what you are comparing with others. If you tend to compare how much you make with others, make no mistake, you also tend to base your worth off of how much you make. When we work for Jesus but don't spend time with him, we reinforce the false concept that he needs us rather than the truth: we need him. Jesus sees right through Martha's heart and responds, English Standard Version Chapter 10 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, Jesus responds to Martha and her distracted heart. He speaks directly to her, yet he speaks gently. The double use of her name signals a gentle rebuke.[1] What does Jesus rebuker her for? The anxiety and preoccupation in her heart. Her concerns with other things besides Jesus (even good things) keep her from being fully present with Jesus. You can often feel this in conversations with people: when you are carrying anxiety about something around with you, it can keep you from focusing and being present with the person right in front of you. Anxieties and distractions about life can keep us from focusing on Jesus when we are with him, or worse, can crowd our schedules out so that we don't spend any time with him at all. Jesus teaches in chapter 12 about anxiety, English Standard Version Chapter 12 22 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! In other words, God's good heart is demonstrated in how he cares for the birds. Since you are more important to him than birds, you don't have to worry. Let's put these thoughts together: If worry and distraction keeps us from being present with Jesus and spending time with him, and we experience worry and distraction when we lose sight of God's goodness, then not spending time with Jesus comes from losing site of the goodness of God. In other words, when we start to become suspicious of God's good character or lose site of his goodness, it becomes easier and easier not to spend time with him. We become distracted by otherwise good things that we use as substitutes for the goodness of God. In Martha's case, it's showing hospitality. She manages her own home to a fault, looking for the affirmation, wholeness, and security in her serving that she was supposed to find in being with Jesus. The reason we can pause from ministry, pause from family time, pause from work, pause from house work, pause from serving our neighbors, pause from our hobbies, pause from current events, pause from entertainment, pause from anything and everything that keeps us from spending time with Jesus is this… because his heart is good and he is willing to give us what we truly need and that nothing else in this world can give. Jesus then says this in his teaching on worry and anxiety, English Standard Version Chapter 12 32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. It is his and his Father's good pleasure to give what we need most: the acceptance, the affirmation, the security, the hope that we only find in a rich relationship with Jesus yet we look for else where. It's God's “good pleasure” to give it. It's because it's his good pleasure to give us all that we need that we can hit the pause button on everything else in order to spend time with him. A restlessness that keeps us from spending time with him says, “I'm not sure if I can really receive what I need from being with him so I need to go and do this and that instead and try to calm my heart's discontentment on my own...” But friends, the verse says it is his “good pleasure” to give to you what you need most. You can rest from your restlessness because his heart is good. Come and listen to his voice each morning by opening your Bible and listening to his voice, it's actually what you need more than anything else, and he is glad to give you what you need. Nothing less than his death on the cross was the price that he paid so that we could deeply relate to him. When Jesus died, God ripped something in two, from end to end. Do you remember what that was? That's right, the torn curtain represents the unhindered access we all have to the presence of God. You may ask, how can I be sure he wants to give himself to me? How can I be sure it's really worth it to spend my time seeking him day by day? You can be sure because the price he paid to be able to give himself to you was nothing less than his own life. He completely paid for and forgave our sin so that there would no longer be any barrier between us and him. Now getting back to some reasons we struggle to be with God, on the other hand, some of us might feel too restless to spend times with Jesus, but rather feel indifference. Time in the Word may feel dry, lifeless, or uneventful. We struggle to believe it's as important as we hear it is. I think those in this situation struggle with the same heart problem, struggling to grasp the goodness of the heart of God. If we believed that what he is giving to us is himself, and that he wants to give himself, he's not holding himself back, then our indifference would turn to desire to be with him. Often times it's not like a switch in our heart that changes from indifference to desire, it's rather a process of growing in knowing he is good and cultivating an awareness of our need for him in our hearts. Yet, we get this no other place than being with him and listening to his voice. The way to shake out of our indifference to be with Jesus is to be with Jesus and listen for his voice and ask that God would transform us to want to be with him more than anything. Where ultimately do we want our hearts to be? How does Jesus describe the importance of this part of his relationship with us, English Standard Version Chapter 10 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” Jesus uses a phrase that should catch our attention. “one thing is necessary.” If Jesus says that there is one thing that we need above everything else, the only response we can muster is, “what is that one thing that I might have it?” That one thing is spending time with him by listening to his his voice and responding to his voice with your own. Relating to Jesus this way leads to the intimacy with Jesus that we were made for. It's not that being with Jesus in our Bibles is the only thing that we were made for or the only thing that we need, but so central to who we are and so central to everything else in the Christian life that Jesus uses this striking phrase, “one thing is necessary,” to talk about it. If we are not meant to do anything for God apart from relationship with God, then time to cultivate that relationship becomes the central, necessary thing. I have had times where I have loved and served people just because I made myself do it. I have had other times where I felt God's help and presence and it made serving others life-giving rather than life taking. Who here knows the difference of what I'm talking about. What I'm trying to share is that our lives of being with Jesus and going to make the biggest difference of whether he's with us when we are serving others. I want us to see something: Jesus is not just holding out a value for us. He is asking us to have the exact same value his whole life exemplified. When Satan tempted him in the wilderness to turn stones into bread, Jesus responded by quoting Deut 8:3, “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” When we are listening to Jesus, we are listening to his Father who speaks through Jesus. Jesus depended on the Words and the relationship he had with his Father to live a completely God-pleasing life and to defeat sin and death. I want to ask us a question: If Jesus needed to hear the voice of his Father in order to live a pleasing life to his Father, how could we live as if we didn't? When we neglect daily habits of Bible reading and prayer, what our lives are communicating is that we don't actually depend on deep relationship with our God in order to live in a way that pleases him. And since we all know deep down that relationship with Jesus is what we need, let's make time with him our “one thing.” In each season of life, we all tend to gravitate toward “one thing” that we look to escape to for rest and joy to give us the strength to persevere in the rest of life. I look to a number of different refuges at different times: Intellectualism and books (even books about God) can become my one thing. Politics and watching my candidate win can become my one thing. When I was younger, sports and video games were my one thing. What's your one thing in this season of life? By, God's grace, I am moving closer to having my one thing being time with him (although I still have further to go). There has been a shift in my thinking that has helped me grow in this direction. I used to think of my Bible and prayer time in the morning as the greatest part of my being with God. I don't quite look at it this way anymore. I see morning prayer and Word time as a necessary part of my relationship with God, but I see it more as preparation to relate with God throughout the day rather than the the biggest part of my being with God itself. What does it look like for me to relate to God during the day then? In addition to praying at moments I get a chance, I'm looking for a space in my afternoon or evening. This can be a slot that's ten minutes long (but hopefully longer). It can be alone or with other people. It's the slot I'm looking forward to in my day. I then go for a walk outside and talk out loud to God. I also read some more Scripture and listen to his voice. There's something about doing this a little later in the day that my mind if more engaged and there is something about doing it outside that frees me to express myself more freely to God and makes me more aware of his presence. I think a lot of us struggle to pray for extended periods of time because we don't know what to say or it doesn't seem engaging. Try praying while walking outside, and thinking of it as an escape from life to do what you want to do most of all. Here's a key verse that you can use to shape this time: English Standard Version Psalm 62 8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah I'm not to the place where I can pour out my heart to God at all times, but I can do it once a day during this time. I pause and listen for his voice and meditate on the Scriptures I have read so that it's me listening to him and not just me speaking to him. And wow do I feel refreshed in my soul when this becomes a daily part of my rhythm. I want us to have this church so that when we come together we are coming together with other people who are full of God. Jesus then concludes, English Standard Version Chapter 10 Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” Jesus said that Mary's pausing to listen to him is the “good portion.” That's a curious word. What is Jesus referring to? The “good portion” is language that refers to the part of an inheritance that belongs to an inheritor. When it comes to God and his people, the Scriptures use this Word to refer to the Promised Land. Yet, as the OT unfolds, it becomes clear that the inheritance of the Promised Land, this beautiful and abundant place to live, serves as a place holder, or an image, of what God is like. What is God like? He is like a field full of green plants, plants, and animals providing you with all of the nourishment you need to live. In the OT, one of the twelve tribes didn't receive an inheritance in the land because they were going to serve as Priests in God's temple instead. Listen to this verse that describes their inheritance, English Standard Version Chapter 18 20 And the Lord said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the people of Israel. In other words, Martha is working to do what she believes will bring life to herself and others. Meanwhile, Mary is sitting with the source of life himself. You tell me which is a better choice. And finally, it won't be taken away from her. Everything we work for, strive for, and build can be taken away from us, except for our relationship with Jesus. Only the relationship we cultivate with him and the love we show to others through him will last beyond death. It may seem like Mary is doing an ordinary thing. Yet, the ordinary act of listening to Jesus and being with him is the only real action that reaps benefits forever that no one can ever take away with you. [1] Barry, J. D., Mangum, D., Brown, D.

Disciple Up # 208 A Disciple's Identity Pt. 7: Blessed are the Peacemakers By Louie Marsh, 4-28-2021   Blessed are the Peacemakers…   9  “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Matthew 5:9 (ESV)   When you think of a peacemaker, what comes to mind? A diplomat trying to make peace between warring parties?   Or maybe it's you trying keep the peace in your family between certain members who are always fighting.   PEACEMAKER, pēsʹmāk-ẽr: Occurs only in the pl. (Mt 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers [eirēnopoioí]: for they shall be called sons of God” [who is “the God of peace”]). We have also what seems to be a reflection of this saying in Jas 3:18, “The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for [RVm “by”] them that make peace” (toís poioúsin eirênēn).   In classical Gr a “peacemaker” was an ambassador sent to treat of peace. The word in Mt 5:9 would, perhaps, be better rendered “peace-workers,” implying not merely making peace between those who are at variance, but working peace as that which is the will of the God of peace for men.   The peacemakers (οἱ εἰρηνοποιοί). Should be held to its literal meaning, peace-makers; not as Wyc., peaceable men. The founders and promoters of peace are meant; who not only keep the peace, but seek to bring men into harmony with each other. Tynd. renders, the maintainers of peace.   PEACE   But before we can know what a peacemaker is we out to understand and define peace. What is peace? The absence of conflict or something more?   Peace can apply to us in at least three ways:   External – conflict between individuals or groups of people.   Internal – a lack of peace within myself.   Time – a lack of peace over my past.   BIBLE WORDS TRANSLATED PEACE:   (שָׁלוֹם, shalom; εἰρήνη, eirēnē). A pervasive concept in the Bible that most commonly relates to a relationship of love and loyalty with God and one another.   In the Old Testament, “peace” carries the fundamental meaning of welfare, prosperity, or wholeness as well as the absence of hostility (compare Westermann, “Peace [Shalom],” 20, 44–53). The term is frequently used as the antithesis of harm. - Greever, J. M. (2016). Peace. In J. D. Barry, D. Bomar, D. R. Brown, R. Klippenstein, D. Mangum, C. Sinclair Wolcott, … W. Widder (Eds.), The Lexham Bible Dictionary. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press.   Peace in the New Testament   The Graeco-Roman concept of peace held various nuances. For example, the Homeric literature portrayed peace as an ideal state that a hero achieved through war. This led to the common adage, “If you wish peace, prepare for war” (compare Vegetius, Concerning Military Affairs III [preface]). On the other hand, the Stoics conceived of peace as an inward tranquility. The New Testament concept of peace shows dependence on the Semitic understanding of peace rather than the Graeco-Roman conception. In the New Testament, the concept of peace is consistent with the Old Testament in that it refers to prosperity, which climaxes in the peace the Messiah brings. - Greever, J. M. (2016). Peace. In J. D. Barry, D. Bomar, D. R. Brown, R. Klippenstein, D. Mangum, C. Sinclair Wolcott, … W. Widder (Eds.), The Lexham Bible Dictionary. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press.   UNDERLYING IMPORTANT ISSUE:   Notice how God is always concerned with making us one, helping us become one. Throughout the Bible He continually stresses one!   “4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:4–6, ESV)   14  For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15  by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, Ephesians 2:14-15 (ESV)   The unity God wants isn't just because it would be nice, but because it grows out of and is a reflection of, GOD'S VERY NATURE.   “21that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.” (John 17:21–23, ESV)   Because I'm at peace with God I want others to BE AT PEACE with Him.   I make peace like Jesus did – inviting people to CONNECT WITH JESUS.     Because I follow the Prince of Peace I SEEK TO LIVE IN PEACEwith everyone.   14  Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14 (ESV)   19  So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. Romans 14:19 (ESV)   CONTENDING FOR THE FAITH is part of peacemaking.   3  Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. Jude 1:3 (ESV)   “34“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. 37Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 10:34–39, ESV)   4) I'm called a Child of God because I CARRY HIS PEACE WITHIN me and always seek to LIVE IT OUT.   18  And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 3:18 (ESV)
