Jesus responds with deep friendship to both Mary and Martha. (Lectionary #462) October 7, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com
In Luke 10:38–42, we meet Martha, busy with hosting duties, and Mary, sitting at Jesus' feet to listen. Martha deserves credit for welcoming Jesus, but she becomes so focused on her tasks that she misses the greater gift—being present with Him. While our work and responsibilities matter, Jesus reminds us that time with Him is the “better part.” Some of us naturally lean toward Mary, others toward Martha, but both are needed. The key is balance: Marthas must slow down to hear Jesus, and Marys must remember to serve as well. Ultimately, our greatest calling is to sit at Jesus' feet, because everything else flows from His presence.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Send us a textLife pulls us in a hundred different directions, and our culture tells us our worth is found in what we produce. But in Luke 10:38-42, Jesus shows us a better way. Before we ever do anything for Him, we are called first to be with Him.

McKnight Crossings Church guest preacher, Eric McPherson, brings us a clip from the video series, The Chosen, asking us to consider the importance of service but greater still the importance of pausing, to spend time focusing on God and the teachings of Jesus Christ. We are challenged to consider what might be distracting us towards true actions that we can choose in effort to best focus on and follow Christ.
Nancy Watkinson shares a challenging word from the Sunday night of our ALL IN FOR JESUS services. Nancy unpacks the lives of Martha and Mary and shares of the favour that it released when we sit at the feet of Jesus and worship Him. Our lives can be filled with all sort of distractions, but God is calling us away to intimacy and to love Him deeply. This is such a timely word and we encourage you to allow the Lord to speak to you through this message. Our heart at Celebration Church Rarotonga is that this message will greatly bless your walk with Jesus and help bring you closer to Him. We pray that you would be stirred to live a life that is passionate about loving Jesus!We would love to hear from you!

Proper 11 Readings: Genesis 18:1-14; Psalm 15; Colossians 1:21-29; Luke 10:38-42 (Fr. David Smith, preaching)
In this sermon, based on on Luke 10:38-42, Pastor Scott explores the story of Jesus' encounter with Mary and Martha, and the two sides of the discipleship coin. Sometimes we are called to listen and sometimes we are called to get to work. Both are valid. This is the assigned gospel text for Sunday July 20th, the 6th Sunday after Pentecost.

How often do you share meals with your loved ones? Jesus shared meals with people often, creating a safe and unhurried space for relationships. To eat together is to share trust and intimacy with your guest. Who can you invite for a meal this week, deepening your relationship in Jesus' name?MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49445653RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/
Mary and Martha, with their brother Lazarus, were especially devoted disciples of our Lord; their story up to the time of the Resurrection can be found in Luke 10 and John 11-12. Mary and Martha were among the Myrrh-bearing women. They, with their brother, reposed in Cyprus, where Lazarus became first Bishop of Kition after he was raised from death by Christ. An ancient tradition holds that Lazarus was thirty years old when he was restored to life by the Lord, and that he lived another thirty years. After he was raised from the dead, he never again laughed; but once, when he saw someone stealing a clay pot, he smiled and said, 'Clay stealing clay.' His name is a Greek version of Eleazar, meaning 'God has helped.'
In a world that's constantly pulling at your time, attention, and energy—what matters most? Pastor Ben Young walks us through the story of Mary and Martha to show how busyness, even when it's for good things, can distract us from the best thing. If you're tired, overwhelmed, or feeling spiritually dry, this message is a gentle invitation to sit at Jesus' feet and let His presence reset your soul.
When you are a follower of Jesus you are called to prioritize Jesus' words, prioritize God's will, and pursue them shamelessly.
In a world that constantly demands our attention, how do we discern what truly matters? Join Pastor Derek Holmes as he delves into the familiar yet profoundly insightful story of Mary and Martha from Luke 10:38-42. In this powerful sermon, "You're Gonna Wanna Sit Down For This," Pastor Holmes reveals how our busyness, even when focused on seemingly good and important tasks, can inadvertently pull us away from the most vital priority: our intimate relationship with Christ. Discover the "one thing" that truly matters and learn how to prioritize intentional time with Jesus amidst life's endless distractions. Don't just listen – sit down, reflect, and reset your focus on what truly nourishes your soul.
Hospitality and service are of great importance. They are precious to Jesus. But our service is not more precious than Jesus himself. To sit at Jesus' feet and listen to Jesus' Word is always the priority on the road of discipleship. Or, as Jesus calls it, "the good portion." We learn this lesson in Luke 10:38–42 from a visit to the loving home of two sisters, Mary and Martha, on a difficult day.

Caleb Clardy teaches from John 11:1-43 on March 2, 2025In this powerful sermon, we explore the life of Mary of Bethany and the three profound moments she spent at Jesus' feet—listening, grieving, and worshipping. Through her story, we see the depth of Jesus' love, the power of true worship, and the revelation of who He is. What does it mean to sit at Jesus' feet today? How can we bring our struggles, grief, and devotion to Him? Watch and be inspired to draw closer to Christ in every season of life.Support the show
Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus' words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations—even us. Today, in 10:38-42, we reach the famous story of Mary and Martha. Surprisingly, and contrary to how it is often taught, this story compels us to prioritize our inner world, in relationship with Jesus, over the activity of our outer world.

In Luke 10:38-42, we watch Mary's and Martha's interactions with Jesus when He visits them along with their brother Lazarus. Martha makes all the food and preparations while Mary sits at the Lord's feet. What is going on here? There are three options: did Jesus bring too many people to dinner? In other words, does God give us too much to do? Second, were too few people willing to help with the dinner? Or third, did Martha try to prepare too elaborate of a meal? We will look today at what happens when we do more than the Lord requires of us.
