POPULARITY
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.
Luke 10:38-42 | Mary and Martha | Johnny Kurcina | Mar. 9, 2025. In Luke 10, we read a story of Mary and Martha, who are friends of Jesus. We see how Mary decides to sit at Jesus’ feet and learn from him, how Jesus commends her for this decision, and learn from Johnny how […]

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.

In Luke 10:38-42, Jesus enters a village, and Martha invites Jesus into her home. She is going to host Jesus with her sister, Mary. Martha is busy preparing and serving while Mary sits at Jesus' feet, listening to his teaching. Frustrated, Martha tells Jesus to make Mary help her. However, Jesus gently tells Martha that while she is worried about many things, “only one thing is necessary.” He explains that Mary has chosen the “better part” by focusing on his teaching, something that won't be taken from her. Jesus clarifies that service in our strength is not service to God. One has to start in the renewing work of the Spirit, doing these works in the power of faith. Martha is simply doing and not hearing.

Jesus visited His friends Mary and Martha. Note the two different ways the women chose to respond to Jesus' visit. Martha worked on preparations; Mary sat and listened. Jesus stressed the importance of what Mary was doing. This session will help kids understand that every day they will be faced with making choices–some which follow God and some which do not. We can help them understand that God helps His people make good choices.

Welcome back to Becoming Better! In today's episode, we're diving into the beautiful story of Mary and Martha, two sisters who welcomed Jesus into their home during a pivotal time in their lives. As we explore the dynamic between these two women, we'll uncover a powerful lesson about the importance of slowing down, sitting at Jesus' feet, and not giving up on the promises God has for us. In the hustle of life, it's easy to become like Martha—caught up in busyness, distracted by our to-do lists, and overwhelmed by the pressures around us. Jesus addressed Martha's concerns, reminding her that “only one thing is necessary,” which was to prioritize time with Him. What does it mean to truly rest and reconnect with God in our daily lives? We'll explore the profound implications of this Scripture and how it invites us to realign our priorities. Throughout this episode, we will reflect on how Mary chose to be present with Jesus, demonstrating that sometimes, the most faithful action we can take is to linger longer in His presence. We'll discuss the significance of perseverance and how when we stick around—despite our doubts, fears, and life's distractions—we open ourselves to witnessing the fulfillment of God's promises.Join us on this journey of becoming better, learning to quiet the chaos around us and trusting in God's timing. Because when we don't give up, we position ourselves to see the incredible ways He is working, fulfilling His promises right before our eyes.Tune in, and remember: sometimes, waiting and choosing to be still opens the door to seeing God's faithfulness in ways we never imagined.

Today's sermon is Mary and Martha by Zach Adams Find more teaching from Pastor Zach at www.zachadams.org
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.'

How are we to know when to take servant action and when to embrace worshipful rest? The Bible has a lot to say about the interplay of the two and Mary and Martha, specifically, have a lot to teach us.In this episode, I deep dive into a couple scriptures that reveal Jesus' response to the worried and anxious action of Martha vs. the restful worship of Mary. While they both seemed to have positive intention, their heart posture was very different, and this impacted the way that they reacted to the presence of God in the flesh.

Pastor Scott Ardavanis preaches a sermon on Mother's Day from Luke 10 verses 38 through 42 on the contrast between Mary and Martha.
Jesus spends time with Mary and Martha. Mary sits as Jesus' feet as if she is one of the disciples breaking religious and social norm. But, Martha was distracted with a bad attitude and serving. In this episode, Jannel discussed the difference here between relationship vs religious serving, and to take this as an invitation. Guest Speaker: Jannel HeastonLuke 10:38-42www.messagetokings.com

Today we will cover: - God's love for both Mary AND Martha - How God can use the Martha types in His church - What to do if you struggle with being a "doer" and not having quiet time - The specific set of words here that correlate to our current-day word "anxiety"

In this week's episode, Fran and Yadi discuss the ebbs and flows of Mary and Martha. Follow & Connect with the Misfits
In Luke 9 Jesus “turns his face towards Jerusalem” and begins the journey towards the cross. One of the first stops he makes on this journey is to his good friends Mary and Martha. In this short story, we see two ways of receiving and responding to Jesus. Martha receives and responds to Jesus through service. Mary does so through listening and contemplation. We often pit these two women (and these models) against each other. Though Jesus uses the story to remind Martha to slow down, the story leaves us wondering if perhaps both of these are important responses. Today we begin our Lenten journey towards the cross and part of that preparation may include both acts of service/doing and acts of listening/contemplation.
