June 20, 2025 - The Sixth Sunday after Pentecost - Fr. Christopher Yoder by All Souls' Episcopal Church
In this week's sermon , we reflect on the story of Mary and Martha and what it means to choose “the good portion.” What if discipleship doesn't begin with doing, but with sitting, listening, resting at the feet of, and putting our attention on Jesus? In a world of constant busyness, Jesus invites us to a life where worship grounds our work and where service flows out of contemplation. Text: Luke 10:38-42

The Rev. Dr. Robert Black - Christ is in All Things
Perhaps the church, at its best, is “all ears.” God urges the faithful, again and again, to “listen up!”—to heed the word that gives life. So it was with Abraham and Sarah as well as Mary and Martha. So it is for Sunday as we join the assembly to hear the word of God, the […]
Christ has compassion on the multitudes seeking nourishment in the desert, just as He does today for us in this Church crisis.
Luke 10:38-42 As Jesus and his disciples went on their way, Jesus entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her."

1 In those days again, when there was a great multitude, and had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them:In diebus illis iterum cum turba multa esset, nec haberent quod manducarent, convocatis discipulis, ait illis : 2 I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat.Misereor super turbam : quia ecce jam triduo sustinent me, nec habent quod manducent : 3 And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; for some of them came from afar off.et si dimisero eos jejunos in domum suam, deficient in via : quidam enim ex eis de longe venerunt. 4 And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness?Et responderunt ei discipuli sui : Unde illos quis poterit saturare panibus in solitudine? 5 And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven.Et interrogavit eos : Quot panes habetis? Qui dixerunt : Septem. 6 And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.Et praecepit turbae discumbere super terram. Et accipiens septem panes, gratias agens fregit, et dabat discipulis suis ut apponerent, et apposuerunt turbae. 7 And they had a few little fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them.Et habebant pisciculos paucos : et ipsos benedixit, et jussit apponi. 8 And they did eat and were filled; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.Et manducaverunt, et saturati sunt, et sustulerunt quod superaverat de fragmentis, septem sportas. 9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.Erant autem qui manducaverunt, quasi quatuor millia : et dimisit eos.Jesus miraculously feeds 4000. He foreshadows how He will feed the souls of men by means of the Holy Sacrament-The True Bread from heaven.

July 20, 2025 Today's Reading: Luke 10:38-42Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 3:1-21; Acts 16:1-22“. . . Martha was distracted with much serving. 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.' But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.'” (Luke 10:40-42) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. You have been anxious and troubled about many things, distracted with much serving (and so have I). But Jesus' concern isn't serving, it's distraction; distraction from the one thing that is needfull (necessary). Serving your neighbors (family, friends, classmates, coworkers, etc.) is a good and necessary aspect of your vocation as Christians. The Table of Duties in the Small Catechism gives examples of what this means. In this fallen world, there is always work to do for the good of others. There is nothing wrong (and everything right) with service to family, friends, community, and church. Martha's desire to serve, in and of itself, was not wrong – in fact, it was completely right. Martha was not wrong in her desire to serve, but in her troubled heart, trusting in her service to Jesus more than Him as her one thing needful. Her anxiety over loving and serving her neighbors (Jesus and others gathered) distracted her from the true purpose of Jesus' presence. She had not grasped that Jesus came for her. Jesus “…came not to be served, but to serve…” (Matthew 28:20). While the one thing needful was right there at hand, Martha felt that serving Him was more important than being served by Him. Mary chose what is better when one is in the presence of Christ: she sat at His feet and received what He came to give. Martha's complaint to Jesus was rebuked not because He didn't appreciate Martha's service, but because Martha erred in thinking that Mary was wrong in her desire to be served by Him before serving. Both Martha and Mary represent critical aspects of living out your Baptism, loving God and loving neighbor (see Luke 10:27). But take care that your much serving doesn't become more important than your being much served by Christ Himself. The former emanates from the law, which cannot save, but only curbs, accuses, and guides (necessary as that is). The latter is the Gospel itself, emanating from Christ our Savior, being necessary for salvation (John 6:27, Romans 5:21, Jude 1:21). It is the much-suffering of Christ (His crucifixion!) that saves you, and it will not be taken away! (See Small Catechism, Explanation to the 2nd Article, 2nd Paragraph)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. O Lord, grant us the Spirit to hear Your Word and know the one thing needful that by Your Word and Spirit we may live according to Your will; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. (Collect for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, LSB)Rev.

"Be perfect" - that's what Jesus says we're to do. But is this about us? Fr. James Manley reminds us that the Bible is about Jesus and that we can't make God happy by doing the right things, but by our faith in Jesus's perfection.If you like what you see, we hope you'll join us in person if you're in the area.
