Choose Jesus Over Distraction

Sermon Series

Luke: God's Promise Fulfilled

Passage: Luke 10:38-42 — Our text tonight is about being a disciple. We’re introduced to two sisters, and we tend to identify with one or the other. Mary sits at Jesus’ feet listening to his teaching, and Martha her sister is distracted by everything that needs to be done to properly host. In the contrast between these two sisters, we see the value of being focused on Jesus over the many things that make us distracted and anxious. The Big idea of the text is: Choose Jesus over Distraction. You could say, be Mary, not Martha. We’ll see two defining marks of a disciple in Mary. Her posture before Christ and her portion in Christ.
