One Thing | Luke 10:38-42
Five verses. That is how long our story is this week. Just a literal handful. It’s funny how this story always seems so much longer in my mind. Maybe it’s larger than life because it appears in other gospels. However, that is not true either. The tale of Mary and Martha is only found in the book of Luke and is just a few verses. Maybe it is so big in our minds because we are well acquainted with it and have heard it referenced and preached on. Or, perhaps it seems bigger because every one of us can identify with it. In worship this week, we are going to talk about the overarching themes happening here and why this passage resonates with us.
Being in weekly worship is a joy! The Lord most high has invited us to gather together to lift up the name of Jesus. What an honor to raise our children and teenagers to praise God, as we come each week to put God first in our lives. In this new year, I pray you are continuing to draw near to our Savior, who promises to meet with us every time we do so.
As we meet this week, let us come to lay down our burdens and be expectant to be filled with the Spirit.
With gratefulness to the Lord,
Pastor Colleen
