Our quest to Shine Brighter comes to the familiar story of two sisters with very different priorities when Jesus came for dinner. This is a story that addresses how we use our most precious resource: time. In learning to set the right priority, we overcome our anxiety of missing out on other things and  gain the power to fulfill our other priorities and responsibilities.

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

Luke 10: 38-42

Complementary Passage: Psalm 16

SERMON NOTES

• Mary & Martha – A Difference of Priorities
• Prioritize the Necessary & Eternal – Your Relationship with Jesus
  • Our relationship with Jesus is necessary and eternal – all else will pass away
  • We must resist the pressure to become like Martha – life in NoVa and church can be busy and we can easily get disconnected from Jesus by serving Him
• Let All Other Priorities Flow from Your Relationship with Jesus
  • Who we are in Christ must energize and direct what we do for Christ – the vine (John 15: 1-8), Jesus’ invitation to work and rest (Matthew 11: 28-30)
  • Experience the peace of right priorities (Philippians 4: 6-7, Matthew 6: 33)
