What Can't Be Taken Away

Who - Why - How - When

This week : What

What if?

What if the plans we make for 5 years don't go as planned?

Prayer : God, open our eyes to see glorious truths in Your word.

Luke 10:38-42

Jesus will go where He is invited.

Mary was sitting listening to Jesus. 

Martha was doing all the housework.

I Am Bible For Kids

Deuteronomy 11:18 

Jesus speaks tenderly and corrects with love.

Luke 10:42 MSG - the main course.

1. Choose It

Mary chose to sit and listen to Jesus.

Back in those days women didn't sit at people's feet.

Mary put herself in a learning position.

Jesus elevates women, He places high value on them.

Jesus calls the woman - who had bled for 12 years - daughter!

God has given women a strength, bravery, discernment that He didn't give to men.

We are daughters of the King.

Mary made Jesus the priority.

Jesus first and foremost.

Martha wasn't wrong in making the meal.

It wasn't wrong to throw an epic party.

She was putting emphasis on the preparations and not Who she was doing them for.

Fight to focus!

Sometimes changing your physical posture helps you retain information better.

Jennie places her Bible on the chair and kneels on the floor.

If life doesn't go as planned we must choose to worship Jesus, to listen to Him, and to be with Him.

Purpose in your heart.

2. Do It

Luke 10:39

Hanging on to every word Jesus said.

Listen and believe.

Mark 3

Jesus was in church. A man had a crippled hand. The religious leaders are looking to find fault in Jesus. They watched Him closely to condemn Him.

Proximity to Jesus does not mean a close relationship with Him.

Look to Jesus in wonder, not criticism.

It's a scary thought to be near the things of God, to be near Him, but not know Him.

Acts 4:13

The thing that cannot be taken away is your relationship with Jesus.
