Prioritized living

Jan 19, 2025    Pastor Matthew Johnson

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our priorities and how we define success in light of God's Word. The story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 serves as a pivotal example, reminding us that sitting at Jesus' feet - prioritizing our relationship with Him - is the 'one thing necessary.' We're encouraged to reflect on how our culture's obsession with busyness and consumption often leads us astray from God's best for our lives. The message urges us to create margin in our lives - in our time, energy, and resources - so we can freely respond to God's calling. It's a sobering yet inspiring call to subtract what hinders us and add what helps us grow closer to God. As we ponder this, we're invited to ask ourselves: Are we truly living with Jesus as our priority, or have we allowed the world's demands to crowd Him out? This message challenges us to realign our lives with God's wisdom, reminding us that true fulfillment comes not from doing more, but from choosing the 'good portion' that can never be taken away.
