Sermon ONE THING 

Jesus arrives at Mary, Martha and Lazarus’ home to be minstered to. Jesus depended on this special family for nurturing, hospitality, friendship, companionship and respite. He stops over by their house just ahead of His triumphal entry. He often turns to this family for much needed comfort and to their home which was the gold standard of Jewish hospitality. There is a reason Jesus shows up on Martha’s doorstep six days before his fated Passover. Jesus always has a plan, and a purpose for where He goes and Mary and most crucially Martha is part of that plan

THE PASSAGE 

Luke 10 V38 to 42     Jesus Visits Martha and Mary

38 It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

39She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.

40But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."

41But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

42but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."

Sermon John 17 V 20-26 

20 “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. 21 I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.

22 “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. 23 I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. 24 Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!

25 “O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. 26 I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
