Not enough hours in the day? This one’s for you.

Luke 10:38-42 Sermon Outline – PNSJ 10 a.m. – July 17, 2016

Big Idea: Make time for God and there will be enough time for everything else

X2: We can only be God’s mercy in motion when we are still in God’s mercy

Story/Context: women & men don’t mix

• hospitality important
• Context: previous passage: “…eternal life?” “Love lord… love neighbour..”
• Followed by “Good Samaritan”
• Loving Lord scenario

#1: Pecking order dictates priorities

• Mary: crossing boundaries, postponing duties -> sit/study
• Martha: worried/distracted, tells Jesus what to do
• 2000 years later: Do we tend to tell Jesus what to do?
• Age of Self-Actualization, rights, autonomy, finding self within
• CHOICE: sit and listen OR tell Jesus what to do

#2: Worries and Distractions will always be there

• may change over time, person to person, but we all have them
• This is why, “Jesus-centered…” -> competition for the center of ourselves
• What’s your worry? Distraction?
• Question: What will it take for you to sit and listen to Jesus in peace?

Would you repeatedly reorder priorities so that you can sit and listen to Jesus?
