Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now. As a church, we are all about following Jesus and know there’s no end to that journey—we’re more about becoming than arriving. We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.

We live in a distracted age. There is always something more to do. For many of us, life can seem like an endless set of tasks. Sometimes, we get disappointed with Jesus because we don't think he's giving us enough help in getting the tasks done. Yet, the bible makes it clear that this isn't what Jesus came to do. Jesus invites us to follow his priorities, rather than inviting his help to fulfill our priorities. In today's sermon, Fr. Stephen reflects on the story of Mary & Martha from the Gospel of Luke. These two sisters are examples of the right way to set priorities and the wrong way to set them. They provide a good challenge for us to look to Jesus to put our priorities right.
Scripture Reference: Luke 10:38-42
Preached on the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, July 21, 2019 by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne
Sermon Highlights
- This story is the second half of Jesus' answer to the question asked last week
- Good Samaritan showed us what loving neighbour looks like
- This story shows us what love of God looks like
- Not a story about clergy being better than others
- A story about making time in life to ask Jesus what is important
- A story about responding to this even when it means setting aside things we value
