The Good News is God loves you with an unconditional love and He chooses to love you in that way every single day. God wants to be in relationship with us, and He values every moment we will give Him. So what kind of relationship does God want to have with us? All of Scripture is full of rich wisdom and insight on this. In this message, we take a look at the relationship between Mary of Bethany and Jesus. Mary went on to participate in the Messianic mission of Jesus because of the special insight she had received from her time with Him. 

Many who were serving Jesus completely misunderstood and ultimately missed out on partnering and supporting Jesus through the greatest act of love the world has ever seen. Why is it that not all who served Jesus knew what their Master was doing?

In Luke 10:42, Jesus says of Mary of Bethany that she had chosen the good portion and that it was a good thing to do and would remain with her always. What did Jesus mean by choosing the good portion? We explore the Psalms to uncover what choosing the good portion looks like as a lifestyle and what fruit it bears for our lives.  Jesus encourages us in John 15 to bear the fruit of remaining in His love and the wisdom given to the Disciples in this passage of Scripture was blessed to them because Jesus saw them as cherished friends.

Looking at a cross-section of Scriptures we draw out revelation on what it looks like at a personal level and at a community level to have a group of beloved sons and daughters choosing a daily relationship with Jesus, living from the abide-and-go impartation of His Spirit, and following in the more excellent way of love.
