This week we start a new sermon series, "Keep Pursuing Ahead." And the first sermon titled "Pursue Intimacy", we are looking into the story where Jesus addresses Martha and invites her to be present to listen to His teachings and His message. 

Many of us can relate with Martha. In this face-pace world, we are feeling pulled in different directions, feeling worried and distracted by many things. Our activities leave us with no time to be still in the Lord’s presence and hear God’s word, leave us with no commitment when it comes to build personal relationship with God. And we end up being  anxious and troubled. But Jesus wants to be ever closely with us. He wants to have a consistent, constant relationship with us. Day in and day out. Just as close relationship with another person requires conversation, so intimacy with God is the same. Conversing with Him happens through our daily bible reading, daily devotions and prayer. By building close intimacy with God, we are strengthening our faith and our spiritual being. The closer we are to God, the stronger we will be in the storms of life.

Intimacy with God is available to you. It is as accessible to you as God’s promises. And God’s invitation to you to enjoy intimate fellowship with him. As God is fully devoted & committed to us, we also need to be fully devoted and committed to Him.
