The apostle Paul’s love and concern for the brethren in Corinth is seen in these verses, as it is throughout the letter.  He thinks of himself as, and cares for them, as a loving father who wants what is best for his children. Speaker: Justin P. Sivley

Mary and Martha were a pair of sisters (along with their brother Lazarus) who knew Jesus well.  In Luke 10, our first proper introduction to the sisters, the two are complete opposites in terms of the situation at hand.  While Mary sits and Jesus’ feat, Martha is being trying to show hospitality, serving the Lord … Continue reading One Thing Is Necessary – Luke 10:38-42 (7/16/23 a.m. sermon)
