"The Endless Pursuit of More: Perfection" Romans 3:9-25a & Luke 10:38-42 In this message, part of our "The Endless Pursuit of More" series preparing us for Thanksgiving, we explore our relentless pursuit of perfection. You work harder, do more, try to meet every expectation—but somehow it's never enough. The goalpost keeps moving. When Martha complained about her sister Mary just sitting at Jesus' feet while she did all the work, Jesus' response was shocking. What does true perfection look like? And who's really responsible for achieving it?🎯 Maybe you've been exhausting yourself trying to be perfect for everyone...🎯 Maybe you've been putting pressure on yourself or others to meet impossible standards...🎯 Maybe it's time to discover that Jesus has been perfect for you.🗝️ Key Takeaways:✔️ Perfectionism is an unattainable moving goalpost—we'll never reach it on our own.✔️ God doesn't demand perfection through our actions, but perfect love through faith in Christ.✔️ Mary chose the "good portion"—sitting at Jesus' feet matters more than endless striving.📖 Main Scripture:Romans 3:19-24 (All have sinned and fall short)Luke 10:38-42 (Mary and Martha)Matthew 5:48 (Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect)#ChristianSermon #Thanksgiving #Perfectionism #Romans3 #MaryAndMartha #ChristianFaith #SundaySermon #BiblicalTruth #FaithOverWorks #GraceAlone📖 Worship with us at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Sheboygan Falls:Thursday: 6:30 PM (Informal)Sunday: 8:00 AM (Traditional) | 9:30 AM (Blended) | 11:00 AM (Contemporary)
