Sermon Notes

1) The Picture of Two Good Things, 38-39

2) The Distraction of Many Things, 40-41

3) The Necessity of One Thing, 41-42

Reflection questions:

Does Jesus ever say which “one thing is necessary?” What does the story seem to imply that the “one thing” is?

What one thing does Jesus focus on in Matthew 6:25-34? And what does He tell us not to focus on? (And why shouldn’t we focus on it? See Mt 6:32; Mt 6:8.)

What one thing does Paul focus on in Philippians 3:10-15?

What one thing did David seek in Psalm 27:4? Compare Ps 84, especially vv. 1-2, 10.
