Luke 10:38-42
The sisters, Martha and Mary, play a relatively important role in John’s gospel record, but this short passage in Luke is the only other mention of them. When Jesus visited their home, Martha worked frantically in the kitchen, while Mary sat at his feet hanging on his every word. Both were acts of love and respect, but in that sacred moment, Jesus told Martha that Mary had made the better choice.
- Mary’s choice was the best for her own spiritual enrichment.
- Mary’s choice set the best example for others.
- Mary’s choice was most pleasing to Jesus.

Dec 21, 2025Fear Not, ShepherdsBy: Phil PeacockSeries: The "Fear Nots" of ChristmasLuke 2:8-20 In the biblical account of Jesus’ birth, it is perhaps the shepherds that best represent everyday people like us.

I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord!”

- More specifically, he was sent for YOU.

- When you trust Jesus Christ, you never have to fear living or dying without a Savior!
- You don’t have to live in fear, because God has sent His Savior!

- Nov 2, 2025The Power of Truth Over Lies
Nov 2, 2025The Power of Truth Over LiesBy: Phil PeacockSeries: The Power of Jesus RevealedWe live in a world where people care very little about the truth. They mistakenly label things they want to hear as truth, and things they don’t want to hear as lies. But truth and falsehood is not determined by our wants or opinions. God Himself establishes truth, and has revealed it to us in His Son Jesus Christ. The Gospel of John helps us understand how the truth of Christ sets us free from the enslavement of the world’s lies. Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
