The Distractions That Derail the Long Game
On the road toward Jerusalem, Jesus stops in a quiet house and exposes a danger that rarely looks like failure. Martha is busy serving, doing what faithful people do — yet Jesus gently calls out the anxiety underneath her devotion. In this message, Terry explores how distraction can slowly derail the long game of following Christ. Busyness can look like faithfulness, but attention to Jesus shapes the endurance we need for the road ahead.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
