Bible Talks from Luke

Have you ever wondered what kind of person impresses God? In this final sermon preached at Smithfield Public School we look at an unlikely hero who Jesus lifts up as a model of someone who is great in the eyes of God.

In this incredible passage of the Bible a Prophet of God meets the Son of God in human flesh! What this man has to say about Jesus tells us why we continue celebrating his birth 2018 years later.

In this sermon, we see Jesus passionately teach his church that there is more to life than what we see, and an opportunity to have what we never even thought was possible. We are distracted by so many things in life, yet through it all, Jesus says for true abundance and lasting pleasure only one thing is necessary – and here he points out what that is.

In this passage, Jesus visits two good friends of his - sisters named Mary and Martha. Martha is busy at work making preparations for the guest who have dropped in, and Mary takes the opportunity to take time out and sit at Jesus’ feet. Who chose what was best? In this sermon, we see the relationship between work and rest.

If there’s one thing we all are, it’s that we're busy. In Luke 10 we find the closest sermon Jesus gave to a sermon on busyness. This is a special Mother’s Day sermon where Teresa also reflects on this passage as a mother.
