Luke 10: 38-42“
“Seated at the feet of Jesus. An Attitude of Servanthood and Discipleship”
There are times when serving can become a distraction for us. When such occurs you keep your focus on Jesus.
This passage of scripture begins with Jesus and his disciples who were on their journey to Jerusalem and entered into a certain village. In preparing this sermon, I read in Luke 9 verses 51-56 Jesus sent messengers ahead to prepare for him in a Samaritan village, but the Samaritans refused him because he was going to Jerusalem. The Samaritans were Israelites and they were not the best of friends of the Jews at that time. In 2nd Kings 17:24 the Samaritans intermarried with people who were captured by the King of Assyria. However, the Jewish people …show more content…

The needful thing is the word of God. The word of God teaches us how to live and gives us wisdom that leads us to salvation through faith. The word of God teaches us how to love one another and to live our lives pleasing unto him. The word teaches us how to have a relationship with Jesus through prayer, worship, and devotion. It’s our communication with God. As a result, God will move on our behalf when he hears our voice and when we speak his words. When we take the time to sit at the feet of Jesus, his word gives us directions in life’s complicated roadmap and it will guide us around the roadblocks that are meant to stop us from our purpose and destiny in his word. Therefore, when we sit at the feet of Jesus, we posture ourselves as his disciples to learn of him, resulting in receiving spiritual gifts which are the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, spiritual knowledge, an everlasting name, a new heart and eternal life just to name a …show more content…

When you sit at the feet of Jesus, you will be changed, however, others will not like the new you. Why? You’ve changed who you use to hang out with. You made the word of Jesus your choice and priority in life instead of the world and relationships that would eventually end up in destruction. There will be times when you find it to be a struggle to fit in with people. You will be known for who you are and staying true to your Christian

  • King Jesus Fragment Essay

    446 Words  | 1 Pages

    This fragment is taken from THE NEW TESTAMENT (King James version). More importantly, the fragment appears in THE GOSPAL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW, which is the first gospel out of four. While there is no speaking character in the fragment, it is possible to witness several characters in it. First, there are the wise men who came to visit and see baby Jesus. Second, when they entered the house, they saw Jesus with “Mary, his mother.” In this fragment, one can notice the significance of the wise men (Magi). Seeing that, the wise men function as evidence to display Jesus’s godliness and his relation to God, by seeing him they “fell down, and worshiped him.” Due to God’s intervention in the wise men’s dreams, they have changed their actions, understanding

If we as Christian cultivate our relationship with God we will be recognize the wealth we seek can only be found in our relationship with Our Father and Our Savior Jesus Christ as He is the provider of our wealth.

    Making a lifestyle change from the world to be with God is a major lifestyle change. According to 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone: the new has come (The Holy Bible).” Making a transition from the world to be with God come with many stumbling blocks.

Pleasing God, not man, will receive the greatest attention in my busy life, Galatians 1:10 (KJV). I will be a minister of reconciliation unto the Lord. Jesus does it and I am called to be like Him, so I am also called to intercede for others. I will pray the Word daily because it is my reasonable service. Romans 12 will be my platform: “To love and respect others and while rejoicing in hope; being patient in tribulation; and continuing instant in prayer”. To be more like Christ is my goal and “It is not the will of the Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish (Matthew 18:14)”. For it is truly Christ to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).

  • Agape Love In Christianity

    In Luke 10:30-35, Jesus described how a good Samaritan helped a Jewish man who was robbed, beaten, and left half dead while on his way to Jericho from Jerusalem. Although the Samaritan did not have any responsibility to stop and help the Jewish man--as the Samaritans were the enemies of Jew--he stopped and risked his own life to help him. He even helped the Jew at a level beyond anything that might have been considered usual care. The Samaritan brought the Jewish man to an inn and asked the inn keeper to take care of the Jew. Furthermore, he promised the inn keeper to pay all of his treatment costs. The story shows the meaning of loving others as ourselves. The Samaritan man demonstrated agape love. He loved the Jewish man as if he would want to be treated in the same circumstance; he loved the Jewish man as if he was part of his own
