About this sermon

Life by Design Clarity of Vision 2020 “The Deployment” Series Today’s Message: Class in Session - Awaken My Ear like a Student! Subtitle: The Better Thing: “Lab Session” Luke 10:38-42 38 While ·Jesus and his followers [L they] were traveling, Jesus went into a ·town [village]. A woman named Martha ·let Jesus stay at her house [L welcomed/received him]. 39 Martha had a sister named Mary, who was sitting at the Lord’s feet and listening to ·him teach [what he said; L his word/message; C sitting at a teacher’s feet indicates the position of a disciple; see Acts 22:3]. 40 But Martha was ·busy [worried; distracted] with ·all the work to be done [the many preparations]. She went in and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me alone to ·do all the work [serve; prepare the meal]? [Please; L Therefore] Tell her to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are ·worried [anxious] and upset about many things. 42 Only one thing is ·important [necessary; needed]. Mary has chosen the better thing, and it will never be taken away from her.” Isaiah 50:4 The Lord GOD gave me the ·ability to teach [L tongue of a student/learned one] so that I know what to say to make the ·weak [weary] strong. Every morning he wakes me. He ·teaches me [L awakens my ear] to listen like a student [C this passage (50:4–11) is the third of four “servant songs” in Isaiah; see 42:1]. Confession: The Word of God is nigh me, even in my mouth. God teaches my tongue according to Isaiah 50:4. I have the tongue of the learned. I come with the sword of God in my mouth. I say what God says and my mountains move. I declare at God’s command and walls fall around me. I speak life and the weary are refreshed. Out of my belly flows a river of living water of life, answers, and direction. Kingdom Points: 1. Solomon’s Prayer 2. Reading (See it) Lab 3. Writing (Say It) Lab 4. Arithmetic (Multiply it) Lab
