Have you ever considered how much of your future is unknown?
“What security do I have?”
“What promises can I bank on?”
“Which of my plans is foolproof?”
The more you dwell upon what is unknown, the greater the unknown becomes. Eventually, you have to conclude that all of it is unknown.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Hebrews and explains that contemplating the unknown can provide fodder for great anxiety.
But the Bible gives us a promise that is greater than all of the unknown…. a promise so great that we can look upon those things that once caused us anxiety with confidence — even boasting:
Avg Guy:I don’t have time to talk to anybody!… Quick! Answer this for me.
SBC Host: Hello. Average Guy’s phone.
[garbled phone voice]
SBC Host: It’s Jesus.
Avg Guy: Tell Him I’m too busy.
Are you too busy to hear from Christ?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Josh Peglow fills in at the pulpit and preaches through the familiar account of Mary and Martha.
Recall that Mary was the attentive one — the one who set everything aside, and sat at her Lord’s feet, to hear from Him.
Martha was the busy one, filled with overwhelm and a touch of sister-directed resentment, scurrying about to serve Him.
It’s easy for us to read this passage and assign misdirected priority and attention onto Martha. But this ultimately isn’t about what Martha should or shouldn’t have done: it’s about what you… and what you would do.
For there is no greater priority in the Christian life than hearing from Christ.
Description: On this first day of the first month of the New Year we examine if we have indeed put on the new self who is being renewed daily by the One who created him.
Description: Christians live to do the will of God and fulfill the obligation of holiness, love, and service in the power of the Holy Spirit — and thus bring glory to God.
