There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word. Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days. It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you that I open your Bible with me again to Dr. Luke's book, the gospel according to Luke,

Luke chapter number 10. And I said to you that I was going to speak to you this week on

the one things of scripture, how God brings us down to a single thought, one point. I think

that one of the great dangers in our world is a divided heart and a double mind. The Bible says

a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Maybe that would account for some of the mess we're in

right now. And yet when the Lord Jesus works in someone's life, he doesn't deal with double things. He always deals with single

things. He wants your eye to be single and your mind to be single and your heart to be single.

What does that mean? It's the idea that the Lord is bringing you to what is most important to God.

And before we read tonight, may I say to you that what is most important to God

ought to be most important to us so what is the one thing that's most important to the Lord

Jesus look with me at Luke chapter 10 tonight let's read a familiar story at the end of the

chapter beginning in verse 38 where the says, now it came to pass

as they went, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha

received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet and heard his word.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my

sister hath left me to serve alone? therefore that she helped me that sounds like a sibling

rivalry doesn't it how many of you have siblings i'm just curious now i have one sister four years younger

than me we had a few conversations like this and i'm imagining here that martha is looking at

mary and she's a little annoyed,

little put out, a little aggravated because she's busy bee, she's working everywhere,

getting it done, cleaning tables and cooking food and serving.
