Strong Relationships - Part 3 | Pastor Micah Pelkey

Do you always seem to be in a hurry?



Do you always seem to be pressed for time?



Has anyone (that cares for you) ever asked you to slow down?



Do you feel guilty when you do rest or relax?



Do your priorities ever get out of order?



I will be happy when…



Luke 10

38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.

39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.

40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.”

41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”




Busyness is often a choice.



Distraction: An object that directs one's attention away from something else.



Have things changed in your life?




What are the things that have been building up in your life?




What has been happening in your house?





What is happening in your heart?





The things we get distracted by are usually not as important as the things we get distracted from.



Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance.
— C.S. Lewis
