Don’t Miss Jesus

What if the most extraordinary Person in the universe stepped into your everyday life…and you missed Him? In Luke 10, Martha welcomes Jesus, serves Him, and believes in Him...and still misses what matters most. This Sunday, we’ll see how easy it is to miss Jesus…even with good things...and what it looks like to be truly captivated by Him. Don’t just be near Him. Don’t just stay busy for Him. Fix your eyes on Him. Don’t miss Jesus. Sermon Outline: I. Missing Jesus. II. Mesmerized by Jesus. Small Group Questions: 1. In Luke 10:38-42, what do you learn about who Jesus is from the way He responds to Martha...and what does that reveal about His heart toward you? 2. Martha is distracted by good things, not bad things. What “good things” in your life are most likely causing you to miss Jesus right now? 3. Mary is focused on the person of Jesus, not just a general idea of God. What’s the difference...and how does that show up in your daily life? 4. Jesus says, “one thing is necessary.” How does what He has already done for you free you from striving...and invite you to rest your attention on Him? 5. What would it look like this week (especially Holy Week) not just to avoid missing Jesus...but to be captivated by Him? Where might you need to slow down, listen, and give Him your attention?
