Martha becomes frustrated with Mary’s absence from the work, and protests to Jesus, and Jesus tells her, “Martha, you’re anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. We meet Mary and Martha in Luke 10, when Jesus stays at their house, and Mary sits at Jesus’s feet while Martha bustles around and serves everyone. Mary and Martha and Lazarus are siblings. This story is about the love of Jesus for them, and the love of Jesus for you. “Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus” (11:5). The love of Jesus permeates this story in some surprising, even shocking, ways. Because John 11 is all about the love of Christ. (3:14-19)Īnd so, because that prayer is still on our lips, it’s fitting that this Easter Sunday, we will be reflecting together on John 11. In the second sermon of the series, Pastor Jonathan preached from Ephesians 3, which includes this prayer:įor this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith-that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

That series marked a transition in the life of this church, from a church being planted to now a church becoming rooted. We’ve just finished the Rooted sermon series.
