(Matt. 5:20-26 KJV) "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceedthe righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into thekingdom of heaven. 21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shaltnot kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say untoyou, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of thejudgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of thecouncil: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Thereforeif thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath oughtagainst thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first bereconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thineadversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversarydeliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be castinto prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, tillthou hast paid the uttermost farthing."

Proverbs 3:5-7 (NKJV) "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on yourown understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct yourpaths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil."

Sermon Text: (Luke 10:38-42 NKJ)

"Now it happened as they went that He

entered a certain village; and a certain

woman named Martha welcomed Him

into her house. And she had a sister called

Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard

His word. But Martha was distracted with

much serving, and she approached Him

and said, "Lord, do You not care that my

sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore

tell her to help me." And Jesus answered

and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are

worried and troubled about many things.

"But one thing is needed, and Mary has

chosen that good part, which will not be

taken away from her."

(Ps. 66:1-9 NKJ) "Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! 2 Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious. 3 Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. 4 All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name." Selah 5 Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men. 6 He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot. There we will rejoice in Him. 7 He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah 8 Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard, 9 Who keeps our soul among the living, And does not allow our feet to be moved."

(Jn. 3:16 ESV) "For God so loved theworld, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

(Col. 1:3-14 NKJ) "We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; 5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit. 9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins."
