Bumper Sticker Theology: Honk for Jesus | 8/16/2026

We live in a world constantly competing for our attention, but what if our biggest distractions aren't necessarily bad things? In this message from Luke 10, we'll look at the familiar story of Mary and Martha and discover how easily good responsibilities can crowd out what matters most. Martha wasn't doing something wrong—she was simply so focused on serving Jesus that she became distracted from actually being with Jesus. Her story challenges us to examine the things filling our calendars, consuming our attention, and leaving us worried, exhausted, and unable to be fully present. Jesus offers a different way to live: move from the many, to the few, and ultimately to the one thing that matters most. We'll learn to identify what's competing for our attention, reduce and reorder our priorities, and make our relationship with Jesus the center of our lives. The question isn't simply, "What am I doing?" but "Is what has my attention right now really the most important thing?"
