Do you Thirst for God?

from Sunday Service on SermonAudio Hosted by Stephen Ergos

This sermon explores the spiritual posture of Mary of Bethany as a model for believers seeking a deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It contrasts Mary's focused devotion, characterized by sitting at Jesus' feet to hear His word, with Martha's distraction by service and the desire for recognition. The message emphasizes that true worship requires humility, the willingness to be a fool for Christ, and the sacrifice of personal comfort or reputation to prioritize God above all else. By examining Mary's actions in Luke 10, John 11, and Mark 14, the preacher illustrates that genuine faith involves an unashamed, intimate connection with the Savior that withstands external criticism and mockery. The central call is for believers to abandon superficial religiosity and instead pursue a heartfelt, sacrificial worship that reflects a true thirst for God's presence.
