Don't Lose the One While Serving the Many | The Better Portion in Luke 10

Most people think the story of Mary and Martha is simply about being too busy.But what if Jesus is teaching something even deeper?In today's Focused Edition, we step back and look at Luke 10 as a whole. Just before Jesus visits Martha and Mary, He tells the story of the Good Samaritan - a story about serving others. Then He lovingly redirects Martha - not because serving is wrong, but because serving was beginning to distract her from the One who gave it meaning in the first place. When Jesus says Mary has chosen the "one thing worth being concerned about," He isn't telling us to love people less. He's reminding us not to lose the One while we're so busy with the many.When Jesus stays at the center, everything else begins to find its proper place.🎙 Don't Miss the Family Edition!The Family Edition is the complete Lifeline Morning Show experience with music talk, conversation, encouragement, and moments you won't hear in the Focused Edition, including:🎒 Grace's hilarious "Get Ready With Me" video as she prepares for middle school - and her strong opinion about summer reading.🎢 A Point Mallard Water Park Family 4-Pack Giveaway and plenty of summer fun.📅 This Day in History | The Good Stuff🎥 Watch the Family Edition hereEpisode:https://youtu.be/DrAOu02y-LIPlaylist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX5CERbCPq2_QPwU-2iG5FnKwAYZMfcEo📻 Come Hang Out Live!Join the Lifeline Morning Show every weekday from 6:00–10:00 AM Central on 88.5 JFM.🌐 Listen anywhere:https://885jfm.comClick "On Now" and press Play.We'd love to have you become part of the JFM family!❓Question of the DayWhat tends to distract you most from spending time with Jesus?🎧 Today's Spotify Playlisthttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/4RzqZ5lwTXtZz0nwiXYOhF?si=8Pvc-ghDRzyFX4UNUOgplQ🎵 Featured SongsOne Thing Remains — Passion ft.
