Sermon Outline Next Steps Finding That One Thing Stephen Covey writes in his book, First Things First, People expect us to be busy and overworked. It s become a status symbol in our society if we re busy, we re important; if we re not busy, we re embarrassed to admit it. Busyness is where we get our security, it s validating, popular and pleasing, and it s also a good excuse for not dealing with the things that are most important in our lives. Luke 10:38-42 (NLT), As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord s feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, Lord, doesn t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me. But the Lord said to her, My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her. 1. The pressing can crowd out the needful 2. The good can crowd out the best 3. The temporal can crowd out the eternal

Sermon Outline Matthew 6:19-20 (NLT), Don t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Hebrews 11:24-25 (NLT), It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh s daughter. He chose to share the oppression of God s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin. Reflection Genesis 19:27 (NLT), Abraham got up early that morning and hurried out to the place where he had stood in the Lord s presence. Daniel 6:10 (NLT), But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God. Acts 10:9 (CEV), About noon the next day as they came near Joppa, Peter was going up to the roof to pray. Mark 1:35 (CEV), Very early the next morning, Jesus got up and went to a place where he could be alone and pray. Time with God will drain you of your weaknesses so that God can fill you with His strength. Time with God will drain you of your will so that God can fill you with His will. Time with God will drain you of you so that God can fill you with Himself.
