ENCOUNTERS // Jesus Encounters the Distracted

Choosing the Better Portion: Finding Intimacy with Jesus in a Busy World explores the powerful story from Luke 10 where Jesus affirms Mary's choice to sit at His feet while gently correcting Martha's anxious service. This message reveals how we can experience deeper intimacy with God in our distraction-filled lives. Discover what it truly means to sit at Jesus' feet and how this heart posture transforms our spiritual practices from mere activities into life-changing encounters. Learn to recognize the warfare against God's presence in your life - from constant notifications to work demands to family responsibilities - and how to overcome these challenges. Understand why Mary was so drawn to Jesus even before witnessing His miracles, and examine whether familiarity has dulled your wonder of God's presence. This teaching provides practical applications for creating space to receive from God rather than always doing for Him, experiencing the transformation that comes only through His presence - healing, joy, peace and rest that cannot be taken away. Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed by busyness, struggling to prioritize time with God, or desiring deeper spiritual intimacy.

This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.
