PRIMARY THINGS<\/u><\/b><\/h1>\n

Luke 10: 38- 11:4<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u00a0by Rev. Richard Jones<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

Posture and Priority<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Luke 10:38-42 (ESV) <\/b>
\n38 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.
\n39 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord\u2019s feet and listened to his teaching.
\n40 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, \u201cLord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.\u201d
\n41 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But the Lord answered her, \u201cMartha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,<\/span>
\n42 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 27:4 (ESV) <\/b>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after:<\/span> that I may dwell in the house of the LORD<\/span><\/span> all the days of my life,<\/span> to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD<\/span><\/span> and to inquire in his temple.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pattern of Prayer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Luke 11:1-4 (ESV) <\/b>
\n1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, \u201cLord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.\u201d
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And he said to them, \u201cWhen you pray, say:<\/span> \u201cFather, hallowed be your name.<\/span> Your kingdom come.<\/span><\/span>
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Give us each day our daily bread,<\/span>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and forgive us our sins,<\/span> for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.<\/span><\/span> And lead us not into temptation.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 9:10 (ESV) <\/b>
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD<\/span>, have not forsaken those who seek you.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Ephesians 1:7 (ESV) <\/b>
\n7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,<\/p>\n

James 1:13-14 (ESV) <\/b>
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Let no one say when he is tempted, \u201cI am being tempted by God,\u201d for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.<\/p>\n

Psalm 19:13 (ESV) <\/b>
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me!<\/span> Then I shall be blameless,<\/span> and innocent of great transgression.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV) <\/b>
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
