Open Heaven for Teens 1st March 2024 TOPIC: The Most Important Thing

MEMORISE: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. Luke 10:42

READ: Luke 10:40-42
[40]But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
[41]And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
[42]But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Open Heaven for Teens 1 March 2024 MESSAGE:

Many young people are preoccupied with getting better grades, having more money, being more likeable, attractive, trendy, et cetera. While it is not sinful to have these things, they are, however, not enough to make you ‘complete. Your greatest pursuit in life should be to know God’s word and live by it so that it will build your life and influence your character.

In Luke 10, when Jesus visited Mary and Martha in their home, Martha thought to give Him a treat, so she hurried into the kitchen to fix Him a meal. Mary, however, thought that the Master’s presence in their house was an opportunity of a lifetime to get her enriched, so she sat at Jesus’ feet and listened to Him with rapt attention. Martha then complained that Mary had left her to do the chores all by herself, but Jesus commended Mary’s faith and passion for the word. He noted that Mary gave attention to what was most important while Martha had her priorities wrong.

My dear, nothing is as important as the word.

KEY POINT:
Go for the word, in it is everything you need to succeed in life.

HYMN 14 – STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD
1. Standing on the promises of Christ our King,
Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring:
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

CHORUS
Standing, Standing,
Standing on the promises of
God my Saviour
Standing, Standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

2 Standing on the promises that can-not fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living word of Go I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

3. Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.

4. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
