Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

In this sermon, Pastor Dan Swanson dives deep into Luke 10:38-42, the story of Jesus visiting Mary and Martha in Bethany, to explore prioritization, distractions, and the danger of elevating good things above Godly things. Are you busy, tired, anxious, or overwhelmed? This message will challenge you to take inventory of your life, root out distractions, and choose the one thing that is needed—time at Jesus’ feet.

Key Themes:
1. What is a distraction? “Something that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else.”

2. How Satan uses distractions to keep Christians off track, burdened, and spiritually exhausted.

3. The modern struggle: 74 gigs of daily information—more than a person 500 years ago consumed in a lifetime.

4. Are we happier with all our knowledge, devices, and busyness? Or more anxious and unfulfilled?

5. Martha’s story: Good intentions turned into worry, frustration, and trouble when service overshadowed sitting with Jesus.

6. Mary’s choice: Prioritizing Jesus’ words over everything else—and Jesus says it will not be taken from her.

Warning Signs You’re Distracted From Jesus:
1. Tied to phones, screens, news, and notifications.

2. Overloaded schedules and demanding responsibilities.

3. Serving out of duty, guilt, or compulsion—not delight.

4. Anxiety, frustration, or resentment toward others not “helping.”

This sermon is perfect for Christians struggling with busyness and burnout, for anyone feeling spiritually distracted or dry, for Bible study groups on discipleship and devotion, and for parents, workers, students overwhelmed by modern life. Discover how to choose the one thing that matters most—a life centered on Jesus, not just doing things for Him, but being with Him.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
