One Thing

If you could have one thing today, what would it be?  Our wants and desires reveal much about our heart for God.  In this final episode of the "One Thing" series, we learn that David's one desire was to be near God.  David describes this desire in three ways.  Do you know what they are?

The Lord said the one thing He wants us to remember is that time is nothing compared to eternity.  Don't be ignorant of the fact that our choices during time will have eternal consequences when time is no more.  Do what matters!

Often it seems we live by lists because they are the only way to keep track of everything we have to do! But what is one task that is paramount to every Christian? Today we will hear that the pursuit of Christ isn't just another task on our to do list. He is the list!

There is much in life we do not know or understand, but God has a purpose in all things and He is at work in our lives.  The blind man didn't know how or why Jesus healed Him, but he joyfully declared the one thing he did know.  And that's what we must do!  The one thing we know, that Christ has saved us, is the one thing we must make known.

We learn today about the one thing that Jesus said is needful.  In a world where we are so often busy, let's discover together the one thing Jesus declares to be necessary.  In this passage, Mary demonstrates the priority of worship.

Authority.  All areas of life require it, and we are called to make Christ the Authority of our lives.  When He is not in control, we experience chaos and conflict.  Are you courageous enough to ask God to reveal to you the one area where He is not on the throne of your life?  

The greatest "lack" or deficiency we have in this life is not material but physical.  The rich young man in today's passage was unwilling to surrender his riches in exchange for the treasures of following Jesus.  What's the one thing that prevents you from fully following Jesus? 

In today's passage the religious leaders were actually angry that Jesus had healed a man because He did it on the Sabbath.  Jesus asks them one question to reveal their sinful attitude.  What one thing is God probing your heart about - trying to reveal to you?  What's your "one thing?"
