Abraham, Martha, and Mary: Finding Places to Serve God

Description

A meditation preached at Lyncroft Centre, Toronto, on July 20, 2025.

In Genesis 18 we have the account of the appearance of the Lord to Abraham at the Oak of Mamre.  It is a wonderful account, in the heat of the day, with the cicada and the grasshoppers buzzing and the heat haze. Then we get a mirror image of this with the account of Bethany, and Jesus being treated, with his apostles by Martha and Mary. (Luke 10:38-42)

It's all about where we can contemplate God and serve him in our life. Framing our stresses, anxiety, our multiple tasks in the light of God's love.

Music: Michael Lee of Toronto.
