The story of Martha and Mary is dangerous material for preachers. By the very nature of the story, it can offend hard-working cooks. And as much as I enjoy eating, that is the last thing I want to do. A minister I knew in Illinois told me that after he preached on this passage, there was a woman in his church that exploded in anger at him, "How could you preach a sermon like that after you've eaten so much of my cooking!"

MICHAEL'S WEEKLY PODCAST
-
Steve Sjogren is author of the new book Outflow, which reflects his approach to “outward focused evangelism” – a philosophy that guided the growth of Vineyard Community Church in Cincinnati from 30 to more than 6,000 weekly, and which now guides a cluster of churches he is planting in the Tampa area. He visits with Michael about the book and about his own approach to preaching that connects with people.
