Are you a Martha or are you a Mary?In this week&apos;s lectionary text, Mary is sitting at Jesus&apos; feet listening to His Word. Martha is doing the opposite: she&apos;s frantically busy with all of her other tasks. Sarah Stenson and Dr. Chris Croghan explain how the depiction of Mary and Martha show us how the law and the gospel function on your conscience and what you should look for in your church&apos;s mission statement.  Questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:<ul><li>Does Jesus have the authority to make Mary help Martha?</li><li>How is hospitality in the law?</li><li>Where is the Gospel?</li></ul>Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?

God Wants to Hear From You | Luke 11:1-13 with Lars Olson

Three millennials sit down with Lutheran theologians to understand how Scripture is working in our lives.
