Jeremy Utley - Am I Partaking of the Father's Heart?
Summary
The central message is to resist a transactional approach to faith, where one approaches God only when needing something or having a task. Drawing from the example of Mary choosing the 'good part,' the speaker emphasizes that simply sitting at Jesus' feet and drawing near to Him is sufficient. Furthermore, the sermon warns against looking upon others—whether fellow believers or unbelievers—with contempt, urging instead to adopt the humble, needy posture of the publican.
