In a world that rewards busyness, hurry, and constant productivity, Jesus offers a different invitation.
In Luke 10:38–42, we encounter the familiar story of Mary and Martha — not as a contrast between service and spirituality, but as a loving reordering of what matters most. Jesus does not rebuke Martha's service; He addresses her distraction. And He invites her — and us — back to the one thing necessary.
This message explores:
Why distraction, not rebellion, is one of the greatest threats to loving God
Why Jesus always says "Come to Me" before "Go for Me"
How to live as a Mary in a Martha world — at home, at work, and in church
Why presence must precede mission if our service is to remain life-giving
This sermon is part of the series "Our Yes Belongs to You", calling us to reorder our loves, reclaim our attention, and begin again at the feet of Jesus.
