Luke 10:38-42

Pastor Jon Bryars examines the familiar story of Mary and Martha, in which Jesus visits their home and Martha busies herself with preparations while Mary sits at his feet and listens. The sermon draws a sharp contrast between distracted service and devoted attention, highlighting Jesus' declaration that Mary has chosen "the good portion, which will not be taken away from her." Pastor Bryars uses this passage from Luke 10 to challenge listeners to examine where they place their priorities, arguing that sitting in the presence of Christ takes precedence over frantic religious activity.
