Serve Like Martha, Rest Like Mary

The Bible teaches us that there is a kind of busyness that is “necessary” and if we can only see the value of choosing this necessity, the rest of our lives will fall into place. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Sonny explains this from the story of Mary and Martha.

Luke 10:38–42

38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
