The People of the Kingdom | Luke 10:38-42

Luke 10:38-42 - In this tender and convicting message, Pastor Rob invites us to consider where we’re sitting—at Jesus’ feet like Mary, or distracted in the kitchen like Martha. While Martha was doing good and honorable work, even serving the Lord Himself, she became burdened and anxious when her serving took precedence over her relationship with Jesus. Rob reminds us that ministry can easily become a substitute for intimacy, and that Jesus gently calls us back—not with condemnation, but with compassion: “Only one thing is necessary.” The invitation is clear. In a world pulling us in a thousand directions, will we choose the better portion—simply being with Jesus?

Has my serving become a substitute for truly sitting with Jesus? What distractions am I letting pull me away from His presence? What might it look like this week to choose the “better portion”?
