In a world that celebrates busyness, Jesus calls us to something better. From Luke 10:38–42, this message explores the story of Mary and Martha to show how busyness can distract us from what matters most—being with Jesus. Learn how to slow down, embrace Sabbath rest, and serve from intimacy rather than exhaustion. Discover the freedom and peace that come from resting in Christ’s finished work.

In 1 Peter 3:15, Peter calls believers to set apart Christ as Lord, always ready to give a defense for the hope within us. Sharing our faith begins with worship, flows from preparation, and is carried out with gentleness. Evangelism isn’t about winning arguments but pointing people to Jesus through words and transformed lives. We proclaim His death until He comes.

In Mark 10:42–45, Jesus redefines greatness—not as power over others but as service to others. While the world defines greatness by authority and status, Christ calls His followers to humility, sacrifice, and service. He points to Himself as the ultimate example, the Son of Man who came not to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom. True biblical greatness is found in serving like Jesus.

In a world that is unraveling at the seams, the church should be the one place where Jesus is weaving people back together. In this message on the need for the community, we see the command for community, the requirements of community, and the results of community on the world and on us.

One of the greatest disciplines we should have as a follower of Jesus is to grow in God's Word. Psalm 1:1-3 tells us that we should delight in God's Word daily, meditate on God's Word deeply, and trust that God will develop fruit in our lives that will glorify Him.
