Mary and Martha | Luke 10:38-42 | Shaq Hardy

About this episode

Shaq Hardy challenges listeners to prioritize being with Christ over busy ministry activities in his sermon on Luke 10:38-42.

Are you busy serving Jesus but forgetting to sit with Him? In this message, guest speaker Shaq Hardy challenges us to examine our own lives. In Luke 10:38-42, Jesus visits the home of two sisters, Mary and Martha. One is busy serving, the other is sitting at Jesus’ feet. When tension rises, Jesus gives a surprising response that reveals what truly matters in the life of a disciple. In this sermon, we explore how easy it is to become distracted by activity, even good ministry activity, while missing the most important thing: being with Christ. Jesus’ words to Martha remind us that devotion to Him must come before everything else.
