The Good Part

Feb 2, 2025    Pastor Thomas-Steele Carr

In this sermon, we explore the story of Martha and Mary, highlighting how busyness can lead to bitterness—toward others and even toward God. Martha was distracted by serving, while Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet. Jesus gently corrected Martha, reminding her that only one thing is necessary—time with Him.

We often allow the many things in life to pull us away from the one thing that truly matters: our relationship with Jesus. Discipleship is a daily decision, and we must intentionally choose Jesus over distractions. Rather than seeing Jesus as a means to get to the good part, we must recognize that He is the good part. When we make Him our priority, we experience true peace, fulfillment, and purpose.
