Worship and Work

The sermon discusses the familiar story of Mary and Martha from Luke's Gospel, emphasizing the importance of balancing service with worship. While Martha is preoccupied with serving, Mary chooses to sit and learn at Jesus' feet.

The sermon highlights the dangers of putting work before worship, suggesting that such an imbalance can lead to divided priorities, a distorted view of God, decreased emotional health, and deprivation of our greatest resource—time with God.

Pastor Zach Terry encourages creating more margin in life, focusing on what God wants us to do, honoring the rhythm of Sabbath and corporate worship, having a designated time and place for meeting with God, and teaching others to do the same.

The key takeaway is the importance of prioritizing personal worship and time with God to ensure that service and ministry come from a place of spiritual fullness and alignment with God's will.
