Sitting Before Serving

Feb 11, 2026    Anthony Kim

Pastor Kim teaches from Luke 10:38-42, contrasting Martha's distraction with much serving against Mary's choice to sit at Jesus' feet and hear His word. The sermon highlights that true discipleship prioritizes receiving from Christ sitting before serving because the "one thing needful" (time with Jesus) cannot be taken away, unlike tasks or efforts. Jesus gently corrects Martha, emphasizing grace over performance, and shows that effective, joyful service flows from being filled by God's word first.
