WHO WAS BETTER - MARY OR MARTHA? | LUKE 10 BIBLE STUDY - The Way UK | Lyssna här

Join Izzy, Zoe, and Michelle for the final episode of the encounters with Jesus series as they explore the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, unpacking what it means to sit at the feet of Jesus in the midst of busyness, why Jesus gently corrects Martha not to condemn her but to call her higher, and how both serving and sitting are essential but one thing is needed above all else. This episode dives deep into the tension between Martha's hospitality and Mary's radical decision to sit at Jesus' feet as a student and disciple, revealing what it looks like to discern when to serve and when to rest, why Jesus calling Martha by name twice is deeply significant, and how the placement of this story right after the parable of the Good Samaritan shows us that loving our neighbour and sitting at Jesus' feet are not opposites but part of the same call to follow Him.
