Welcome back to the TABLES series — where we explore moments when Jesus gathered around a table and transformed lives. This week, Adam Woods invites us into the home of two sisters, Mary and Martha, for a powerful lesson on presence over performance.

Have you ever been so busy doing things for someone that you forgot to simply be with them?

In Luke 10, Martha hustles to serve Jesus while Mary simply sits at His feet and listens. It’s a story that flips our assumptions—because in a culture that glorifies busyness, Jesus gently reminds us of what matters most.

💬 “Few things are needed—or indeed only one.”

Mary chose to sit with Jesus. And Jesus said it was better.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• Why being WITH Jesus must come before doing FOR Jesus

• How distraction—even in good things—can distance us from intimacy with Christ

• What it means to adopt a new resolution: “I want to know Christ.”

🙌 Be encouraged to slow down, eliminate hurry, and re-center your life around what really matters—time at the feet of Jesus.

🪑 Pull up a seat. Let’s choose what is better.
