In Part 1 of this powerful two-part message, Pastor Nick unpacks the story of Martha and Mary from Luke 10:38–42 in a sermon titled "At His Feet." Through the lens of sibling dynamics and spiritual priorities, we explore how Martha’s busyness—though well-intentioned—led to distraction, while Mary chose the better portion by sitting at Jesus’ feet.
