Do you struggle with the need for control, anxiousness, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or performance mentality? If so, there's so much good news for you!
In this message, The Rhythms of a Healthy Soul, Pastor Levi Lusko examines The Chosen's powerful portrayal of Martha and Mary, revealing the essential rhythms of a healthy soul and why sitting at Jesus' feet isn't selfish - it's necessary.
From The Chosen Season 4, Episode 5 "Sitting, Serving, Scheming" - witness the tension between Martha's elaborate dinner preparations and Mary's choice to sit at Jesus' feet as His disciple. This isn't about correcting hospitality, but about choosing the best thing over good things.
Scripture Focus: Luke 10:38-42
Discover why Jesus defended Mary's choice and gently corrected Martha's distraction. Set just six months before the cross, this scene in Bethany reveals what we all need: to learn the unforced rhythms of grace and find rest for our souls.
4 Lessons for a Healthy Soul:
- Good things can keep you from the best things.
- When you focus on others, you leave yourself unattended.
- Work without worship is wearying.
- When you lose your why, you lose your way.
Jesus' invitation: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace."
