Are you overwhelmed by doing too much and still feeling spiritually empty? In this powerful Lutheran sermon from Pastor David Balla, we turn to Luke 10:38–42 and learn why Jesus calls listening better than striving. Titled “The Better Portion,” this Christ-centered message from the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) teaches that the most important thing in life is not what we do for Jesus, but what we receive from Him.
In a world of distractions and performance, Jesus gently calls us—like Mary—to sit at His feet and hear His Word. Discover why hearing Christ’s Word, receiving His forgiveness, and resting in His peace is the one thing needful. This sermon will bless pastors, laity, seekers, and anyone hungry for grace.
Whether you’re exploring Lutheran theology, seeking solid biblical preaching, or needing rest in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, this message will anchor you in the peace that only He gives.
