*Are you too busy serving God to actually spend time with Him? What does the Bible say about rest, busyness, and finding peace in Jesus?* In *Luke 10:38–42**, Jesus visits the home of two sisters, Mary and Martha. While Martha works hard preparing everything for her guests, Mary simply sits at Jesus' feet and listens. When Martha complains, Jesus offers a surprising response: **Mary has chosen what is better.* In this message from *Arise Church in Fenton, Missouri**, we continue our *Hear and Obey sermon series by exploring the story of Mary and Martha, the importance of spiritual rest, and what Jesus teaches about balancing service, responsibilities, and time with God. In a world filled with endless to-do lists, distractions, and expectations, it's easy to believe that following Jesus means constantly doing more. But *Christian discipleship isn't just about what we do for Jesus—it's about spending time with Him.* Sometimes, the most important thing we can do is stop, sit, listen, and rest in God's presence. *Are you making time to be with Jesus—or are you too busy doing things for Him?*
