Sunday 17th May 2026 // Morning // Luke 10:38-42 // Mary and Martha

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches Luke 10:38-42 at morning worship on Sunday 17th May 2026 in First Ards. Martha welcomes and serves Jesus, but her good service becomes anxious distraction. Mary simply sits at his feet, listening to his word. Jesus doesn’t despise practical service, but he lovingly shows that one thing is needed above all: Christ himself. As Jesus travels towards Jerusalem, he goes to serve weary, distracted sinners through the cross. We’re invited to come to him, receive his mercy and serve from hearts resting in his grace.
