Are you begging for a scorpion? Pastor Jared Herd examines the story of Mary and Martha and how Jesus’ teaching on prayer shows us Martha’s distracted focus. When we’re valuing the right things in life, we approach God first with submission, and then present our requests. We can relinquish control by submitting and re-ordering our hearts according to his will.

What “nonnegotiable” commitments get in the way of spending time with Jesus? Pastor Jared dives into Luke 10 and discusses Mary’s commitment to only one thing. Rather than falling into the shallow trap of busyness and worry like Martha, we can embrace the mundane and push time with the Lord to the top of our list.
