Sound House Church

In this sermon titled "The One Thing" part of the "Called" series, we explore the vital "Call to Presence" through the well-known story of Mary and Martha of Bethany. By examining Luke 10:38–42, we address the modern struggle with "fragmented attention" and the "tyranny of the urgent" that often leaves us feeling anxious and "dragged all around" by life's many obligations. While Martha is often criticized for her busyness, this message highlights her incredible journey of faith—from being distracted by "many things" to ultimately anchoring her service in the "one thing" that matters most: the presence of Christ. Rather than calling us to abandon our responsibilities, Jesus invites us to reorder the flow of our lives so that our work becomes an overflow of our relationship with Him, ensuring our "spokes" of daily activity remain securely connected to the "hub" of His peace and purpose
