Worry About Many Things or Focus on One ...

Josh Kelsey
About this episode

In this week's message, Pastor Josh Kelsey explored the story of Mary and Martha and the progression Martha takes to become filled with worry. Through her story, we see there are three phases of worry and it's single solution: to sit and listen to Jesus. You could be doing the most important work for Jesus and still not be worshipping if your attention is misplaced. God isn't saying the things around you don't matter, but instead says "I can carry the care."
