The Better Part

Overview: 

  • Advent serves to remind us of Christ's first coming and to prepare for his second.
  • The message contrasts distraction and worry (Martha) with focus and faith (Mary).
  • True preparation for Christ involves seeking the Holy Spirit and living out the fruits of the Spirit.
  • Prayer is not just about asking for solutions, but about receiving God's presence and
    transformation.
  • The 'better part' is to live from faith, not just hope for it.
