Busy Expectations

Feb 9, 2025    Pastor Bobby Brooks

Why do we do what we do? In Luke 10, a woman named Martha welcomes Jesus into her home, only to find herself, just moments later, overcome with distractions, stress, and worry. Why is that? How did she go from a posture of welcome to an anxious, troubled spirit? Where did this overwhelming expectation that she had to serve, she had to cook, she had to clean, she had to prepare everything come from? Like Martha, many of us are driven by unspoken, unrealized pressures that push and prod us through life. What if things didn't have to be like this? What if there was a better way? This week, as we continue to explore the various realities that limit our lives and cause us to settle for less than God intends for us, we'll unpack the unnamed pressures and unspoken expectations that so often drive us towards worry and stress and away from Jesus.
