One To Another Radio February 11, 2025 Finding Rest: The Choice Between Chaos and Peace

Today, we're diving into a story that many of us can relate to, even if it happened ages ago. Imagine getting ready to host the most important guest ever, just like Martha did, when she had Jesus coming over. She was bustling about, ensuring everything was picture-perfect. Meanwhile, her sister Mary chose a different path—she simply sat at Jesus's feet, savoring every moment with Him.

This tale from the book of Luke isn't just a story but a lesson. It's about the choice we all face daily: do we get caught up in the whirlwind of tasks, like Martha, or do we find peace at the feet of something greater, like Mary did? Pastor Pete helps us see that rest isn't just something we stumble upon—it's a choice, a deliberate decision to prioritize what truly matters.

Pastor Pete also reflects on the common misconceptions about rest. We often think it'll just happen magically, but here’s the scoop—rest is all about intention and choice. So, come along on this journey as we explore how to find rest amidst the chaos, and remember, you're not alone in this struggle. Let's learn to value rest not as an escape, but as an important step toward a fuller life!
