First Cary UMC's First Sanctuary Sermon – Rev. Ben Alexander – December 7, 2025

Scripture: Luke 10:38-42

Jesus visits the home of two sisters, Martha and Mary. While Martha is busy with preparations, Mary sits at Jesus’ feet. Frustrated, Martha asks Jesus to tell Mary to help her. But Jesus gently corrects her and us all, encouraging us to sit in his presence and choose him over our presumption that we can make everything turn out perfectly. To be unhurried is to choose the better part as we prepare for Christmas.
