Worship Recap: Sunday, August 16 2026 Worship Recap: Rev.Kori Robins continued our Overcoming Sermon Series preaching on Overcoming Envy(Luke 10:38-42).
"Martha is doing everything right — and it's eating her alive. When envy creeps in disguised as busyness and grievance, peace slips out the back door. In this look at Luke 10:38–42, we ask what it costs us to keep score with the people beside us, and what Jesus offers instead: not less work, but a different center of gravity. Sometimes the obstacle to peace isn't what we're doing — it's what we think someone else got to skip."

Please take some time this week to contemplate these discussion questions.
1. Martha's envy isn't named outright in the text, but it's there in her question: "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself?" Where in your own life does busyness mask a quieter resentment — a sense that someone else has chosen the easier, better portion?
2. Jesus doesn't rebuke Martha's hospitality itself, only her worry and distraction. What's the difference between serving out of love and serving out of a need to be seen or to keep score?
3. Mary chooses to sit and listen rather than compare herself to her sister's activity. What would it look like for you to choose "the one thing" this week instead of measuring your worth against someone else's portion?
4. Envy often grows in the space between what we're doing and what we imagine someone else is doing instead. How might naming that comparison honestly — rather than letting it simmer — open a path back to peace?
