Bernard Fell preaches on the story of Martha and Mary, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing time with the Lord over busyness and distractions. He highlights how Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to His Word, showing that true worship involves both service and communion with God. Bernard encourages the congregation to focus on building a relationship with the Lord through regular time in His presence, drawing from the well of His unfathomable love before ministering to others.

Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His Word. Luke 10:39 Martha, Mary, loving sisters, In their home, a place of rest, Entertained, with hearts o'erflowing, Jesus, Lord, a royal Guest. Martha bustled in the kitchen To prepare a worthy meal, But, alas, with chores distracted, Over-anxious in her zeal. Mary, though her sister chided, At His feet with heart prepared, Not unmindful of her duties, Also sat to hear His Word. Taken up alone with service, We may worship what we do, And forget that first and foremost 'Tis the Lord we keep in view. There is freedom in love's labour, With the soul on joyful wing, For the good part, and most needful, Is communion with the King. Ah, the Lord hath greater pleasure, While He serves, our Great High Priest, To provide for His dear people From His Word a sumptuous feast. From the Fount of living waters, We must drink, yea, more and more, From the well of love unfathomed, Ere for others we can draw.
