Are You Trying to Earn God’s Approval? Presence VS Performance Explained - (EP 4)

Описание: Are you serving God to be accepted—or because you already are? In this episode, Pastor Greg walks through the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10 to uncover a deeper truth about motives, comparison, and identity.

Jesus didn’t condemn Martha’s work—He addressed her troubled heart. This teaching reveals how serving from insecurity leads to burnout, but serving from relationship leads to joy. With insight from James, Mark 10, John 13, and Matthew 25, Pastor Greg shows how Jesus modeled servant leadership while fully secure in His identity as Lord and Master.

You’ll learn the difference between moralism and transformation, presence over performance, and why all effective service must flow from knowing you are loved and accepted.

Choose the good part. Serve from a full cup—not an empty one.
