There is Always Time

This message is a practical call to love our literal neighbors—those who live right around us. Anchored in the story of Mary and Martha from Luke 10, we're reminded that loving people well starts with choosing what’s most important over what simply feels urgent. Neighboring well means slowing down, saying “no” to distractions, and being willing to say “yes” to the mission of building relationships with the people God has placed nearby. Through examples from Jesus, Mary, Martha, and Matthew, we’re invited to be intentional, to make space in our schedules, and to remain open to interruptions. Because when we take time for people, we create room for God to work through us—and that’s how the mission moves forward, one neighbor at a time.
