In this sermon, the focus is on the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—as the central object of Christian worship. Looking especially at John 14, we see Jesus unfolding His relationship with the Father and the promise of the Holy Spirit, showing that true worship flows from knowing the triune God. Deacon Corey Holt urges us not to be “busy like Martha” and miss the “good part” of sitting at Jesus’ feet in adoring, informed worship.
Key themes:
- The Trinity is not just one doctrine among many, but the fountainhead of all Christian truth and worship.
- Our first calling is not to busyness in ministry, but to sit at Jesus’ feet like Mary and worship.
- To worship God rightly, we must know Him as He has revealed Himself—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life”; there is no other way to the Father, no other truth, no other real life.
- The Holy Spirit indwells believers, brings Christ’s words to remembrance, and applies God’s truth to our hearts.
- The ordinary means of grace—especially the public preaching of the Word—are how God regularly feeds and forms His people.

Questions to consider:
- Am I more like Martha—busy and distracted—or like Mary—sitting at Jesus’ feet to know and worship Him?
- How does seeing God as triune (Father, Son, and Spirit) deepen my understanding of worship?
- Do I approach the Sunday gathering and the preaching of the Word as an ordinary routine or as God’s primary means to feed and shape my soul?
