Matt Romano — This message explores the story of Mary and Martha through the lens of Revelation 22:17—“The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’” It invites us to see that God is forming a Church not through productivity but through proximity. In a world of distraction, busyness, and performance, Jesus calls His Bride back to the “one thing necessary”: intimacy with Him. Like Mary, we are invited to sit, listen, and receive. Like Martha, we are challenged to release anxiety and come back to presence. This is not just about a moment—it’s about becoming a people who embody a bridal love, responding to the Spirit’s call to communion.
