Friday Focus - January 9, 2026

January 9, 2026

Hey Faith Family,

This Sunday we're diving into a topic I think will resonate with a lot of us: what happens when life gets so full that we lose sight of what actually matters most?

We'll be looking at the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10, along with Jesus' words in Matthew 6:33 about seeking first the kingdom of God. Martha wasn't doing anything wrong—she was busy with good things.  But somewhere in all the activity, she missed the better thing right in front of her.

Before we gather, take some time this week to sit with these questions:

• When do I feel most at peace?  When do I feel most anxious?  What does that reveal about what I'm trusting in?
• What would it look like to bring God into the everyday decisions I'm facing this week—not just the "spiritual" ones?
• If I could only focus on three things this year, what would they be?  Are those three things currently getting my best attention?

I'm looking forward to exploring this together, and I'm so excited to officially be at Faith Family.  Come ready to be honest with yourself—and know that Jesus always meets us with grace.

See you Sunday,

Ben
