Sermon Matthew11:25-30 Labor Day 09-06-1999
Boy we have a lost going on don't we
Busy here, busy there
Anybody just take it easy this weekend?
Get a holiday to rest from our labor, and fill it with stuff to do
Speaking of things to do, we have a lot of work to do
Not on the building,
But did you know that the world is going to end on Saturday night?
Jesus asks those who are weary to come to him
These is not a promise of a cruise, or a cabin in the woods
But coming to him , is a place of rest
The place of rest is him
it feels so good to be in church, in the presence of God
He says his yoke is easy, his burden is light
What is a yoke? [animal harness]
Explain how yokes are fitted and how they break in
He calls us to do that which we can, the things we are made for
It is amazing how little you on pull when it doesn't fit
How frustrating it is when you are engaged in that which isn't you
And how much you can pull when it does fit.
Following Christ, letting him lead,
will direct you to those pieces of life that fit, which provide meaning to your heart
So today we hear the promise of God, come to me and find rest.
Is he able to keep his promise? There is only one way to find out
Come to him, take the challenge, and find out what Christians have been experiencing for over 2000 years
Isaiah40:27-31 [read it]
they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength
