Sermon Intro

Week Of: January 25, 2021
Speaker: Pastor Will Hagenbuch
Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30
The pandemic has interrupted the 7-day week, which has been interrupted by a 24/7 lifestyle that has exponentially progressed since the early 70s. Many of us actually ask, "What day IS it?" because Sunday as a day of sabbath is so far gone.
 
Rest. Here. Now. A second. A minute. A moment. Just rest.
 
To do so, consider these words from Jesus. "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls (Matthew 11:28b."
Maybe some of the heavy lifting you've been doing these days is actually the wrong heavy lifting. Take Jesus' yoke, his faith and his philosophy, and replace strain and stress with gentleness and humility.
