    Rest For The Stressed

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 9, 2017

     | 24,993 views

    In this short passage, Jesus gives three simple invitations to bring rest for the stressed: come to Jesus, take his yoke, and learn from him. Here is the essence of Christian discipleship, to bind ourselves to our Lord 24/7.

    Matthew 11:28-30 Rest for the Stressed I choose our scripture each week from the Lectionary, which is a systematic reading through most of the Bible over the course of three years. On any given Sunday, it contains an Old Testament reading, a Psalm, a New Testament reading, and a passage from the ...read more

    Often quoted and very familiar to even people who don’t follow Jesus’ "Come to me" passage. But do we really understand what Jesus means by it? This passage is full of cultural specific references that could easily be lost if we don’t understand the cultu

    Memorial Day The Rest of the Story Matthew 11:25-30 May 25, 2008 Often quoted and very familiar to even people who don’t follow Jesus is His declaration, “Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” This is an amazing passage with a whole host of applications that can be ...read more

    Good morning, beloved. I am so excited to dive into the Word of God with you today.

    “Rest For The Stressed” will look at three commands Jesus gave for people who are weary and stressed out. Religion is a heavy burden, but Jesus invites us to experience real rest for our souls.

    ANXIETY WEIGHTS DOWN THE HEART Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. Proverbs 12:25 I have always warned ministers in training to be careful about what they preach.

    God created mankind out of love.

    Just about everyone has seen mechanical robots. These are made by us humans to make the workplace safer and easier, to make home chores easier, and to basically make life simpler.

     | 275 views

    Since we are saved by faith and not by works, there is no room for personal pride.

    3:27 “Where is boasting then? It is excluded.” Why does Paul bring this up to begin with? Why suddenly talk about boasting? You have to go back to verse 1. He asks, “What advantage does the Jew have?” And the ordinary Jew will answer, “I’ve been circumcised,” or “I have the law,” or “My people ...read more

    About spiritually tripping another person, or as Paul says, being a stumbling block to another Christian.

    Though one of the objectives of football is to knock the other guy down, tripping is not allowed. If the Packers' Ross Verba is blocking the Vikings' John Randle, trying to prevent him from sacking Brett Favre, he is not allowed to stick out his leg and trip him. If he does, and the referee sees ...read more

    No Sleepwalking Allowed Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 28, 2023
     | 382 views

    Sleepwalking is a dangerous practice, because those who practice it are unconscious, unaware of the dangers around them. In the same way, spiritual sleepwalking is dangerous, but moreso, because those who casually sleepwalk their way through life, expose themselves to deadly deceptions.

    Has anyone here ever been afflicted with somnambulism? Okay, does anyone even know what somnambulism is? Well, it's a technical term for sleepwalking. So, back to the original question--has anyone here ever had a sleepwalking experience? How did it go? Did anyone get hurt? The reason I ...read more

    No Tripping Allowed

    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,078 views

    Simple thought -- IF TRIPPING IS NOT ALLOWED IN FOOTBALL, a game where people are supposed to be knocking each other down, it CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN CHURCH, a place where people should be helping and holding one another other up.

    TITLE: NO TRIPPING ALLOWED SCRIPTURE: I CORINTHIANS 8:1-13 / ROMANS 14:1-12 Autumn is approaching and begins in just 12 days.
