Worship Service, January 10th

What if the church was a baggage drop off for our burdens? Jesus tells us in Mathew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Jesus is not talking about eggs when he uses the word “yoke.” Large animals like oxen would wear large beams on their shoulders called “yoke” to pull heavy loads. Jesus is using this as symbolism for the emotional and spiritual burdens we are dealing with. He tells us to bring them before Him, so we can find rest. God does not expect us to deal with life all on our own. Reflect on this passage and listen to the following songs that we will be singing this Sunday as you prepare your heart for worship.
