Stop Carrying the Load Alone: The Truth About God's Yoke | Pastor Jeff Collins

Описание: "We come to church weary. But we don't have to leave that way."

Life has a way of crushing us. We carry burdens from our jobs, our families, and our pasts. In this comforting message, Pastor Jeff Collins breaks down Jesus' famous invitation in Matthew 11: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden."

Many people think serving God adds more weight to their life. But Pastor Collins teaches us that the "Yoke" isn't a burden—it's a tool for help. Just like a mature ox takes the weight off the young ox, Jesus offers to carry the heavy end of your load.

In this message, we learn that God's Invitation is:
A Person: You don't need more rules; you need Jesus.
Personal: God wants intimacy with you on Monday, not just Sunday.
A Process: Why you have to "Learn of Him" to find peace.
A Promise: The guarantee of rest for your soul.

We often think that following God means adding more to our to-do list. But this Sunday, Pastor Jeff Collins reminded us that God’s invitation isn't about more work—it's about relief.

🙌🏾 The Oxen Principle: Pastor Collins taught us that a "yoke" was designed to put a young, inexperienced ox next to an older, stronger ox. The older ox pulls the heavy weight so the young one can just walk and learn.

Jesus is the Mature Ox. 🐂 When you yoke up with Him, He carries the heavy end of your divorce, your sickness, your financial stress, and your grief.

If you are tired of pulling the weight by yourself, it’s time to accept the Invitation.
