Due to technical difficulties, we only have the audio portion of this sermon. Rev. Baker challenges the congregation to gain the intolerable burden, which is an intense agony, grief, and alarm at the status quo in our personal lives, in the church, and in the world.

The sermon expounds on Galatians 6:2, urging believers to continuously bear one another's burdens as a fulfillment of the law of Christ. It argues that this command is rooted in the character of God, who has historically carried His people through their trials, and that true Christianity is marked by a selfless, caring community rather than individualism. The preacher contrasts the coldness of self-sufficient churches with the warmth of genuine Christian love, using personal anecdotes and biblical examples to illustrate how believers should sustain one another. The message emphasizes that bearing burdens is not merely a social duty but a gospel issue that evidences salvation and reflects the heart of Christ, who stooped to lift humanity from its lowest point.

Exodus 18 — Moses led millions and still needed his father-in-law to tell him: "This is not good." You need a Jethro too. This family integrated church lesson walks through Exodus 18 — Jethro's advice to Moses — teaching the whole church family, children included, that God gives us many trusted helpers, not just one, and that asking for help isn't failing, it's wisdom. Parents will see a model for building a child's circle of trusted adults; everyone will see why one person insisting on being someone's only confidant is a warning sign, not a compliment. Moses was judging every dispute for the entire nation of Israel, alone, from morning to evening. Jethro didn't rebuke him — he asked one honest question, "Why?" — and helped Moses see a burden he could no longer see for himself. This message applies that same pattern to marriage, homeschooling, church ministry, and raising children who know how to spot a true trusted helper from a false one. This verse-by-verse walk through Exodus 18 covers: - Why God gives children (and adults) more than one trusted grown-up - The warning sign when someone insists on being your only confidant - Moses honoring Jethro before ever receiving his advice - "Praise, Correct, Praise" — how to give correction that's actually received - Why a wise helper deflects glory to God instead of collecting it - How Jethro confronted Moses without lecturing — one question: "Why?" - The single point of failure every overloaded leader and parent creates - Delegation as obedience, not just good advice agreed with

Some burdens are not immediately crushing. They become heavy because we carry them for a long time. Family responsibilities. Financial pressure. Temptation. Grief. Leadership. Disappointment. The responsibility of caring for others. The pressure to remain faithful when nobody seems to notice. The weight may not change, but fatigue changes how the weight feels. ⛪ ABOUT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCHES: We believe that our Calvary Baptist Churches are a movement for all people to know God, Reaching Others, Building Lives, Honouring God and Make a Difference. 🤝 Support this ministry and help us reach more people with the Gospel: https://cbcgb.co.uk/give/ STAY CONNECTED: 🌐 Website: https://cbcgb.co.uk/ 🌐 Website: https://bjstagner.com 👍 Facebook: / Calvary Baptist Church-Cynon Valley 👍 Facebook: / Cardiff-Calvary Baptist Church 📸 Instagram: / @cibc_cynonvalley 📸 Instagram: / @calvary_cardiff 🎥 YouTube: / @calvarybaptistchurchesofGB

We see the Prophet Daniel confessing his sins and the sins of the people, asking God to be merciful to us. He cause us mourn and sigh for the things being done in the earth. when we began to bear the burdens of others, Realizing that whatever come what may we can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, giving me the opportunity to warn others of God's word. We as a Kingdom of Priest have to start to pray, teach and lead the people of God into the Kingdom of God.

A couple of God's providences to us this week observed and reflected on.

Kevin Inman discusses the mission and history of the Baptist Collegiate Ministry at Louisiana Tech, highlighting its centennial celebration and long-standing family legacy in campus ministry. He emphasizes the critical importance of reaching students during their first weeks on campus through relational outreach and shared meals to combat spiritual drift. The conversation underscores the vital role of the Southern Baptist Cooperative Program in funding full-time ministers and supporting global missions without the burden of individual fundraising. Inman shares personal anecdotes of student conversions and the power of intentional evangelism, noting that college ministry serves as a primary pipeline for future missionaries. He encourages churches to actively support these ministries financially and through prayer to ensure the gospel reaches young adults effectively.

Clean Your Conscience (Hebrews 9:14) The sermon explores the nature of the human conscience as a God-given moral alarm that testifies to right and wrong, yet warns that this inner witness can become seared or corrupted through denial, rationalization, and habitual sin. It argues that religious rituals, self-improvement, or mere knowledge cannot remove the burden of guilt before a holy God. The central message emphasizes that only the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ, offered without spot to God, has the power to truly purge the conscience from dead works. This divine cleansing does not merely silence feelings of shame but deals with the objective reality of sin, granting peace and enabling believers to serve the living God with a renewed heart. The preacher urges listeners to stop hiding their guilt and instead trust in Christ's finished work for complete forgiveness and restoration.
