Listen to Ian as he guides us through the words of Jesus regarding humility and seeking God above all else. A child’s humility means they understand they have needs but are weak, they recognise the love and strength of the parents and are willing to give themselves into their care with no conditions.

Matthew 18:1-5 (NLT)

About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Listen to Lee as he shares how we can find rest in Jesus and avoid having to carry burdens in our own strength. The yoke of Jesus is easy and light compared with the yoke of others if we do not rebel against it.

Matthew 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.”

Listen as Jim unpacks scripture and reminds us to take hold of all that God has inshore for us.

Isaiah 54:1-6 MSG

“Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby.

Fill the air with song, you who’ve never experienced childbirth!

You’re ending up with far more children

than all those childbearing women.” God says so!

“Clear lots of ground for your tents!

Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big!

Use plenty of rope,

drive the tent pegs deep.

You’re going to need lots of elbow room

for your growing family.

You’re going to take over whole nations;

you’re going to resettle abandoned cities.

Don’t be afraid—you’re not going to be embarrassed.

Don’t hold back—you’re not going to come up short.

You’ll forget all about the humiliations of your youth,

and the indignities of being a widow will fade from memory.

When we come together we need to remember and recall the wonderful works of our God. The psalmist testifies to the Lords greatness before the people and celebrates the mighty deeds of the Lord, who is to be feared!

Psalm 111:1-4 (NLT)

Praise the Lord!

I will thank the Lord with all my heart

When we don’t walk in rest, but live in stress then we make wrong choices based on feelings are emotions. So many lack that ability, even believers to find rest, yet Jesus came that we may have rest from this life. He embodied the message of peace and rest.

Matthew 6:31-32  (CEV)

Don’t worry and ask yourselves, “Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?” Only people who don’t know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all of these.

Have you ever noticed how worry and anxiety drain your strength? You lay awake at night burdened with concerns. Instead, when worries begin to fill your mind, place those troubles in God’s capable hands. Prayer opens doors and brings calm to our minds, a mental health healing if you will against being anxious. God’s sovereignty means our prayers can be answered far beyond even what we can ask or imagine.

As a believer we need to understand that we need to depend on God for all. Humility helps us to understand that we have needs and we are weak therefore we should be willing to give ourselves into God's care with no conditions.

What is stopping you from believing God's promises and going up to take up the land that God has for you?

A life lived for Christ allows us to avoid carrying unnecessary burdens. We can truly find rest in Christ if we choose to accept Him and choose His yoke over others.
