November 24, 2024 • Rev. Glyn Norman • Matthew 11:28–30
Jesus calls those who are weary and burdened to come to him and receive rest. What are we burdened by? Guilt, shame, disappointment... we can bring it all to him and find forgiveness, grace, mercy. His yoke is easy and He is gentle with us. In him our souls find rest. (Augustine: Our souls are restless until they find their rest in Him)

Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me is not worthy of me, and who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Matthew 10:37
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 10:39
"Run to the Battle"
October 27, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Bryan Eckelmann • Matthew 7:28—8:4
As Jesus comes down from the mountain (where he taught God's Law), he now applies that law by helping people. But not just "people"-- outsiders! No circumstance will keep you or me from worshiping, asking for, and receiving the grace of Jesus.
