Greetings, my friends. Tony Williams here. Welcome to SELDI - (Summit Evergreen Leader Development Insights).God promises us "Rest". This message will encourage you and give you rest. The weight of big goals that we set with God can feel holy and heavy at the same time. We open a different way forward: "rest" as a promise, not a luxury. Guided by the words of Jesus—“Come to me… and I will give you rest”—we explore how leaders, parents, and creators can stop forcing outcomes and start living from an intimate relationship with God. The mindset shift is simple and brave: trust the One who calls you to also carry you, and let your work flow from an "overflow" of His presence rather than pressure.God gives us the details for what rest actually looks like in real life. It starts with priority—seeking God first, meeting Him in Scripture, and letting the Holy Spirit speak a specific promise into your current season. From there, execution becomes lighter, joyful, and more focused. You still plan, lead, and deliver, but you refuse the lie that God's love must be earned or results must be manufactured. Instead, you work from overflow. God reveals the truth about the myth of busyness, naming it a tactic that distracts us from the Source of our strength and clarity.When you are weary, burdened, or simply stuck in hustle mode, this conversation offers practical steps and strong encouragement: speak confessions of trust, carve a quiet space, and hold fast to the promises God highlights for you. Expect God to give you renewed peace, sharper decisions, and a pace shaped by grace. He who promised is faithful, and He will do it. If this message lifts your heart, share it with a friend who needs rest today, subscribe for more weekly encouragement, and leave a review to help others find the truth that makes us free.Send Tony a Texthttps://www.seldicompany.com/
“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45 NLT) We’re a month removed from the Christmas season, although you wouldn’t know it from the number of people who still have their decorations up. Christmas is when we celebrate Jesus’ coming. But amidst the traditional readings, carols, and pageants of the season, one question that often gets overlooked is the most basic one of all: Why did Jesus come? Let’s look quickly at five different reasons. First, Jesus came to proclaim Good News to the spiritually hurting. Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor” (Luke 4:18 NLT). Not only did He proclaim the Good News, He was the Good News. He was the Messiah, the Savior the world had been waiting for. Second, Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted. Medical technology has made stunning advances in pain management, but there is still no cure for a broken heart. People struggle with all kinds of heartbreaking challenges—physical, relational, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Jesus understands. He lived as one of us. He experienced pain and betrayal and grief. He knows what we feel. The psalmist wrote of the Lord, “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds” (Psalm 147:3 NLT). Third, Jesus came to set people free who are bound by sin. He came to open our spiritual eyes to our spiritual need. One of the greatest tricks the devil ever pulled was convincing people who are slaves to sin that they are free. The apostle Paul wrote, “So Christ has truly set us free” (Galatians 5:1 NLT). Jesus exposed the devil’s lie and shone a spotlight on people’s sin. He then provided a means for their sins to be forgiven forever. Fourth, Jesus came to lift up those who are crushed by life. Jesus said, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10 NLT). He came to give us abundant life. Jesus came to show us that there is more to life than this. He came to give us hope. Fifth, Jesus came to give His life for us. Jesus said, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45 NLT). God is holy and just. He demands punishment for sin. That punishment is death. Only a perfect sacrifice offered in our place could save us from death. Jesus was that perfect sacrifice. He willingly took our punishment for sin. He allowed Himself to be killed so that we might live. Jesus Christ came to this earth to seek and save those of us who are lost, just as a shepherd seeks a lost sheep. Those who trust in Him will enjoy eternal life with Him. Reflection question: Which of these reasons for Jesus’ coming would resonate most powerfully with someone you know?

Does life ever feel to you like a heavy backpack that you just cannot set down? If you feel that way, if that's what life is to you, listen to this wonderful invitation from Jesus: “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Following Jesus looks like handing Him each burden, one by one, and learning His gentle way. Do you want that kind of rest? You can receive it now. Pray with me, “Jesus, I am exhausted. Thank You for carrying away my sin and my fear. I give it to You, happily, take the weight—my past, my worries, my plans. Teach me Your gentle way, and give my soul real rest.” Put Your trust in Jesus. He will meet you right where you are. Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Matthew 11:28 radio.hopewithgod.com

his week, we gather for a special message titled “The Best Rest,” based on Matthew 11:28–30, preached by Brother Dustin Snow. Jesus invites the weary, the burdened, and the worn down to come to Him—not for more pressure, but for rest. In a world that constantly demands more, Christ offers something radically different: a gentle Savior, a light yoke, and rest for our souls. He doesn't call us to strive harder, but to draw closer. He doesn't add to our burdens—He carries them. And in Him, we find the true rest our hearts are longing for. Come and hear the invitation of Jesus: “Come to Me… and you will find rest for your souls.”

This message invites you to rediscover the good news the way Jesus actually preached it—through the story of God's kingdom breaking into the world. Instead of presenting Christianity as ideas to know or a system to master, you can invite others into a story to live under God's reign arriving through Jesus. His loving rule that is restoring both relationship and purpose. Cameron unpacks why Jesus came and introduces a Kingdom tool that helps you walk others through the big story of Scripture in a clear and meaningful way.
Send us a text We've turned the simple invitation of Jesus—“Come, follow me”—into a crowded checklist of programs, expectations, and spiritual pressure. In this episode, we explore how Christianity got so complicated, why so many believers are exhausted, and how to return to the simple, beautiful center: living our actual lives with God, for the sake of others, in the way of Jesus.

Episode Notes What we know, is that we do not know on what day or at what hour our Lord will come. However,we know that He is coming. For that reason alone, we are to, STAY ... ALERT. In other words, we should expect the return of Jesus imminently, any second as it were so we are more focused on what is really important in this life for us, His children.

Episode Notes We have reason to believe from our last two studies on this topic that Jesus comes first, unseen, then, secondly, seen on the clouds with a host of heavenly bodies coming with Him that, as many think, He captured up to heaven before the Tribulation Period.

"Your life is not hopeless. Your life is not too dark. Your sins are not too great. Jesus came to encounter you today and forgive you of your sins." --Pastor Steve Dow The message "Come Jesus Come" draws its power from Revelation 22:17, the Bible's final invitation to humanity. Pastor Steve Dow passionately asserts that the call to "come" is an open invitation from the Spirit, the Church, and all who have heard the Gospel—with no prerequisites required. He reminds believers that their mission is to extend this invitation, while also urging them to be ready and watchful for Christ's return. At the heart of the message is the certain, living hope we have because Jesus was not just raised from the dead, but resurrected, guaranteeing an eternal future free from pain and sorrow for all who believe. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally
Episode Notes In Matthew twenty-four verse twenty-seven, Matthew only speaks of two navigational points and in Matthew twenty-four verse thirty-one he speaks of four points on a compass by commenting on the four winds. Also, after that phrase and a comma, we are told that those coming from heaven come from one end of heaven to the other. Please visit our Outreach Web site! ~ Home Page.

Episode Notes Just when it looks as though Christ is going to come again for His people, the end … is still … to come. That is because there are false-christ's misleading people, wars and rumors of wars, nations rising up against nation as well as kingdom against kingdom, with famines and earthquakes in various places are only the beginning.
