Podcasts about Matthew 11

Coming to Jesus means repenting and resting.Every human being is weary. We carry burdens we were never meant to bear: the weight of performance, the exhaustion of trying to prove ourselves, the endless striving for approval. In this sermon, we explore how Jesus offers rest to the weary — but receiving that rest requires repenting of our pride and trusting in him alone.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningMatthew 11:28 — Jesus, Quiet My Mind This Morning and Lift the Weight I Carry Into the Day Ahead Recorded Live from London, England — with Reverend Ben Cooper Matthew 11:28 (NIV) — “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Mateus 11:28 — “Venham a Mim, todos os que estão cansados e sobrecarregados, e Eu lhes darei descanso.” Isaiah 26:3 (NIV) — “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast.” Isaías 26:3 — “Tu guardarás em perfeita paz aquele cuja mente está firme em Ti.” descanso profundo • calma mental • paz que governa — deep rest, mental calm, ruling peace descanso profundo • calma mental • paz que governa — deep rest, calm mind, governing peace As the morning settles across London and across every home listening worldwide, Jesus speaks the most tender words a weary heart can hear: “Come to Me.” This is not a command to perform but an invitation to release. Morning voices often rush in — responsibility, pressure, fear, the noise of yesterday reaching into today — but in this hour, the voice of Jesus is stronger, calmer, nearer. Lord, You know the burdens carried into this day — the worries that rise early, the expectations that feel heavy, the tasks waiting ahead. You call us not to hide the weight but to bring it to You. You promise rest — descanso profundo — where anxiety loses its grip and peace begins to lead the mind. Align our thoughts with Your truth. Hold our thinking steady when it tries to scatter. Let Isaiah 26:3 become real inside us: a perfect peace that governs the inner world even when the outer world feels demanding. Quiet the storms within. Slow the racing thoughts. Heal the tired places. Speak peace over responsibilities, relationships, work, and unseen struggles. Jesus, I come to You now — Eu venho a Ti, Jesus. Entrego este peso. Peço Tua paz perfeita. (Jesus, I come to You. I lay down this weight. I ask for Your perfect peace.) Let this morning become a refuge. Let Your rest settle on the heart. Let Your peace take the lead. And let the weight carried into this day be lifted by the One who never grows weary.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningMatthew 11:28 — Jesus, Lift the Weight From My Spirit Tonight and Give My Soul the Deep Rest It Has Needed All Day Live from Salvador, Brazil • Faro, Portugal • Luanda, Angola • Chimoio, Mozambique • Miami, USA • London, England descanso profundo • alma leve • rendição emocional deep rest • lightened soul • emotional surrender Matthew 11:28 (NIV): “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Psalm 62:1 (NIV): “Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.” Jesus, as night begins to settle over Salvador, Luanda, Miami, London, Chimoio, and across Brazil, Latin America, Europe, and the world, we come bringing every burden that aches within the spirit. Tonight we ask for descanso profundo—deep, holy rest that reaches into the hidden places of the heart. Where the day has left its marks, bring cura suave. Where the mind is tired, bring alma leve. Where emotions feel tangled, bring rendição emocional, the surrender that frees the soul. Jesus, eu venho a Ti. Jesús, vengo a Ti. Jesus, I come to You. In every language, in every nation, the call is the same: “Give my soul rest.” Let Your voice quiet the inner noise that tries to rise as evening settles. Let Your gentleness replace the weight of the day. Let Your nearness slow the breathing of the weary heart. Draw, tonight, on the entire arc of Your promises—the hope of the madrugada, the renewal of dawn, the clarity of the morning hours, the strength of midday, the reassurance of the evening. Let every prayer we have carried from Cycle 1 to Cycle 16 rise again here: Psalm 91 protection, Isaiah 41 courage, Romans 8 assurance, Psalm 121 help, Isaiah 43 presence, Psalm 23 rest, Psalm 130 waiting, and Romans 15 hope. Let the full back library breathe into this moment. Jesus, bring rest where worry still lingers. Bring calm where fear still whispers. Bring peace where exhaustion remains. Remind every listener that You hold the evening, You hold the night, and You hold the heart. Give us rest, Senhor. Give us rest, Señor. Give us rest, Lord.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningMatthew 11:28 — Jesus, Draw Me Into Your Rest Tonight and Lift the Weariness That Still Lives in My Spirit Live from Salvador • Faro • Luanda • Chimoio • Miami descanso profundo • alma leve • entrega emocional • deep rest • lightened soul • emotional surrender Matthew 11:28 (NIV): “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Psalm 62:1 (NIV): “Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.” Jesus, as evening settles and the intensity of the day begins to soften, I acknowledge the weight I still carry inside. Some pressures fade with daylight, but some linger quietly beneath the surface. Tonight, You invite me—not to perform, not to produce, not to pretend—but simply to come. Descanso profundo. Alma leve. Your rest is not a distant idea; it is a present reality, offered directly to those who feel worn, stretched, tired, or overwhelmed. And so I come to You, with honesty, with heaviness, with longing. Jesus, lift what my strength can no longer hold. Release me from the emotional residue of the day. Quiet the internal dialogues that replay the unresolved. Let my soul settle into the truth that real rest is found in You, not in circumstances, achievement, or performance. Entrega emocional. Emotional surrender. Tonight, I lay down fears, fatigue, and frustrations. I choose to let Your presence become the place where my mind unclenches and my heart slowly breathes again. I pray now for every listener entering this 8PM hour across Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Cabo Verde, Mozambique, the Americas, and Europe. For the ones who pushed through a difficult day. For those carrying hidden worries. For those whose spirits feel faint or whose minds feel tight. Let Your invitation become more than words—let it become an experience. Let rest descend gently. Let burdens become lighter. Let weary souls rediscover the softness of Your peace. Jesus, teach me to surrender without fear. Teach me to rest without guilt. Teach me to recognise that You never asked me to carry what only Your grace was designed to hold. As the evening deepens, let my heart lean into Your steadiness. Let my mind settle in Your strength. Let my spirit find rest in Your salvation. In this sacred pause before the night expands, draw me into a rest that restores me from within.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningMatthew 11:28 — Jesus, Draw Me Into Your Rest Tonight and Lift the Weariness That Still Lives in My Spirit Live from London, England Salvador • Faro • Luanda • Chimoio • Miami Themes: descanso profundo • alma leve • entrega emocional deep rest • lightened soul • emotional surrender Psalm 62:1 (NIV): “Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.” Matthew 11:28 (NIV): “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Jesus, in this quiet 8PM hour when the day begins to release its final breath, we turn our hearts toward Your presence. The pace has slowed, the noise has softened, yet inside many carry a hidden weariness. But You invite us to come — not performing, not striving, simply arriving as we are. You offer descanso profundo, the deep rest that reaches into the places no one else sees. For every listener from Salvador to Faro, from Luanda to Chimoio, and across the world tonight, let alma leve settle over them — a lightening of the soul after a long day. Lift the tension held in the shoulders, the heaviness carried in the chest, the thoughts that refuse to quiet themselves. Let Your rest steady the mind and loosen the emotional weight that has gathered hour after hour. Your Word says our souls find rest in God alone, and tonight we yield to that truth. Where exhaustion runs deep, breathe strength. Where confusion lingers, bring clarity. Where disappointment has settled, place renewed hope. And where emotions feel tangled, bring entrega emocional — the grace to release what we cannot carry and place it fully in Your hands. Jesus, draw me closer than the worries that try to linger. Pull me into the quiet of Your presence. Let Your rest settle over my spirit, covering every strained place, every tired thought, every burden I have tried to hold alone.

Next to Last Category of Spiritual Practices in Adele Calhoun's acronym WORSHIP. The practices here call us to "incarnate" or demonstrate Christ's love to the world around us. This message taking its cue from Dane Ortlund's book "Gentle and Lowly" specifically looks at how Jesus is "gentle and lowly in heart" (Mt. 11:29) What might it look like for us to demonstrate gentleness and lowliness, compassion and humility?

This is the message from our Sunday morning service on 2/18/2026 with Pastor Bill Buffington.

Jesus both subverts and fulfills our expectations.To be human is to have expectations about how we hope life to go. Even John the Baptist, the forerunner of the Messiah, has expectations about who Jesus is and what he should do. In this sermon, we explore how Jesus both subverts and fulfills our expectations, and why that is good news.

20 Proverbs 23-24; 2 Chronicles 26-31; 19 Psalms 55-58; 40 Matthew 11-13

Today’s Bible Verse: “When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to ask him, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’” — Matthew 11:2–3 Matthew 11:2–3 gives us an honest picture of faith under pressure. John the Baptist, who boldly proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah, now sits in prison and asks a raw question: Are You really the One? His circumstances didn’t match his expectations, and doubt crept in. “Want to listen without ads?

20 Proverbs 19-20; 1 Kings 8-11; 19 Psalms 112-118; 40 Matthew 11-13

Matthew 11:25-3025 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

This week Pastor Harald Bjerga talks about living out His lifestyle - His Rhythm and practices of life for His purposes. "DON'T YANK AGAINST THE YOKE." Walk with Jesus and He'll carry the weight.

This week, Pastor Zach Pinkerton leads in our discussion of Chapter 11 of the Book of Matthew. We learn, like John the Baptist, that our expectations for God's salvation in our life does not always match the reality of God's plans for us.

This week, Pastor Kevin Pinkerton keeps working through the book of Matthew as he covers chapter 11 and gives us some practical information. He starts by discussing how we should look to Jesus when our expectations are shaken, judgement will follow when we resist revelation, and how rest is found when we come to Jesus humbly. Tune in to check it out!

What do we do with our doubts as Christians? Are we even allowed to doubt Jesus and the gospel? What do we do when a pastor, mentor, or leader struggles to live out their faith? Join us in Matthew 11:2-15 as we learn what to do with doubt through Jesus' interaction with the doubt of John the Baptist.

What if Shabbat isn't just “not working”?  What if it's about healing and wholeness?  Learning to stop striving, because you're not a solo ox--there's a stronger ox connected to you! In Matthew 11–12, Yeshua doesn't just teach about rest--he is that rest, and challenges how the religious leaders understood it. “Come to me, all who are weary and broken, and you will find rest for your souls.” Check out our latest sermon from Rabbi David along with some glimpses of the real-time survey from our community about Shabbat!

"Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" - Mt. 11:29a

Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | Matthew 11 records three different doubts to Jesus' works and words: i.e., doubts that come from emotion, disposition, and volition. These same doubts persist even to today, carrying the same reasons and responses that people struggle in matters of life and faith. To some, Jesus comforts. To some, Jesus confronts. To others, Jesus condemns.
