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.

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Mt. 11:28
The Live recording of the 10 am Service at Steadfast Church in Carlsbad, California with Pastor Chris Fik, February 8, 2026.
This sermon was preached by Brandon Renfro on 2/8/2026. We are a confessional church based on the London Baptist Confessional 1689 whose ultimate authority is God's Word.

The sermon centers on the pervasive spiritual and emotional noise in the soul—rooted in sin, pride, fear, and unbelief—that disrupts peace, hinders spiritual growth, and damages physical and relational health. Drawing from Matthew 11:28–30, it calls believers to a radical shift: not through self-effort or worldly solutions, but by coming to Jesus in humility, surrendering to His yoke, and learning meekness and lowliness of heart. True rest is found not in fixing external circumstances, but in abiding in Christ, trusting His sovereignty, and allowing His peace to rule the heart, which in turn restores the body, transforms relationships, and enables faithful witness in a broken world.

The Live recording of the 10 am Service at Steadfast Church in Carlsbad, California with Pastor Chris Fik, February 1, 2026.
The sermon centers on the pervasive 'noise' in the human soul—rooted in unexamined thoughts, self-deception, and unrepentant beliefs—that obstructs peace and spiritual freedom. Drawing from Matthew 11:28 and Psalm 40, it emphasizes that true rest comes not through self-effort or emotional suppression, but through surrender to Christ, who invites the weary and burdened to find relief by bringing every thought into obedience to Him. The message identifies various forms of inner turmoil—fear, despair, bitterness, lust, greed, guilt, and shame—as symptoms of deeper spiritual disarray, all of which stem from personal choices and unconfessed sin rather than external circumstances. It calls for honest self-examination, repentance, and a radical reliance on God's Word and presence, warning that self-medication, whether through substances or denial, only masks the problem. Ultimately, the sermon proclaims that liberation comes not from fixing life on one's own, but from fixing the heart by looking to Christ, trusting His sovereignty, and allowing His peace to establish one's steps.
Matthew - The King has Come "Come Unto Jesus" (Matthew 11:25-30) In this episode of the McGregor Podcast, Ryan Flint explores Jesus' invitation to the weary and burdened found in Matthew 11:25-30.

God hides His truths from the wise but reveals them to the humble. Are you approaching God with childlike faith or intellectual pride? The religious experts of Jesus' day knew Scripture better than anyone, yet missed Him completely. Meanwhile, humble hearts received the kingdom. Which tree are you eating from - knowledge of good and evil, or the tree of life? Jesus offers rest for your weary soul, but it requires the humility to admit you need Him.
Are you eating from the tree of knowledge or the tree of life? There's a crucial difference between not knowing and not caring when it comes to spiritual transformation. Jesus condemned entire cities not for being imperfect, but for witnessing miracles and remaining unchanged. True repentance isn't just saying sorry - it's the key that unlocks the kingdom of heaven in your life. What fruit in your life needs to change?

Spiritual maturity isn't forced through religious rule following, it's grown through relational residency with Jesus.

This is the message from our service on 1/11/2026 with Chet Lowe.
Flowing right out of the same context of John the Baptist asking Jesus if he really was the one he had waited and hoped for, Jesus continued teaching. The last two verses of Matthew 11 are one of the anchor points that I look to in what Jesus invites us into if we follow him. This Sunday is for all who feel weary and weighed down by life, sin, wickedness, and darkness both in our world and in our own hearts. ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | Vimeo------------------------------------------- Download our AppApple App Store | Google Play Store
Every generation asks "Who is Jesus?" but eventually it becomes deeply personal. Even John the Baptist, one of the strongest believers, wrestled with doubt while imprisoned. Yet when he doubted, he didn't turn away from Jesus - he turned TO Jesus with his questions.Jesus didn't rebuke John for his doubts. Instead, He patiently pointed to the evidence: "The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dead are raised" (Matthew 11:5). These weren't random miracles - they were fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecies about the Messiah.If Jesus isn't our Savior, we'll inevitably look for someone or something else to save us. But when we truly believe Jesus is "the one," our future becomes secure no matter what circumstances we face.The question remains: Who do YOU say Jesus is?

Genesis 20-21; 19 Psalms 22-23; 40 Matthew 11
Psalm 19 is a magnificent example of Hebrew poetry; which speaks of the wonders of the Almighty's creative hand evident in the stars; and our sun in particular. Hayden's Creation Hymn draws thoughts from this Psalm - "the unwearied sun from day-to-day doth His Creator's power display ...". Surely when we gaze upon the night sky, as Abram was asked to do in Genesis 15, we are caused to wonder at the awesome power on display (Genesis 1 says he just scattered the stars from His hand). On day 4 the sun was appointed to rule the day - emblematic of the sun of righteousness (Malachi 4; Matthew 13verses43).Verse 3 tells us that the universal message is that there must be an Omnipotent Creator (Romans 1verses20); and they = Sun, moon and star - symbolically proclaim the gospel message (Romans10verses18). In the Psalm David says that the sun is like a strong man running a race; it is also like a bridegroom - the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3). The Psalm finishes by exhorting the reader to contemplate the sweetness and preciousness of God's Word; and its saving power.Psalm 20 continues the theme of trusting in Yahweh's saving strength. This might is in no horse; no battle weapon; no man. But it has been consistently and dependably exercised by God in the cause of delivering the faithful.
20 Proverbs 11-12; 03 Leviticus 23-26; 19 Psalms 94-100; 40 Matthew 11-13
Matthew - The King has Come "Doubting In The Dark" (Matthew 11:1-15) In this compelling New Year's sermon, Russell Howard explores how Jesus meets us in our doubts, pain, and unexpected life circumstances. Drawing from Matthew 11 and the example of John the Baptist, Russell Howard encourages listeners to bring their hardest questions to Jesus rather than relying on shallow answers. He challenges both believers and seekers to pursue honest faith, reminding us that truth can withstand scrutiny and that Jesus' work transforms lives. Tune in for a message of hope, perseverance, and the assurance that God is always working for His glory and our good—especially in uncertain times.

Chapter 11 starts a new section in this Gospel that will show us the ways that Jesus' ministry was questioned, doubted, and challenged. We expect that from some, but things take a surprising turn in our passage for Sunday as John the Baptist, Jesus' own cousin, had doubts about him. So, this week is for all who wrestle with doubt, whether you have been around church your whole life, are new to faith, or you're just exploring and asking questions. Is Jesus really HIM? Why should we trust Jesus? What about when God and God's work doesn't meet our expectations? ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | Vimeo------------------------------------------- Download our AppApple App Store | Google Play Store

Why do we doubt, and how do we deal with our doubt? This passage in Matthew can help us work through our feelings of doubt.
When John the Baptist heard in prison of the works of the Christ,he sent his disciples to Jesus with this question,"Are you the one who is to come,or should we look for another?"Jesus said to them in reply,"Go and tell John what you hear and see:the blind regain their sight,the lame walk,lepers are cleansed,the deaf hear,the dead are raised,and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me."As they were going off,Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John,"What did you go out to the desert to see?A reed swayed by the wind?Then what did you go out to see?Someone dressed in fine clothing?Those who wear fine clothing are in royal palaces.Then why did you go out? To see a prophet?Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.This is the one about whom it is written:Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you;he will prepare your way before you.Amen, I say to you,among those born of womenthere has been none greater than John the Baptist;yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."
What Happens When I Start to Doubt? | Christ For YouText: Matthew 11:2–11 | Third Sunday in Advent (Gaudete)What do you do when faith feels weak and God feels distant?What happens when prayers go unanswered and nothing in your life seems to change? Does doubt mean something is wrong with your faith—or is something else happening?From a prison cell, John the Baptist asks Jesus the unthinkable: “Are You the One, or should we look for another?” This sermon confronts the dangerous idea that real Christians never doubt and shows why even the strongest believers need to hear the Gospel again and again. Doubt is not cured by distance, memory, or willpower—it is answered by Christ's Word.When circumstances don't change, Jesus doesn't give explanations or fixes. He gives a promise. And that promise is enough.If even John the Baptist needed Christ preached into his doubt, what does that say about you?Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouWebsite: ZionWG.orgContact:PastorRojas@ZionWG.org

Even John the Baptist, the prophet who points his long, bony finger to Jesus, is left to question, "Are you the one who is to come?” Lars Olson teaches us that John, just like all of us, expects Jesus to make the world a better place according to our expectations. But that's what Advent is all about: the dawn of a new creation. A new kingdom found in the promise of Christ. CHALLENGE GRANTA Luther House of Study donor is sponsoring a challenge grant.

Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of Souls - AddictionSING TO THE LORD Martin Luther said, "Next to the word of God, the art of music is the greatest treasure in the world." To understand the importance of hymnody in the Lutheran church, Lars Olson and Mason Van Essen sit down with Zachary Brockhoff to discuss the lectionary's hymns, their meaning and history, and how the music preaches the Gospel.
