AM Sermon

Sermon Notes: August 3rd Matthew 11:28-30 . Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . The yolk god has for us is actually easy. How can I discern between laziness and a healthy desire for rest? . Our American context places us between 2 states of being - grinding continually in hustle, and seeking escape from reality. Both of these two extremes come from our cultural context, and both of these come from the same place - extreme exhaustion. . Jesus’s call to discipleship is to urgent submission. No if’s, or’s, or but’s. So, we give God our YES! But, when we give God our yes, Jesus in response, gives us rest. . Who needs Jesus’ rest? All of us. In a narrow sense, Jesus gives us rest from trying to fulfill the Old Testament law. It IS exhausting. But you don’t have to be from the Jewish community to be called by Jesus when he says “all who are burdened.” The word “All” is important here. . Why do we need the rest? In 2014 - 44% of those in the work force feel burnt out. 51% feel used up. 81% of teens feel pressure about their plans/social standing/etc. This pressure comes from outside forces, true. But also from theirselves. These are staggering numbers, but they should not be shocking to us. We are taught, in our culture, we must push ourselves to reach our full potential. We’ve bought the lie, that we must place the unfair burden of performance on our children and ourselves. And yet… we are surprised when a rising plane crashes, when it only had fumes in the tank. . All of this is leaving us exhausted. We are trying to be everywhere for everybody, and we weren’t created with the capacity, and never intended to have the capacity to be that way. . The answer - in your exhaustion - is not to turn inward and escape reality. So, what do we do? We turn to Jesus, and follow him into rest. . When we try to become someone else’s rest, we will harm both of us. But Jesus can make that claim, and become the rest we need, because he IS God. . So why does God invite us to come to him? He invites us because He’s God, but also because, we are not. God is with us, in us, for us, but we are not Him. We were created with the weaknesses that we have. Weaknesses that the serpent exploited to cause the fall, actually! . When we refuse rest, when we refuse to accept the limitations, we were designed with, an already tired soul becomes a crushed soul. In an attempt to step out of our place, and become like God, we get out of step of simple obedience with God. Thanks be to God that we have the opportunity to have simple obedience! . He really loves us. God really loves us. And God really ‘likes’ us too. He doesn’t do all this out of requirement. God delights in his creation. And we shouldn’t view our God as one of necessity. We should delight in Him as well! But we should view Jesus’ invitation to get rest in Him, as one of delight. So how do we get that rest? “Take my yolk upon you.” - obeying His word, being discipled by Him, and rejecting everything else. And know that in our failures, we have Grace. . So why does it feel hard? Why does the yolk feel hard? It’s because we haven’t traded in the "other ones." In order to train our heart to say Yes to God, we have to train our heart to say no to the other gods. We cannot rest in Christ, when we are yolked to our performance, or the pace of our life, or finding significance, or just being focused on our phones, or prosperity, or validation. We cannot rest under the yolk of Jesus when we are trying to be perfect in everything else. . If the Yolk of Christ feels burdensome it’s because we’re still yolked to other little -g- gods, too.

Life too much sometimes? The answer is YES. Small things add up and before long they can drag your attitude, enthusiasm and patience down. It comes in all shapes and sizes and at all different times. Sometimes just out of the clear blue sky something can affect your daily life. We are all just one phone call, text, doctor’s appointment, intersection or conversation away from overload. And sometimes it can be just one word from a friend that puts us over the edge or triggers something inside of us. Then Boom. We explode. In 3 simple verses, Jesus is saying to us, when we have a hard row to hoe, Come to Me. He is saying, Try This.

"Jesus was never stressed or overwhelmed.  He noticed the broken, the hurting, the outcast and his unhurried pace meant he had time to stop and talk with them."  Pastor Tonya Janzen.  Let's be people who move at a pace like Jesus and are  able to be interrupted to stop, talk and help.

Some of us may be feeling that way today, like we are trying really hard to please God by doing things (coming to church and reading our bible and giving here and there) and we are about to beef up our efforts with our new year resolutions tonight, we are going to promise to read more, come to church more often, and we are trying and trying and it never seems enough because we always fall short. Jesus extends an invitation, which by the way it is still open, He invites people to come to Him. He turns none away, He says come.

Can you make it in this world if you are gentle? Won't you get walked all over? Is that a virtue worth aspiring to today? In this message, Pastor Scott Savage explores the history of our relationship with gentleness. For people who are not naturally gentle, he helps us see how God can bring gentleness to life in and through us.

If you had to describe God in one or two words, how would you describe Him? Could you say, without a doubt, what He is like? In this message, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches on Palm Sunday from Zechariah 9:9 and Matthew 11:28-30. The message is entitled "The Heart of the King" and Chris invites us to take Jesus at His own words and to experience His heart.

COVID-19 has hindered work for us. It's stopped all of our extra-curricular activities. It has "un-busied" us and that may not be such a bad thing. Pastor Chris Kipp continues the "40 Days" series with a teaching on sabbath rest from Exodus 20:8-11 and Matthew 11:28-30.
