Podcasts about Yoke

What did the yoke represent?

Robert Breaker preached at the Bible Believer's Camp Meeting in Sweetwater, Tennessee on September 2-4th, of 2025.

This week Marc led us in communion and then shared from Matthew 11:28–30 about how Jesus calls us to himself to lay down our burdens while finding rest and peace in learning his burdens and his ways. Marc discussed how Jesus' yoke is easy, how his training is not overwhelming, but leads us gently into the way of peace and rest.

Matthew 11:28–30 with Joshua LewisLife can feel unbearably heavy—burdens, fears, relationships, striving. But Jesus invites us to take His yoke, a way of life that brings true freedom and rest. His yoke is lighter than every other attachment, and He carries the weight we cannot bear. In Him, and in His people, we discover the beauty of belonging and the gift of unity.

Date: September 21st, 2025 Scripture: Philippians 4 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

09/16/2025: Receiving His yoke and being under His burden: Don Pritchard

“I really appreciate FEBC because through it the Gospel can be heard by all people,” an amazing comment from a listener from Indonesia. In this episode we're going to get a report on the expanded footprint of FEBC reaching the largest Muslim country in the world through radio and social media. Ed had an opportunity to sit down with FEBC Indonesia's CEO, Yoke Probatti. In this conversation Yoke shares the creative ways his team has overcome obstacles and fearlessly proclaimed the Gospel to Muslim areas. Our hope is you will be stirred to pray for the Lord's protection and power as broadcasters teach and care for the needs of their people…Until All Have Heard.

Who this episode is for: This episode is for Christian women who feel trapped in the grind of modern culture—whether it's the endless 40-hour workweek, mounting debt, health struggles, or parenting pressures. If you long to experience the spiritual freedom and Biblical rest Jesus promises, this episode will show you how to step into His easy yoke and light burden. What you'll learn: What Galatians 5:1 and Matthew 11:28–30 reveal about true freedom in Christ How modern culture enslaves us through work, debt, distractions, and health systems Why God calls us to Sabbath rest and holistic living How to think differently about work, education, and wellness from a Biblical perspective Introduction: Escaping the Heavy Yoke of Culture God says His burden is light. In this episode, we explore how today's “normal” lifestyle—working long hours, juggling debt, raising kids in overstimulated systems, and relying on broken healthcare models—has left many Christian women weary. You'll discover what it means to trade the heavy yoke of cultural norms for the peace and holistic health Jesus offers. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – Scripture Foundation Galatians 5:1 and Matthew 11:28–30 set the stage for understanding freedom in Christ. 01:01 – What Is a Yoke? Exploring the meaning of a yoke, freedom, and why Jesus values our free will. 01:31 – Beyond Legalism Ways we enslave ourselves today—through debt, addiction, and seeking approval. 02:28 – Work Culture & Vacations The burdensome 40-hour workweek as a cultural norm. 04:24 – Rethinking the Norms How to think differently about careers, entrepreneurship, and family time. 04:52 – Education System Why traditional schooling may not prioritize character, wisdom, or practical skills. 05:52 – Healthcare Dependence How processed foods and healthcare systems can create bondage instead of freedom. 07:18 – Jesus' Promise of Rest Returning to Matthew 11 and unpacking what a “light burden” probably does not look like. 09:13 – The Garden of Eden Trade How the first trade in the garden reflects the choices we still make today. 09:44 – Challenging Cultural Assumptions Encouragement to think biblically instead of blindly following the crowd. 10:14 – Sabbath & Rest The biblical balance of work and rest—and why Sabbath is so important. Bible Verses About Freedom in Christ Galatians 5:1 — “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Matthew 11:28–30 — “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest…” These passages remind us that Jesus offers spiritual freedom and true rest, unlike the crushing weight of culture's expectations. What Is a Yoke in the Bible? Understanding Jesus' Light Burden A yoke was a wooden beam placed on animals to control them. Spiritually, it represents burden and control. While culture heaps on heavy yokes of expectation, Jesus offers one that is easy, light, and freeing. Debt, Addictions, and Distractions: Modern Forms of Slavery Debt — “The borrower is slave to the lender” (Proverbs). Debt keeps us tied to jobs we dislike. Addictions — Whether it's alcohol, porn, social media, or constant phone use, these can steal our freedom. Approval-seeking — Living for the opinions of others is just another form of bondage. The 40-Hour Workweek vs. Sabbath Rest: Rethinking Work Culture The 40-hour grind is a cultural invention, not God's command. Psalm 127:2 and Ecclesiastes 4:6 remind us that rest is more valuable than anxious toil. Sabbath rest is God's design—restoration, family time, and worship. Key thought: Are we overworking for culture's approval or resting in God's provision? Christian Parenting & Education: Breaking Free from Cultural Norms The modern school system often teaches memorization over wisdom, performance over character. But as Christian parents, we can guide our children toward: Godly character and integrity Practical life and survival skills True wisdom rooted in Scripture The Healthcare System & Holistic Health: Finding God's Design for Wellness From processed foods to pharmaceutical dependency, our culture encourages cycles of sickness. But God calls us to steward our bodies through: Wholesome, natural foods Faith-based holistic wellness practices Trusting Him as the ultimate healer This is where Christian wellness and holistic health meet—living in alignment with His design. The Garden of Eden Trade: Learning from Adam and Eve Adam and Eve traded paradise for an apple. Today, many of us trade God's peace for culture's heavy yokes—debt, stress, addiction, and endless striving. Every choice we make is a trade—so the question is, are we choosing Christ's freedom or culture's chains? Key Takeaways: Living in True Freedom with Christ Jesus' yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Debt, addictions, and overwork are forms of slavery. Sabbath rest is one of the Ten Commandments for a reason. Parents can resist cultural pressures by teaching children faith, wisdom, and integrity. Holistic health aligns our bodies and spirits with God's design. Call to Action: Faith-Based Steps to Reclaim Your Health & Peace

Mens Discipleship Class

Performance-oriented religion will leave us feeling weary and burdened, but Jesus has a different path for us! Breakthrough belongs to Him and salvation through Him, so when we feel weary or burdened Jesus wants us to come to Him with all of it. He doesn't just give a motivational speech, merely reprimand us, or simply tolerate us. He, "...will give you rest" ... "rest for your soul..." (Matt 11:28-29) Is there still meaningful work for us to do in this life? Absolutely, and the 'yoke' of Jesus fits us well. His burden for us is light. Does this mean our work and our prayers are somehow 'lightweight?' No way. In Christ, our prayers are powerful, not puny.

The Lamentations of Jeremiah is not a book we “enjoy” reading.  But do we only read those things that give a positive message and we find encouraging?  Actually there are some gems hidden among this prophet's words of despair and distress.  The first 2 chapters are about how God's anger with Jerusalem finally overflows into action; his mercy toward the people of His Holy City finally comes to an end, his judgments are poured out.  Is our world today going to be a parallel to this?  His word is available in all languages – yet is largely ignored – or scoffed at?The emphasis in just about everything the churches say is that we serve a God of love, that this is the total focus of God's character. There is little or no thought that his anger could be poured out today on an increasingly godless world.  But twice it happened to God's holy city – Jerusalem; they were terrifying times.In today's chapter 3, Jeremiah suddenly expresses his own feelings, his own experience of overwhelming personal despair, “though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer” (v.8)  That reminds us of the final words of Jesus on the cross, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”Yet in his Lamentations, as with David's Psalms, what begins with despairing thoughts, gets replaced by more positive ones. See how Jeremiah lifts his mind to a higher plain, “but this I call to mind and therefore I have hope” (v.21).  Then come the words that have been made into a much loved hymn about the mercies of God “they are new every morning: great is your faithfulness” (v.23)  Next he writes, The LORD is good to those who wait for him … who seek him” (v.25)  Will the Lord have reason to be good to you?In conclusion, take special note of v. 27 … it is good for us to bear the yoke in our youth!   Bearing the yoke?  If when we are young our lives are easy, there are no problems, no challenges, nothing to make us anxious; it will be hard to develop a good character; worse still, we will have little inclination toward being yoked to Jesus Christ and to carry his cross (meditate on John 15 v.18-19). It may be the lot of those who are truly yoked to Christ to follow in the footsteps of Jeremiah to some degree.

Yoke!

Submit to the Yoke of Jesus Christ Is it possible that what we perceive as bondage is actually obedience in the eyes of God? Servant Marcia Carty delves into this powerful question, urging listeners to consider where their faith truly lies. Using the prophetic words of Jeremiah, she examines the story of the Israelites who, due to their idolatry and disobedience, were forced into submission under King Nebuchadnezzar. While this seemed like a curse, God called Nebuchadnezzar His "servant," revealing that in the midst of this trial lay the path to salvation and blessing. In this message, you'll learn: -- The importance of discerning between God's prophets and those who speak only what people want to hear. -- How the hardness of heart and violence in our world today are a sign that we are living in a time similar to the days of Noah. -- Why the blessings of God are often found in the places of submission and obedience that we naturally want to avoid. -- The divine purpose behind being subject to governing authorities, even when we don't agree with them. -- That putting on the "armor of light" is an act of submission to the will of God, and it is our best defense against the darkness in the world.

Bible Study: Exodus 3:13-20 What is the importance of the name of God? The answer is surprising. Matthew 11:28-30 Was this a funny sang? Break 1 Letters: Can the devil tempt us through our dreams? How do you reconcile the new and the old Mass? If you donate your body to science can you still have a funeral Mass? Father answers these and other questions, send him a letter at simon@relevantradio.com Break 2 Word of the Day Burden Phones: Aaron - What is the reason behind we don’t do the Latin Mass anymore? Very respectfully and genuinely asking. Once I heard it was for uniformity, and keeping the same language, but it seems know with Mass being said in different languages, there is no uniformity. I am confused and would like some clarity. Glen Marie - Conference in New Jersey on Exorcism, does the blessing they gave us also apply to the articles online? Jarod - Council of Jerusalem, abstain from unlawful marriage, and abstain from blood. Do Christians still need to abstain blood and blood sausages?

Read Online“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” Matthew 11:29–30For those first followers of Jesus, a “yoke” was a familiar term. Many would have worked with oxen and other animals on a regular basis to plow their fields. To do so, they would place a wooden yoke over the oxen, which was a form of harness that was also attached to the plow, making it easier for the oxen to till the soil. To be strapped with a yoke was an indication of servitude, since that was the role of the oxen.In commenting upon this passage, Saint Augustine (in Sermon 126) analogized the yoke of Christ with the wings of a bird. A bird's wings are large in comparison to its body. As a result, if someone were to conclude that removing the wings from a bird would make its life easier by ridding it of that excess weight, such an action would have the effect of keeping it bound to the earth. But give its wings back and that “yoke” will enable it to soar through the skies.So it is with the yoke of our Lord. If we accept the invitation to be a servant of God and we take upon ourselves the yoke of Christ for the fulfillment of our mission of service, we will discover that the act of serving lightens us, refreshes us, invigorates us and energizes us. Service of God is what we are made for, just as a bird is made to have wings. And like the bird, if we remove the yoke of service of God from our lives, then we are weighed down and cannot accomplish the good we are meant to do.We are also told in this passage that we are not to carry our yoke; rather, we are meant to carry Christ's yoke. “Take my yoke upon you…,” Jesus said. Carrying Jesus' yoke means we are called to live our lives with Him and in Him. He came to serve and to give His life for others. It is our duty to do the same by allowing Him to do so within us. It is Christ and His servitude that must be the motivation and foundation of our lives. Reflect, today, upon your call to be a servant in Christ. How is God calling you to serve? Whom is God calling you to serve? And as you answer that question, how do you see your act of service? Does service seem burdensome to you? Or do you understand that it is what you are made for? If you do see humble service as a burden, then perhaps that is because you have not actually tried to serve with and in Christ Himself. Try to ponder Jesus placing His yoke upon your shoulders. Say “Yes” to that act and to the mission of humble service you are called to fulfill. Doing so wholeheartedly will not only refresh you, it will also give meaning and purpose to your life. My gentle Lord, You came to us to serve and to give Your life out of love. Give me the grace I need to accept Your act of service to me and to also imitate and participate in the service to which I am called. May I take Your yoke upon me, dear Lord, so that I can fulfill the mission that You have entrusted to me.
