Rest for the Weary - Week 3 | Living Through Your Blessing in Christ

In this week's sermon, we will see ways to worship and praise God in the way we live. Including continuing to walk in the light of Jesus, living in his free gift, and reflecting the blessing we have in him to others. Some ways we can do these are by turning from sin and towards God, living in the way He created us (with our gifts and talents), and being wise with the way we use our words. 1 Peter 2:9-16, Gen 1:27, Psalm 139:14, Eph 2:8-10, Exodus 1,2(Words) Prov 15:4, Prov 16:24, Eph 4:29 Heb 10:19-25

Rest for the Weary - Week 2 | Controlling vs Surrendered

In today’s sermon, we will look at the causes and effects of trying to take control of the trials and situations in life that are beyond our control. This can be a disaster for us because when we take control, we miss out on the guidance and calling God has for us. A lack of trust in God shows that we believe we know what is best and when it is best to do it. God wants us to obey him, instead of offering sacrifices, by fully trusting in him and surrendering our lives to him, since he is good and wants what's best for us.

Rest for the Weary | Week 1 | Comparing vs Calling

Today, we will explore why comparing ourselves to others can be so damaging. Whether we look down on others or if we feel inferior. We will learn how to take these thoughts captive and let this burden go by focusing on the calling Jesus has for us and by defining ourselves through Him.
