An Extraordinary Invitation from Jesus

Why do so many people seem chronically restless and hopeless? Does the Christian gospel address these deepest longings of the human soul? What is the disposition of the heart of Jesus towards us during those times? What does Jesus promise to give to all who are weary and burdened, when they respond to His extraordinary invitation?

Join Pastor Jim as he unpacks the answers to these and other questions that flow from Matthew 11:16-30! (42:11)

(17:44) Call to Worship: Steady Dependence
(Source: John Wesley - edited)

Compose our spirits to a quiet and steady dependence
on Your good providence, that we may not be anxious for anything,
but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
still make known our requests to You, our God.

Help us to pray always and not faint;
in everything to give thanks, and offer up the sacrifice of praise continually;
to rejoice in hope of Your glory; to possess our souls in patience;
and to learn in whatsoever state we are, there to be content.

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen!


(40:15) Creed: Jesus, the Son of God
(Source: Heidelberg Catechism, Questions 29 & 31 )

Leader: Why is the Son of God called "Jesus," meaning "savior?"
People: Because He saves us from our sins, and because salvation is not to be sought or found in anyone else.

Leader: Why is He called "Christ," meaning "anointed?"
People: Because He has been ordained by God the Father and has been anointed with the Holy Spirit to be our chief prophet and teacher who fully reveals to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our deliverance; our only high priest who has delivered us by the one sacrifice of His body, and who continually intercedes for us before the Father; and our eternal king who governs us by His Word and Spirit, and who guards us and keeps us in the deliverance He has won for us.
