Theme: Weight

Every where we look, we see tired people
1. They are burdened by life
2. They try to ease their burdens the wrong ways:
  1. Drugs
  2. Alcohol
  3. Gambling
  4. Sex
  5. Bad relationships
Ways we misunderstand this
1. We don't have to do anything
2. God won't put more on us than we can bear
3. That we work for God but not with Him
What it means
1. There is effort to following Christ
2. There is Never Solo Effort
What we should do
1. Our weariness shows that we are not working with Christ
  1. Typically by attempting to bear burdens He hasn't given us
  2. By not following His commands
2. Come to Him, let Him give us rest
3. Carry what He expects, and nothing else
Being yoked with Christ allows us:
1. Rest
2. Guidance
3. Meaningful work

I didn't preach my outline for Sunday night---changed sermons and scribbled notes between 6 and 6:30, so there's audio but no outline.

Thanks for taking the time to read! Doug Hibbard
