Tired People Come to Me
I will be preaching on Matthew 11: 28-30 on July 9th. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” We could call this the “Declaration of Rest”.

Little did he know that this healing in Jesus' name would be so controversial later that day.

Pentecost 2023
Today is Memorial Day in the United States of America. This is the day we set aside to remember and pay our respects to all those who have given their lives protecting the people and freedoms of this great country. While you do this, take time to thank God for the thousands upon thousands of people who have given their lives, and still do, for the Gospel of Christ. They are the heroes of the church.
