This Week | August 30 – September 5, 2024
September 1 | Easing Your Burdens Through Freedom in Christ – Dr Jason Mateika
Synopsis: The Lord wants you to be free. This is why Jesus came for Galatians 5:1 says, “for freedom Christ has set us free.” This is also what Jesus invites to experience daily in our lives. He says in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all who labor and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” There are many stages that we go through on our journey of faith. Experiencing the freedom that the Lord gives in our lives is found in meeting with Jesus, overcoming strongholds through God’s power, and responding to Jesus. We are going to see how to ease all our burdens through Christ’s finished work.
Fighter Verse: Matthew 11:28-30 – “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Core Ministries – Weekly Update
We teach the children all the time that the Bible is God’s Word and that it’s 100% true! But still, so many of us prefer our own way and intentionally disregard what God’s Word says for us. This week, we’ll be focusing on pursuing a greater love of God, a greater hope in His Son, and a greater trust in His Spirit – which will move us towards greater obedience!
