Come to Me | August 31, 2025
In this special Labor Day message, we explore the true meaning of rest as offered by Jesus in Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The speaker reflects on the exhaustion and burdens we all carry—whether from work, expectations, or the weight of caring for others—and reminds us that real refreshment comes not from escaping or distracting ourselves, but from coming to Jesus. Key Takeaways: Labor Day is more than a holiday—it's a reminder to seek true rest for our souls. Jesus invites us to bring our weariness and burdens to Him, promising renewal and restoration. Rest in this context means being refreshed and renewed, not just taking a break or escaping. The message encourages listeners to prioritize spiritual rest over the holiday weekend and beyond. Memorable Quotes: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." "Rest doesn’t mean escape—it means renewal and restoration for your very soul." "Don’t chase other coping mechanisms; come to Jesus for the rest you’re really looking for." Call to Action: As you celebrate Labor Day, make time to rest in God’s presence and let Him refresh your soul. Carry this invitation with you into the week ahead. Closing Prayer: A heartfelt prayer for the community to experience God’s rest and love in a fresh way.
