What it's like to be with God

Speaker: Jeff Wyler

In this sermon, we looked at what it's like to be with God. God values relationship, and in Matthew 11:25-30, we see the intimate connection between the Father and the Son. Jesus invites us to share in this relationship by showing us who the Father is. The call to enter this relationship is not through striving, good works, or perfection; we are simply invited to lay down our heavy burdens and rest. While the world would weigh us down, Jesus desires for us to take his yoke upon ourselves—a yoke which is easy and light. Jesus is gentle and lowly in heart, and He is kind to our souls. While following Him may not always feel light, we can securely rest in relationship with Him.
