Happy New Year!!!

Sunday School
Romans 12

• We are a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.
• Do not think anymore of yourself than you should.
• We are many members of one body.
• Love sincerely.
• Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
• Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
• If your enemy is hungry, feed him.
• Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Sermon
Matthew 11:28-30  v28 - "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. v29 - Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  v30 - For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Subject:  Finding Rest When You're Stressed

• Are you overwhelmed, discouraged, carry a heavy load or worried?
• God offers rest to us.
• Some stress can be healthy, causing positive actions.
• Too much stress, however, causes anxiety or even health issues.
• We should find spiritual rest.
• Jesus says, "I will give you rest."

Threes Ways to Rest

1. Jesus says come to Him - all who are weary, wounded or heavy laden & He will give you rest.
2. Walk with Christ - take My yoke upon you.  A yoke is a harness but in this case, it is a teachable method of learning about Christ.
3. Learn from Christ - Christ is an easy teacher.  Be you transformed......all things are made new.  Christ wants us to have full knowledge of Him.
