 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant, Mt. Pleasant & Shiloh

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Matthew 11:28 - Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Subject: How to Handle Our Burdens

• God can bring us to our knees which allows us to be humble. Being humble makes us more attuned to God's word.
• Trials & tribulations are going to come our way.
• When trouble comes our way, we start to worry.
• Philippians 4:6 - Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
• John 14:1 - Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
• Then we call on so-called friends.
• Then we try to run away from our problems.
• And finally, we may lash out, blame others.
• We need to transfer our burdens to Jesus. Jesus is the answer.
• Take our burdens to the Lord and leave them there.
• Jesus is the Good Shepard.
• Psalms 23 - 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

• 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

  3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

  4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

  5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anoints my head with oil; my cup runs over.

  6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

• Our Lord and Savior can work in our lives if we allow Him to.

• Ephesians 3:20 - Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.  

• Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
