Returning: Returning to Rest

Sunday Gathering June 23, 2024Ryan Kenny (Matthew 11:28-30)Juggling work, friendships, and social commitments; The pressure to always be available and responsive to all; Worrying about finances, health, or relationships; Feeling uncertain about your goals or future; Comparison to others whether scrolling a feed or relating to a colleague. Would you say you are more rested or restless?While the busyness and/or stressors of your life may stay the same, what if you could live from a deeper place of rest? In spite of your current season, you could still be a person who others look to for inspiration, joy-filled, calm in your responses, peace in your direction, content in all things. It may feel counterintuitive, but Jesus invites us to a life of rest, and not just to hit more REM sleep at night, but to actually find it deep within our souls.
