Still Learning!

The moment you think you’ve “arrived” is the moment growth stops. In this message on Matthew 11:25-30 and 1 John 2:22-23, we’re reminded that the most accomplished people are often the ones who stay teachable. God isn’t looking for people who know everything. He’s looking for people who still ask “WHY?” like little children. Here’s what we unpack: Keep Your Wonder – Matt 11:25. Jesus prayed and thanked the Father that the Kingdom is hidden from the “wise and intelligent” and revealed to little children. The tragedy isn’t losing intelligence with age. It’s losing wonder. Jesus prayed at least 34 distinct times Heb 5:7 — He modeled a life of dependence. Learn From Me – Matt 11:29. Jesus didn’t just teach, He demonstrated. John 1:1, 14 shows us the Word became flesh. The 7 Miracles prove His power: Water to wine, healing the official’s son, Bethesda, feeding 5,000, walking on water, healing the blind man, raising Lazarus. The 7 “I AM” statements reveal His identity: Bread of Life, Light of the World, Door, Good Shepherd, Resurrection & Life, Way/Truth/Life, True Vine. We’re still learning who He is. Knowledge vs. Teachability – 1 John 2:22-23, Rom 8:5-6. You can have remarkable knowledge and still be closed to the Spirit. Another can have little status but a heart that’s open and responsive. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. The Invitation – Matt 11:28-30, Isa 53:5-8. “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me.” His yoke is easy and His burden is light. The cross shows us what learning from Jesus really looks like: humility, sacrifice, surrender. Bottom Line: Be a constant student. At 70 or 17, we’re all still learning. Still learning His miracles. Still learning His “I AMs.” Still learning His heart. Zech 9:9, Matt 21:1-10 — He’s the humble King, and He’s calling you to come. If you’re tired of performing, striving, or pretending you have it all figured out... this sermon is for you. Come learn from Jesus. 🎙️
