This sermon invites weary and burdened people to bring their struggles to Jesus, grounding that call in Matthew 11, where Jesus offers rest not by removing burdens, but by teaching a gentler, life-giving way to carry them. It emphasizes that Jesus’ “yoke” fits us well, relieves the crushing weight of shame, fear, and responsibility, and reminds us that we are yoked to Christ himself, who carries the heaviest load and frees us from trying to save the world on our own. In the midst of division, violence, and exhaustion in the city of MPLS, this sermon calls the church to trust Jesus, keep showing up for neighbors with compassion, and walk forward with hope, love, and rest rather than guilt, fear, or despair.
