Sermons on Matthew (Page 9)
Jesus’ Call to Sabbath
Matt’s message is rooted in Matthew 11.28-30 and invites reflection on Jesus’ relationship to Sabbath. This is the third week in a three-part series on Summer Sabbath. Jesus invites his followers, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” What might it look like for us to find rest in Christ?

Unfinished
We had technical difficulties with this recording. Apologies for the quality of the sound, but we’re hopeful we’ll have the issue fixed for next Sunday. Thanks for your patience. Linda’s message is rooted in the story of the magi in Matthew 2.1-12 & Leonardo DaVinci’s Adoration of the Magi. What are our hopes for 2014? What unfinished parts of ourselves might God invite us to celebrate? What unfinished parts of ourselves might need attention in the coming year?
