SERMON OUTLINE /

MATTHEW 11:28-30: SHARING THE BURDEN

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

// Matthew 11:28-30

The Process of Spiritual Formation

How are you?

□ “Weary and burdened” Whom do you follow?

□ “Come to me …”

□ “Gentle and humble”

What will you do?

□ Take the yoke (easy/light/simple) — Life with Jesus is shared.

□ Learn from him — Life with Jesus is learned (Manthano).

Examples?

□ Tired

□ Anxious Disciplines

□ Prayer

□ Sabbath

□ Secrecy and Confession

□ Impatient

□ Lonely

□ Solitude and Silence

□ Listening and Discernment

□ Simplicity and Fasting

□ Self-absorbed

□ Image-conscious

□ Study of God’s Word

□ Worship and Celebration

□ Service and Generosity
