Fr. Nissen's Sermon for Sunday, July 6

Matthew 11:28 -30"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

All of us know hardships and difficulties. With so many problems found in everyday living--not having enough money and medical problems (both physical and emotional)--we can become drained.

We can feel helpless. But there are two things to remember. The first is getting the help you need, be it counseling, medication, or financial advise. Secondly and more importantly, seek God in all things.

Jesus tells us, "Come to me all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest."

God gives us a rock and foundation that gives us hope. We can be confident that that there will be joy and peace after hardship and sorrow. There always is. The storms do not last forever.
