# And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings' houses.But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.For this is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.And if ye will receive [it], this is Elias, which was for to come.He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.# But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
⸺Matthew 11:7-19

FEC “The Easy Yoke” – March 10, 2024

10.22.2023 Grow. Evanglism

9.8.2024 The Art Of Slowing. Matthew 11

This is the second sermon in our series The Unhurried Life. In this sermon, we consider why hurry is so dangerous, and we explore Jesus' surprising solution.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. What has been your experience with The Unhurried Life podcast? Is there an episode that has stayed with you?
2. Dallas Willard shared this advice, "Hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life in our day. You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.”
In what ways does a hurried pace combat so many aspects of the Christian life? 
3. What is something from the sermon that has stayed with you- either as encouraging, curious or confusing?
4. How does the idea of being Jesus’ apprentice seem different than being a disciple?  
5. Read Matthew 11:28-30. In your own words, how are rest and renewal a by-product to putting on Jesus’ yoke?
6. What is a part of Jesus’ yoke that you desire to put on this week?

The Unhurried Life- The Problem & The Surprising Solution

encouragement from Matthew 11 and Revelation 22

Come to me if  you're weary and burdened

Title: "Come Unto Me"
(Based on Matthew 11 and other scriptures: Classical Ballad)

Verse 1 - Lament of the Heavy Laden
"Who is not in labour? Who is not weighed down?
I see the backs that bend beneath the world’s cruel crown…
The sleepless nights, the rising cost,
The faith that’s lost—oh, where is God?"

Chorus - Christ’s Invitation
"Come unto Me… all ye weary, come!
Lay down the weight you carry—I will give you rest.
My yoke is easy, My burden light,
Oh, heavy soul, arise—walk in My sight."

Verse 2 - John’s Question / Prophetic Fulfillment
"Are You the One? Or do we wait?
The blind now see, the dead awake…
Yet they called John a devil’s pawn,
And mocked the Dawn—will you believe?"

Bridge - Judgment & Mercy
"Woe to the city that scorned His grace!
Yet wisdom’s children will see His face…
The Father hides truth from the proud,
But sings it loud to babes bowed down."

Final Chorus - Triumphant Resolve
"CAST YOUR CARE ON HIM—HE CARES FOR YOU!
Oh, soul, come home—His promise stands true!
Take His yoke, learn His heart,
For Heaven’s part… is you."

Outro - Whispered Reprise
"Come unto Me…"

From Detroit to the Black Forest, I've been trying to sing my way into the truth (as Jon Thurlow says) for a while now.  Hope you are encouraged by the musical journey.

Worship
God is seeking true worshippers who are not merely moved by emotions provoked by what they hear and see; the Father is Spirit and is looking for those who truly seek to understand the heart of worship through the Scriptures. The Holy Spirit is leading the Redeemed to a prophetic worship experience that is beyond our abilities to fabricate through the mortal agencies. By the grace of God, the Church is called into His majestic presence through the precious blood of the Lamb.
