Summary
As we continue our week on simple Christianity, we have the joy today of discovering what it means to truly rest in God. In all the stress and hurry of life, don’t we all need to find even just a few moments of rest today? May God reorient the way you see him today, and show you his purpose and pleasure over his children taking time for true rest in him.
Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 11:28-30, and today's worship is I Just Really Love You by Red Rocks Worship.
