What Makes Jesus' Yoke Light? (Matthew 11:1-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

Jesus' expectations are high (Matthew 5-7). So how can he say his yoke is a light burden? Jesus' yoke is not optional, and not secondary. You come to Jesus, in part, by taking on his yoke.

What makes Jesus' yoke light? (Matthew 11:1-30) We were doing family devotions the other night, and I was so proud of two of them, and found their insights so helpful, that I thought I'd sidetrack for a week and just make a record of this for myself.

The Danger Of Isolation And The Delight Of Fellowship

Contributed by Wayne Solomon on Mar 21, 2022

“Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” John made this statement partly because he was isolated. Isolation is one reason behind the increase in crime, domestic violence, suicide and mental health illnesses during COVID 19.

Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities. 2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent ...read more

Expectations & Evidence

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 16, 2023

Yeshua was saying, “Don’t be upset because I’m not what you expected. You’ve got my credentials. Now trust me for the rest of it.”

Nothing had changed. After Herod arrested John for publicly accusing him of incest and adultery, ...read more

It's A Wonderful Life Ii

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Dec 2, 2024

Showing John The Baptist The Gospel

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 14, 2024
