Maybe It's Not Your Matress

Dear Orchard Grove Family,

No doubt. People are tired. Worried and upset.

Our culture is full of people who are craving some rest.

Commercials abound for better mattresses and sleeping pills.

And yet is seems we haven't totally put our finger on the problem. Something else is keeping us from real rest. Rest that begins on the inside.

Well I have some really great news. Jesus is offering something better than a new mattress. He promised us some "SOUL REST".

In His own words:
"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." Matt 11:28-29(NIV)

Wow, the Son of God who spent his first night on earth sleeping in a feeding trough and who confessed later in His adult life, "had no place to lay his head", must know something about true rest.

It is that life of rest and peace that we are going to be exploring this Sunday in our new series: REST!

I hope you will join us and maybe even invite someone you know with a tired soul to tag along.

In the hammock of His hand,

Chris


"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;
no one can snatch them out of my hand." ~Jesus
