LECTIONARY PLUS:
Watch & Reflect - Let Jesus Lift the Burdens.
What do we do with the things that weigh us down—our demons, our conflicts, our worries? This week’s message invites us to bring them to Jesus, and ask Him to lift them from our hearts and shoulders.
Take a moment to watch this week’s video message from Pastor Lillejord and Pastor Rick Bliese, as they reflect on this Sunday’s Scripture lessons. Their insights offer a thoughtful and spiritual way to prepare your heart and mind for worship.
Let the Word speak to you in a fresh way—and join us as we come together in faith this Sunday.
