About this episode

Kevin Weatherby discusses the importance of the phrase 'Come to me' from Matthew 11:28 in the context of spiritual burdens.

You can get worn smooth out. Tired down to the rivets. And the first three words out of Jesus' mouth in Matthew 11 are the ones most folks skip right past on the way to the famous part: "Come to me." This week Kevin opens a brand new series, Come to Me (Week 1 of 3), and rides straight into the loads we keep packing on our own backs, loads God always meant to carry. In this message: Why the first three words of Matthew 11:28 matter more than the rest of the verse The burdens we keep hauling that were never ours to carry What "come to me" actually means when you are worn out A lake, a dog named Bane, and a Sunday night that ran long Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Grab this week's free 5-day Bible study at savethecowboy.org .
