Come to Me

Our Favorite Things is the title of our summer series. The Elders and staff have selected a favorite passage of scripture and sermons are based on each of those passages. Today's message is from Matthew 11:28-30, the favorite passage of Genesis Kids Director Missy Raley. Everybody loves an invitation, especially to a fun party or fabulous event. On the other hand, it can be a real bummer to be left off an invitation list. In one brief declaration, Jesus gives the greatest invitation that has ever been offered. The invitation is a summons where weary, worn out people can find rest and joy. So who can come to this party? The one major requirement to be included on the guest list is the realization that you do not belong there. Jesus has offered an invitation to all of us, and at the heart, this invitation is the greatest news we can ever get.
