This week's sermon from JPCC,
because I cannot figure out the main point of the sermon, so I asked Debby alias hamster to write the summary. Good job sis !!! your english is better than mine... So keep writing.... !!!!

“BURNED OUT”

Nowadays, many people feel stressed out because of their overloaded job. The other aspect that can make people stressed out is their willing to achieve their target in their work. 90% of them don't realize that they have already burned out until they cannot handle their jobs anymore. Many of them try to get away from this 'burned out' feeling by smoking, drinking etc. But bible says:

1. Matthew 11: 28
“Come to Me, all you people that are tired and have a heavy burdens. I will give you rest.”
Jesus said, “Come to Me, and I’ll give You rest.”
Jesus give the rest that we need. When we burned out, just come to Him and He will give you a rest.....
2. Isaiah 40:29 + 31
“The Lord helps weak people to be strong, He causes the people without power to become powerful…. But people that trust the Lord become strong again…”
Jesus will give the power to all people that come and trust Him.

How to come to Jesus:
1. Matthew 6:6
“When you pray, you should go into your room and close the door. Don’t role play with your Father. He is there in that secret place can seethe things that are done in secret, and he will reward you.”
Pray in secret place, and don’t wear a mask before God. Have an intimacy relationship with Father, come as you are.
2. Psalm 46:11
“Be quiet and know that I am God”
3. Matthew 11:30
“The work that I ask you to accept is easy. The burden I give you to carry is not heavy.”
Why does God still ask us to carry the burden? Doesn’t He know that we’ve already tired?
The burden that he ask us to carry on, is the way that Jesus can make us to work together with Him at the same direction, not to slow, and not to fast.
The burden is to keep us always work together with Him.

Psalm 55: 23
“Give your worries to the Lord, and he will care for you. The Lord will never let good people be defeated.”

that's all.... God bless you
