Come to Me: Finding Rest Under Jesus’ Authority
In this sermon, we reflect on what true authority looks like through the words of Zechariah and Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11: “Come to me, all you who are weary.” In a world that often defines power through control, strength, and status, Jesus reveals a different way: authority rooted in humility, compassion, mercy, and love. This message invites us to bring our burdens to Christ and discover the rest that comes from God’s open-armed grace.

See how Zechariah points to a humble king who brings peace
Understand how Jesus redefines authority through love and compassion
Reflect on what it means to serve rather than seek power
