About this listen

In this powerful message by Bishop Ed Akers, we're challenged to examine the burdens we carry in our lives. The central theme revolves around Jesus' words in Matthew 11:29-30, where He invites us to take His yoke upon us. We're reminded that while everyone carries burdens, there's a profound difference between worldly burdens and the burden of the Lord. This teaching encourages us to lay down our selfish pursuits and instead pick up God's calling for our lives. We're shown that carrying the Lord's burden - seeking the lost, bearing witness to the truth, building His church, and going to all nations - might seem heavy, but it comes with divine assistance. The Holy Spirit, described as our 'paracletus' or helper, aids us in carrying this sacred responsibility. This message invites us to shift our perspective from a self-centered approach to church to one that embraces God's mission. It's a call to action, urging us to move beyond our comfort zones and truly engage with the work of the Kingdom.
