Just Come

What if the invitation you've been waiting for is simpler than you think?
In this Mother's Day message, Just Come, Pastor John Huseman unpacks Jesus' great invitation in Matthew 11 "Come to me, all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Drawing from Matthew 11:25, 28–30, Romans 7, 1 John 1:9, Romans 8:1, and Psalm 147:3, this sermon reminds us that the cross was never meant to be a barrier, it has always been an invitation.
In this message, you'll discover:

Why Mother's Day can be one of the most emotionally complex days of the year,and how God sees every heart in the room
What it looks like to come to Jesus with childlike faith
How His love invites our sin, even years into walking with Him
How His love invites our shame, and the difference between condemnation and conviction
How His love invites our sorrow, and how the great Healer bandages our wounds

Whether today is full of joy, grief, or somewhere in between, whether you've been walking with God for years or feel like you've drifted off track, His invitation is the same: just come.
