Message Review

Hurry is a toxic problem in our culture and in our lives. It distracts us from the “full life” that Jesus came to bring and kills our souls. It may feel like there’s nothing we can do to get off the hamster wheel of hurry, but Jesus offers us a better way. By following His example and adopting His lifestyle, we can take on his “easy yoke” and find rest for our souls.

Main Point | To experience life to the full, we have to ruthlessly eliminate hurry from our lives.

Focus Passages | Luke 10:38-42, Matthew 11:28-30
