In this series, you’ll discover how Jesus can lighten your load and help you manage your stress. Join Pastor Rick as he teaches about the pitfalls of a hurried lifestyle and how to choose “better” over “busy.”

Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30 NIV). In this message, Pastor Rick explains three ways Jesus teaches his followers to carry lighter burdens and handle stress in healthy ways.

The first step toward lightening your load is to bring your stress to Jesus. Join Pastor Rick as he explains why Jesus calls you to bring all your burdens to him and then give up control, trusting him to help you.
