Lighten your Load

Sunday was an amazing day. The Spirit of the Lord was so powerful and so gentle. During the worship one lady came and was worshiping and seeking the Lord in the altar. The sermon was about Jesus’ call to lighten our load as he spoke in Matthew 11:28- ‘Come unto me.. all who are heavy and I will give you rest.’ The Lord had spoke clearly during the week that some were heavy and needed to lighten their load. The verse is clear but at the same time the depths of it are also powerful. If you are heavy with life (job, money, family, stress, or any problem) HE WILL GIVE you rest. It is free. If you are heavy with sin- He WILL GIVE YOU REST- a Renewal. If you are burdened down with the weight of religion and not relationship- Come He will give you REST. The key is that we COME. The promise is for rest. The requirement is us to come. And that is what many did at the end the sermon. Several came seeking the Lord and God blessed. One lady shared both at the end of service and then on another day how her load had become almost unbearable. She said it was just what was special ordered for her.

How wonderful is our Savior, who designs things just for us.

Join us this Sunday morning as we finish the chapter and see what Jesus directs us to after we have came to Him.

Be Anxious for Nothing

 Sunday was a wonderful day at Leesburg Church. While it is wonderful to gather with our brothers and sisters it makes all the difference for the Holy Spirit to breath upon His people as they gather. The Spirit of God was real and we praise God for it.

Sunday morning brought the Word of God on the subject ‘Be Anxious for Nothing.’ Paul writes to us in Phillipians that we should not be worried, or ‘anxious’ for anything. We know the God who created the universe. We live in a day that has endless reasons to worry. From health, to finances, to family, to tradgedy, to world events, and the worry of tommorow. We have reason to be worried or anxious in our own flesh. Yet Paul directs us to a higher reality that we don’t need to be worried. If we will press into God and give it all to Him we will find God’s peace and not our worries. This is not to pray in fear but to give things in prayer and trust in God. Paul ends this text with some direction of our thoughts that will keep our hearts full of peace.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8 (NKJV)

We again were blessed by God with the presence of the Holy Spirit!!

Christmas Sunday

Sunday morning Pastor Josh shared a sermon titled Emanuel: Godwith Us. Jesus came for many reasons but He also came to be with us. How wonderful to serve the real God that wants to be with you, to spend time with you. The presence of God is so special and we are so blessed to have Him come to be WITH US.
Sunday night was our Christmas programs. Our drama team did a great job with their program as they dramas with a scene from Bethlehem and the world today. They ended with a wonderful signing of Silent Night. Our children also blessed us as they searched for the missing Christmas only to find Christmas’ true meaning. After service we enjoyed lots of food and fellowship with our many visitors and church family. We thank God for a wonderful day.www.TheLeesburgChurch.org
