The Greatest Promise — “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 In this powerful Gospel sermon, we look closely at one of the most comforting and glorious promises in Scripture: Jesus Christ promises rest to those who come to Him. What does it really mean to come to Christ? 

Where can sinners find forgiveness, peace, salvation, and rest for their souls? This message points us away from human works, religion, morality, and self-righteousness and directs us to Christ alone. Jesus Christ is able to save, willing to save, and faithful to fulfill His promises. Salvation is not found in a denomination, religious profession, good works, or human effort. Salvation is found in a Person—Jesus Christ. This sermon explores:

  • The greatest promise of Jesus Christ
  • Matthew 11:27–30 and the invitation to come to Christ
  • What it means to hear the Gospel with the heart
  • The mercy and grace of God toward sinners
  • Why salvation is found in Christ alone
  • Coming to Jesus by faith
  • Rest from guilt and the burden of sin
  • Rest from fear of judgment and condemnation
  • Rest from the fear of death
  • Eternal security in Christ
  • The power, willingness, and faithfulness of Jesus
  • Growing in Christ and finding deeper rest for your soul
  • The Gospel of grace versus salvation by works
“Come unto Me… and I will give you rest.” If you are weary, burdened by sin, troubled about your salvation, afraid of death, or searching for peace with God, listen carefully to this message and consider the invitation of Jesus Christ. 

🙏 Come to Christ. Trust Christ. Rest in Christ.

Be of Good Cheer, friends-in-Christ JESUS

"Return, return, O Shulamite, return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies." -Song of Solomon 6:13 [KJV]   It is the church that is here called upon to return, and most likely by the daughters of Jerusalem. Some have thought the church is so called, as being of Salem, or Shulem, the shortened word for Jeru-salem. And some have thought that Salem is the same with Solomon, as the feminine of Solomon, the wife. And others have supposed, that as Jerusalem means peace, the church is called so, on account of her loveliness. And no doubt, in each sense, the church may well be called so, being married to Christ; being of the "Jerusalem that is above, which is the mother of us all;" and being beautiful, peaceful, and lovely in Jesus, as Jerusalem is the praise of the whole earth, Psalm 48:9 . But wherefore is the Shulamite called upon to return, to be looked upon, and with such earnestness...

Great Encouragement in Christ JESUS ~ 19 October, 2025 A.D.

"Behold, he prayeth!"   -Acts 9:11 [KJV] In many trades, it is customary to shew samples or patterns. By these men judge of the goodness or quality of the whole. St. Paul sets himself forth as a sample, or pattern, of the free, distinguishing, sovereign, unmerited grace of God, that we should judge of its nature by its efficacy upon him. “I obtained mercy, for this cause, that in me first   (-a first rate sinner) Jesus Christ may shew forth His all long suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting”   (I Timothy 1:16.) Thou hast seen this pattern of free grace. What dost thou think of it?  The whole is alike with the pattern. It cometh alike upon elect sinners. It finds no more prerequisites, fitness, qualifications, or conditions in any, than it did in St. Paul. Whenever it takes place upon any, it produceth the same effects as it did in him. Grace and mercy from Jesus, makes Saul pray to Jesus. There is the ...

Helpful Article re: BE NOT CONFORMED

"...be not conformed to this world." -Romans 12:2 [KJV] In proportion as we are conformed to the spirit of this world our understanding becomes dull in the things of God, our affections cold and torpid, and our consciences less tender and sensitive. There is an eternal opposition between God and the world lying in wickedness.  In order, then, that our spiritual experience of the truth of God should maintain its ground, it must not be dulled and deadened by conformity to the world. It is like the sabre that the soldier carries into battle; it must not trail unsheathed upon the ground lest point and edge be dulled; both must be kept keen and sharp, that execution may be done upon the foe. So it is with our enlightened understanding , with our tender conscience , and our heavenly affections . If we let them fall upon the world, it is like a soldier trailing his sabre upon the pavement; every step he takes dulls both edge and point. If we are conformed to this worl...
