Text: James 1:2-12

Today’s Olympic Games provide a vivid illustration of the impact and significance of rewards. In these games, athletes from all over the world compete for the privilege of bringing honor and glory to their country, their name recorded in history, and the prize of a metal that will be placed around their neck. We are grateful for these athletes and celebrate their victories, but the rewards they are pursuing are perishable and will not last. The metals will corrode, nations will rise and fall, and even names will be forgotten. However, when it comes to following Jesus, we are called to pursue an imperishable, never-fading reward. In today’s message, we discover the “crown of life” that the Lord has promised to specific believers. We invite you to listen closely to discover how you can love Jesus fully and live for Jesus faithfully, even amid the trials of life.

Text: 2 Timothy 4:6-8

God tells us many things about discipleship in His Word, but one area of discipleship that is often overlooked is its rewards. Jesus assures us that our willingness to fully follow Him will not be without reward, but there is much about this that we don’t understand. Throughout this study, we are discovering the five crowns, or eternal rewards, that God says are in store for certain individuals. We pray that each crown will encourage you to examine your life and seek His growth and transformation so that you can have confidence and assurance of these rewards in the future.

In this message, we learn from Pastor Rob Spencer how being content with the Gospel leads to being sent with the Gospel. God is blessing Crosslink to be a sending church as we seek to Impact the Valley and Bless the Nations with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As he highlights some of the amazing works of God thus far, Pastor Rob challenges us with this question, “How are you being sent?”

Text: Matthew 11:28-30

We live in a world filled with unrest. Many of us are weary and heavy-laden. Jesus wants us to come to Him and let Him take our heavy load and replace it with His light load. In Matthew 11:28-30 we find three steps to finding rest for our weary soul. 1) We must come to Him. We must trust Him to lighten our load. 2) We must take His yoke upon us. We must humble ourselves before Him and receive His yoke. When we do, we come to realize that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. 3) We must learn from Him because He is gentle and lowly. We do not have a harsh taskmaster for a teacher. He treats us with kindness, meekness, and humility and we find that He is very approachable. We will want to learn from Him because He loves us infinitely. Jesus wants to give us rest, but we must turn from our selfish and sinful ways and come to Him, humble ourselves before Him, receive His yoke, and learn from Him because He is gentle and lowly, filled with grace and love toward all who will come.
