WHY YOU NEED SOUL-REST
Everyone feels busy and stressed. Our chaotic modern lives have never needed the promise of Jesus more than now:
“Come to me all who labour and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Recognising the problem in our lives is easy. Diagnosing the causes takes a bit more effort. Making the necessary changes on our own is next to impossible.
This course has been designed to address the desperate need for connection with God which modern life conspires to suffocate. It’s a sequenced, thoughtful journey unpacking the promise Jesus makes in Matthew 11 which will help you to not simply feel the weight of the spiritual issue, but see a clear path to a healthier, more rested, and ultimately more connected relationship with God.
The group environment will help you reflect honestly and find support in making necessary changes in your life to truly experience the Soul Rest Jesus promises.

FOR PASTORS AND CHURCHES
The Soul Rest journey has powerful potential for your church. The primary challenge for pastors and churches to seeing renewal and growth in their people has never been in simply presenting the truth.
It’s how the people take it up in their lives.
Anyone can see that being overly busy and stressed is harmful for us, but simply telling people to slow down doesn’t work. There are perspectives, habits and misunderstandings that need to be undone before any encouragement to change will be effective.
That’s why you don’t just need a sermon series, but a journey of personal change. Each week of the course asks participants to respond to the truth presented by making changes in their own lives, and to be accountable to their group for following through.
The aligned sermon series ensures the whole community gets at least part of the experience. Some of the materials encourage church attendance at particular moments, providing the opportunity to celebrate God’s work as a community during the course.
