Baggage - Intro

We all carry baggage. Some of it is easy to spot — wounds from past relationships, guilt over mistakes we’ve made, or burdens we’ve picked up along the way. Other baggage is more subtle — the quiet weight of expectations, the pressure to succeed, the need for approval, or the endless pursuit of more. Whether we recognize it or not, this baggage weighs us down, slows us down, and keeps us from walking freely in the life God has called us to live.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV), “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.” God never intended for us to live weighed down. He calls us to release the burdens we’ve picked up along the way, and to step into the freedom that Christ offers.

In this series, “Baggage” we will explore the different kinds of baggage that weigh us down and discover how to lay them at the feet of Jesus. God will reveal to us how to experience the freedom that comes from traveling with and trusting God with the weight we were never meant to carry.

This series is an invitation — an invitation to let go of what’s weighing you down and embrace the freedom that Christ offers. Are you ready? Let’s take the first step together.
