Lighten the Load || Ps. Ori Zacher

Welcome to the Newlife podcast! We’re so glad that you could join us. Newlife is one family with many churches located in Brisbane, Coolangatta, Moreton Bay, Robina, and online and we exist to see more people more like Jesus by planting and leading thriving local churches. This Sunday, Ori Zacher delivered a powerful message rooted in Matthew 11:28, where Jesus desires to lighten our load through a simple invitation: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Ori unpacked the deep meaning behind living yoked to Christ—a life of surrender where we no longer carry the weight of our burdens alone. When we walk in step with Jesus, we allow Him to lead, to carry the heaviness we were never meant to bear, and to guide us with His wisdom and grace. It’s not about striving, but abiding. This message is a timely reminder to lean into the rest Jesus offers and to trust in His teaching, leadership, and unshakeable peace. Tune in to be encouraged and challenged to live under His yoke—light, freeing, and full of purpose. We pray that this message is a blessing.
