Have you ever felt like you're just too much to bear or not enough to be loved? In his heartfelt message, Shawn invites us to explore the profound truth that while others may turn us away, Jesus always welcomes us in. Drawing from Mark chapter six, Shawn highlights the moment when Jesus, despite tiredness and the demands of a large crowd, responds not with irritation but with compassion, teaching and feeding those who felt lost and alone. He emphasizes that our struggles and feelings of inadequacy are welcome here—not only in the church, but also in the heart of Jesus, who styles himself as our Good Shepherd. Shawn reinforces that when we feel overwhelmed, we are not alone; Jesus provides rest, purpose, and true belonging. Through real-life examples, including the church’s initiative to support those in the foster care system, he calls us to respond to the needs around us with compassion as Christ did. This sermon is a powerful reminder that whatever your soul craves—be it peace, acceptance, or freedom—Jesus is there to satisfy that longing. Don’t miss the chance to hear this encouraging message and find out how you can experience the love and invitation of Jesus today!
