OUR MISSION: To guide those far from God into the new start found in Jesus Christ.

Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

We are not a body with a soul, we are a soul with a body

Decontaminate – “The process of removing a toxic substance from something or counteracting its toxic effects.”

The generation we live in today, has the highest percentage of people dealing with a constant low-grade depression

The Heavy Soul Lamentations 3:19-20 “[ I ] remember my affliction and roaming, the wormwood and the gall. My soul still remembers and sinks within me.” First Reason Hurts from the past “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.” Psalm 42:5 We all carry (in one way or another) a heaviness from the past

The Heavy Soul Job 4:5 “But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; it touches you, and you are troubled.” Second Reason Trouble in the present “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.” Psalm 42:5 We all carry (in one way or another) a heaviness from the past

The Heavy Soul Mark 14:33-34 “...[Jesus] began to be deeply distressed and troubled... My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death...” Third Reason Anxiety about the future “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.” Psalm 42:5 Even Jesus cried out in anguish in his soul because of the future

The Heavy Soul Lamentations 3:19-22 “[ I ] remember my affliction and roaming, the wormwood and the gall. My soul still remembers and sinks within me. This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the L ORD ’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” Number One Remember God's faithfulness in the past “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.” Psalm 42:5 Recall to memory Preach to your soul

The Heavy Soul Psalm 142:2 & 5-6 “I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble.” vs.5-6 “I cried out to You, O L ORD : I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.” Number Two Cry out to God in the present “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.” Psalm 42:5 1 Peter 5:7 “[and] casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” Preach to your soul

The Heavy Soul 2 Chronicles 32:7-8 ‘Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the L ORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.’ And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said. Number Three Trust in God's power for the future “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.” Psalm 42:5 Romans 8:11 “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” Preach to your soul
