You’re Carrying the Wrong Weight
What’s something you’ve been working hard on lately, and why?
What stood out to you most from the message?
What is something you’re competent in or really good at?
What’s a burden (aka expectation) you’re carrying that you shouldn’t? Why do you think you continue to carry it?
When a load starts to weigh you down, how can you release it to God?
Read Matthew 4:18-20.
How can you trade your competence for more of Jesus’ presence right now?
Read John 17:22-23.
Based on these verses, what is Jesus’ job? What would it look like to take the load of enjoying the presence of God this week?
What’s one step you can take this week to trade competence for Jesus’ presence and the life he gives?
What if the problem isn’t that you’re carrying too much—but that you’re carrying the wrong things?
Jesus never promised a life without weight.
He promised a weight that fits. In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus invites us to put down the identities, expectations, and pressures we were never meant to carry—and pick up the life He actually made us for.
This week, Brian Tome helps us to discover what Jesus wants you to drop, what’s actually yours to carry, and why following Him can make even a full life feel lighter. Recorded live in Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
