Higher: Don't Carry It All

"Don't worry," Jesus says, Matthew 6:19-34. But can it be true? That God provides, for real, everything we need? Do you believe that? Have you ever seen it? If you stopped working right now, like the lilies or the birds, how long would your pantry stay full? How long would you get to keep your apartment, or your house? What can this mean? We worked on it pretty hard, and let The Decemberists have the last word: "The neighbor's blessed burden...becomes burden borne of all in one. Don't carry it all." Give it a listen after the sermon, here. (Our congregational cover sounded even better.)
