You’re Stretched Too Thin? Here’s Why
Episode 109
Saturday, 13 December, 2025
If you feel stretched too thin, it’s not because you’re weak—it’s because you’re carrying weight God never told you to carry alone. In this message, we unpack why overworking isn’t faithfulness, why burnout is often a warning, and how God’s strategy for rest includes delegation, clarity, and shared responsibility. Using Matthew 11 and Exodus 18, this sermon exposes a hard truth: Overworking can be disobedience disguised as responsibility. If you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or trying to do everything by yourself—this is your reset. Key themes in this message: Why rest is a real strategy, not laziness “Make your load lighter” (God’s leadership principle) Delegation without guilt Why capable people matter How clarity eliminates confusion 📖 Scriptures: Matthew 11:28–30, Exodus 18:17–23 📌 CONNECT WITH US 👍 Like this video if it encouraged you 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications for weekly messages - 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@ApocMinistry?sub_confirmation=1 📤 Share this message with someone who needs it 🎧 Listen to the podcast: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts (Search: APOC Ministry) 📱 Follow us on social media: Instagram: @apocministry_ YouTube: APOC Ministry 🌐 Learn more about APOC Ministry: Visit our website and get connected to upcoming services, events, and resources.
