As we stand together on this last Sunday of June 29, 2025, let our hearts be stirred toward the Gospel hope that carries us from one month into the next.
In Scripture, the closing of a period—whether days, weeks, or months—invites both reflection on God’s faithfulness and fresh surrender to His purposes.

Today’s message draws from Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28–30, where He calls the weary to Himself, and from Paul’s reminder in Philippians 3:13–14 to press on toward our heavenly prize. May these truths anchor us as we bow before the Lord in gratitude, conviction, and expectancy.
A Gospel Word for the Last Sunday of the Month
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
- Rest for the Weary: As the month closes, we often carry burdens—unfinished projects, unmet goals, relationship strains. Jesus’ open invitation is not limited by calendar; it is for every soul bent under the weight of life. Today, let His gentle yoke and easy burden renew your strength.
- Reflection on Faithfulness: Lamentations 3:22–23 declares, “His mercies are new every morning.” Though time marches on, God’s compassion never grows old. Take a moment to recount His provisions this month—meals, friendships, answered cries—then offer Him your wholehearted praise.
- Renewal of Purpose: Paul charges us, “I press toward the mark for the prize…” (Philippians 3:14). As June fades, what unfinished business will you carry forward? Invite the Holy Spirit to refine your priorities, align your heart with heaven’s agenda, and empower you to pursue your calling with renewed passion.
- Anticipation of God’s Goodness: The closing of one season ushers in another. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God’s plans are for our welfare, to give us a future and hope. Step into July trusting that every step is overseen by the One who holds time in His hands.
Encouragement for Today
- You Are Seen and Known. El-Roi—the God who sees—has watched over your moments of joy and tears alike. Nothing escapes His notice.
- Your Sins Are Forgiven. Through Christ’s finished work, your slate is clean. Go forward in the freedom of grace.
- Your Calling Endures. Whether you’re a student, parent, laborer, or leader, God has placed you where you are for such a time as this.
- Your Hope Is Secure. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work within you—able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
