THE YOKE OF PEACE
Philippians 4:6-9
Hope you'll open your Bibles with me, I invite you to, to Philippians,
chapter number 4. We'll consider this morning verses 6 through verse 9,
Philippians 4:6-9. Let's go to the Lord in prayer together.

the young calf let out a bellow and began to run madly through the
barnyard, the boy, holding on for dear life to keep from being
strangled. And then the kid began to shout, "Dad, Dad, Dad, come and
catch us. We're running away."

Now, think about that quaint, quaint story, and I believe it will remind
you as it did me, of how the world in which we live is trying to put us
into it's yoke. The world says, "Come and yoke up with me, and I will
give you freedom." That's a super word, isn't it? Freedom. I like the
sound of it. The world says, "Yoke up with me and I'll give you freedom
and pleasure and life and ever ...
