In addition to a lot of helpful information about perfectionism from the psychological and sociological perspective, ultimately, perfectionism is a spiritual issue.  When we think we have to be perfect, we are not fully trusting in God’s grace.   

Today you get to hear two sermons (assuming you came to church this morning!).  This clip is from Pastor Colin Smith, senior pastor of The Orchard Evangelical Free Church.  He addresses the burden of perfectionism as a spiritual issue. 

Here’s his sermon.  (Don’t worry, it’s short!)

Study

Matthew 11:28-30 

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Pray

Let us pray, 

Lord God, we come to you this day in our imperfection, trusting that you love us just as we are.  We pray in the name of the one who saves, Jesus Christ our Lord, 

Amen.
