Sabbath Rest

Nov 8, 2026  •  Pastor John Keller

Do Christians still need to practice Sabbath rest? And what does it actually look like in our busy lives today?

God created rest as a gift, not a burden. From the beginning, Sabbath was built into the rhythm of creation. It was an invitation to stop working, turn our attention toward God, and receive the good things He provides. But somewhere along the way, rest can become another obligation on our to-do list. In this message, we explore what Scripture teaches about Sabbath rest, how Jesus understood it, and why making space to rest is an act of trust. Sabbath isn't about following a perfect set of rules. It's about choosing God's presence over constant productivity and allowing Him to restore our souls.
