Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: Sabbath

Exodus 20:8-11

 

 

God created a rhythm for your life.

 

This rhythm of living, God Himself modeled and instituted.

Just as we are made in the image of the God who works, we are made in the image of the God who rests.

What is the Sabbath?

 

A day of rest

 

The Sabbath reminds us that we are finite.

 

The Sabbath requires trust.

 

A day of delight

 

We delight in God.

 

We delight in one another.

 

We delight in creation.

 

A day set apart

 

Exodus 20:8-11: the forgotten commandment

 

Choose to say no to the life-draining patterns of this world so that you can say yes to the life-giving rhythm that God created you for.
