Practicing Sabbath is not only about embracing the rhythms of work and rest, but also is a way to resist the unceasing pull to accomplish and accumulate. God kindly sets us free from the system of our day and invites us to be distinct people who define ourselves by his love and not by what we do.

The Sabbath is a gift. It provides for us things we didn't know it would. One of those things is that it invites us into a posture where we have the ability to embrace our limitations. During this teaching, Pastor Ernie will consider Deuteronomy 5 and the way the Sabbath invites us to resist the temptation to believe the lie that we don't have any limits.

There are four values that make up a Sabbath. These four provide support for us as we journey to follow Jesus into this practice of Sabbath: Stop. Rest. Delight. Worship

Jesus provides a great invitation, "come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest." In a generation overwhelmed with restlessness, this invitation is like water to a dry land. What is interesting is that Matthew follows this great invitation with two stories about Sabbath. Sabbath and rest for the soul are welded together. It is on Sabbath where we find healing and rest for our soul.

Jesus provides a heart posture to sustain us called Contentment. He also provides a dual practice to guide our wallet to maintain contentment and buck again treasuring stuff, it is generosity and simplicity. Join Pastor Ernie as we explore both of these practices today
