The Truth About the Sabbath

July 31, 2022

God rested on the seventh day of creation and ordained a Sabbath day of rest for the people of Israel. And while Jesus brought in a new attitude and perspective on keeping the Sabbath, many still teach there’s a physical or spiritual rest we need to pursue.
In this message from Hebrews 4, we’ll see that rest for New Covenant believers isn’t about a day of the week or seeking a new spiritual experience. We don’t need to try to enter God’s rest because we’re already “in”! So take a deep sigh of relief, relax, and enjoy the truth about rest that can permeate your everyday life!

We live in a day of relativism, where everyone can have their own version of truth. People often decide what to believe based on the ideas and viewpoints that make them feel good.

In this message, we’ll discover what the Bible says about truth and the decisions we need to make as believers about where to set our minds. You’ll learn that truth is simple and easy to find because God has already placed it inside you!
