In a world where we are told that self-care looks like sleep and exercise, there's an invitation from our creator to rest, truly rest. As we recap what it looks like to build a rhythm of life as a church, Sabbath is one of the core, foundational practices that will push us to the very edges of our trust in God. Even though our culture talks about self-care, taking an entire day to rest and trust in our creator takes way more faith than you might think. When we rest in Christ, we are invited to share our burdens with him and eliminate striving. Sabbath, the practice of stopping, resting, delighting, and worshipping our creator, takes practice and persistence.

We all experience seasons of heaviness and feeling like life is too much to carry, whether because of the cold, burnout, grief, or financial stress. This week, we looked at the prophet Elijah, who, despite witnessing miraculous provision, spiraled into hopelessness when threatened by Queen Jezebel. Elijah's example shows that when we are overwhelmed, we tend to isolate and forget God's faithfulness, believing lies like "I'm the only one left." God's response was not fire, but a gentle whisper, calling Elijah to rest and restoration in His presence (Matthew 11:28). This restoration is more than sleep; it requires intentional solitude—making space away from distractions and the constant buzz—to allow God to replace our lies with His truth and renew our soul for the purpose He has for us.Support the show

There's a big difference between the wisdom of the world and God's wisdom. The world's wisdom tells us that our worth is measured by what we accomplish, driving us to a relentless pursuit of "more"—more work, more achievements, and a pace of life that leaves us exhausted. But God's wisdom, as revealed in scripture, is often counter-intuitive and calls us to a different way of living.This is why the Sabbath is so vital. It is not just a religious practice; it is an act of trust. By choosing to rest for one day, we reject the world's demand to always be striving and instead surrender our control to God. This pause allows us to step away from our "got to" lists and embrace our "get to" list, practicing the truth that we are more than what we do. It is in this discipline of rest that we build the faith to trust God with every other area of our lives.Support the show
