Podcasts about Sabbath

You've been asking us to deep dive The Yellow Deli (and the Twelve Tribes cult) for months now, and the day has finally come.  We're diving into their “communal living” and “child discipline”, bizarre Sabbath gatherings, and disgusting beliefs.  Don't be fooled by the friendly workers and delicious sandwiches…the Yellow Deli is a CULT.  Also, we touch on Shiloh Hill and the dark web blood cowboy boots and the latest headlines of the week.

Does rest feel impossible in your busy life? Eryn Lynum joins me again for part two of our conversation about biblical rest—and how nature models it beautifully.In this episode of the Simply Convivial Podcast, we explore what God teaches us through perennials, adrenal failure, and the Israelites in the wilderness. Eryn shares how her chronic illness as a teen forced her to build rest into her life—and how Sabbath rhythms have borne fruit in her family, faith, and business ever since.You'll learn:

Cheryl Reicin, the co-chair of the life sciences group at Mintz, discusses how she became a biotech lawyer and why observing the Sabbath has been good for her as a lawyer. 

Today's sermon comes from a series on the life of Jesus described in the gospel of Luke. Luke gives us many of Jesus' teachings on what it means to be a disciple. In short, a disciple is one who applies the gospel to absolutely every single area of life. In Luke 6, we learn about Sabbath rest. God gives us rest from our labors – it is a gift and a blessing. It is a way of keeping us healthy and protecting us from being overwhelmed by our work. God himself modeled it for us when creating the universe. Let's look at it more closely: Why do we need it? Where do we get it? How do we do it? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 23, 2003. Series: The Meaning of Jesus Part 2; Following Him. Scripture: Luke 6:1-11. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

This week on the podcast we'll come around God's beautiful invitation to REST. This rest isn't just the gift of sleep or the pause of a Sabbath day—it's the deep, soul-stirring rest that only comes when we surrender to God's unfailing love, who is Jesus. As long as it is called “Today,” God beckons us to lay down the weight of our own efforts, and to find our peace and our pace in His way, His heart. And even when wrestle or get it wrong, His mercies are endless, His invitation still currently just as present as the air we breathe!

On today's show, episode 179, I'm speaking with David L. Jones, who grew up under the umbrella of the Southern Baptist Church in North Carolina, USA. I had a wonderful conversation with David about his spiritual journey, from his vocation as Pastor of an Independent Sunday-keeping Baptist Church to pastoring a Seventh-day Sabbath-keeping fellowship located in a high concentration area of the North Carolina Bible Belt. The area has a strong presence of Protestant evangelical and fundamentalist Christians who collectively maintain a strong influence on religious beliefs based on social and political life. I'll be speaking with David about his spiritual journey, leading both he and his wife into pursuing a lifestyle according to the Laws of the Mosaic Torah, especially that of observing the Seventh-Day Sabbath and keeping biblical festivals in harmony with the teachings of the Dead Sea Scrolls Zadokite Ecclesiastical Calendar and faithfully adhering to the Torah's clean and unclean food laws. David and the Baptist Church he was pastoring stopped putting up Christmas Trees and partaking in whole-hog barbecues, the eating of pork shoulders, bacon, and a unique blend of seafoods such as oysters, clams, and shrimp. With all these changes, we'll learn how they affected not only his immediate family but also how the biblical Torah amazingly touched and changed the lives of the congregation he was pastoring as an Independent North Carolina Baptist Church. Further, we'll also learn about the Jones Family singers and their love for music in the genres of Southern Gospel and Bluegrass. Please, join me now for my interview with David L. Jones.

This week, Bushy and Metal Mike sit down to discuss the almighty Black Sabbath.  With the coming final show, we thought it was time to dive the band.  And what better way to do that, then to have David "Scapegoat" Tyler sit in? In this first episode, we go through the first four Sabbath albums, track by track, and discuss the obvious invention of the "Heavy Metal Sound".

Some Israelites try to go to Canaan without God. A Sabbath-breaker executed. Korah leads a rebellion against Moses and Aaron.

   Rest, after a long busy day, or a very long journey is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? It’s amazing how God has designed our bodies, minds and hearts to recover with REST each in their own way, isn’t it? In part, that’s what a weekly Sabbath is all about, and have you found yourself caught in the over-stressed life without a Sabbath rest?   Let’s rejoin Ezra and his large caravan who finally arrived safely in Jerusalem after their 4-month walking journey from Babylon. 4 months in the hot, dry middle east climate, walking with about 1500 other people and all the carts with their belongings and even animals, can you imagine? Ezra simply says this: “So we arrived in Jerusalem where we rested for three days.” (Ezra 8:32) Oh my, can you imagine how welcome and refreshing this 3-day rest was for these weary travelers? (Click here to see full text, images and links)    Pastor Doug Anderson    “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2)Have a comment or question about today's chapter? I'm ready to hear from you, contact me here.

Have you ever wished you could get a glimpse of something from God's perspective?  In this week's mini-series, you're going to get just that! The Holy Spirit more or less, sent me a download on Sabbath about the price the Jews have already paid for what happened with Jesus at the cross.  Join me this week as we cover this whole scenario from a timeless perspective.  I can guarantee its the viewpoint you've never considered, and with such depth that you will be richly blessed!

Send us a textIn this episode, Pastor Dom continues teaching about the impact of the resurrection of Jesus and its connection to the practice of communion. Mark 8:3131 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.Luke 23:4343 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”1 Corinthians 15:1414 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.Mark 16:11 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. Mark 16:7-8But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.” 8  So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.Luke 24:9-119 Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10    It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. 11 And their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them.Luke 24: 36-3836 …Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” 37  But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?Matthew 28:11-1511 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened. 12 When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13  saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.' 14  And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will appease him and make you secure.” 15  So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.1 Timothy 4:22 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,Proverbs 12:2222 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,…John 20: 2-102 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.” 3 Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. 4 So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. 5 And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. 9  For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.John 20:19-2119 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”John 20:29Jesus

Main Theme: Honor opens doors to God's blessings. Dishonor restrains God's power. Key Scripture: Mark 6:1–6 Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him. 2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands! 3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him. 4 But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” 5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching. Main Points: Honor Releases God's Power: Jesus could not (not just would not) perform mighty works because He was dishonored. Honor positions us to receive from God. Dishonor blocks blessings. Understanding Honor: Honor = Valuing someone or something. It involves public and private appreciation, respect, and esteem. Dishonor is treating someone as common or ordinary. The Danger of Familiarity: People in Jesus' hometown thought they knew Him based on His past, but failed to recognize the version of Him operating in purpose. Sometimes people limit others by clinging to an old version of them. The Role of Faith and Honor: Faith and honor are linked. “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” Dishonor is often rooted in unbelief. Peter dishonored Jesus by rebuking Him, failing to understand His purpose to suffer before reigning (Matthew 16:21–23). Misunderstanding Leads to Dishonor: Like Peter and the Pharisees, we can dishonor God by misunderstanding His ways and the people He uses. God may send help in unexpected packages (e.g., a story about rejecting help from a Muslim or atheist and then blaming God). Honor Is Seen in Action: Luke 5:17–20 – Friends of a paralyzed man honored Jesus through faith and action (breaking through the roof). Meanwhile, Pharisees sat in judgment and missed the move of God, despite God's power being present. Western vs. Eastern Mindsets: Western: “I think, therefore I am” (individualistic). Eastern: “We are, therefore I am” (community-oriented, honor flows more naturally). Practical Example: In education, honoring teachers leads to more help and deeper learning. Likewise, honoring spiritual leaders unlocks their ability to bless you. Final Takeaways: Honor opens doors of blessing. Dishonor, especially rooted in familiarity or misunderstanding, closes those doors. Faith acts, and honor releases what God has placed in others for your benefit. Always honor God, His people, and His process — not for their sake only, but for your own growth and blessing. Closing Declaration: “Doors of blessing are open to me because I honor.”

In this exploration of the Sabbath, we're reminded of God's intentional design for rest and delight in His presence. This teaching takes us through the biblical origins of the Sabbath, from Creation to the Ten Commandments, emphasizing that this day of rest is a gift from God for our benefit and betterment. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to rediscover the practice of Sabbath in our own lives, not as a rigid rule, but as a life-giving rhythm that deepens our relationship with God and allows us to truly delight in His goodness.Landon Pickering is lead pastor of Trademark Church in Fort Worth Texas.Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Matthew Sleeth, Executive Director of Blessed Earth, on Exodus 31:12–15 and is part of our series That You May Live.

We all need rest. But where do we get it? And how does Jesus offer it? On two separate occasions Jesus shows the Pharisees (and us) how badly we misunderstand the nature of rest, and clarifies that true rest is only found in him.Application Questions: 1. What are areas in life you tend to "human-splain" to God about how things should be?2. How do you usually pursue rest?3. Is your pursuit of rest primarily self-focused or God-focused?4. How is Jesus' vision for Sabbath rest more conservative or libertine than you expect?5. What is one thing you can do to pursue more God-oriented Sabbath rest on a weekly basis?

The Torah parsha reading for this week is "Shalach Lekha," (Numbers chapters 13 through 15) -- "send out men" --8:1-12:16), and it is the infamous story of 'the spies.' Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship begins with the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SSM-6-20-25-Shalach-Lekha-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 And once again, and ESPECIALLY now, events in the world again set the stage for the midrash this week. Mark relates that he believes the title was given to him just this morning, in two suggestions: "Spies Who Lie," "and...Die." The 'twelve spies' who went into the land in Numbers chapter 13 brought back an 'evil report,' and literally all of the congregation of the children of Israel suffered for it. What they really did, says the witness of Scripture, was to "despise" Yahuah Himself. Today's spies have the ear of world leaders, including the President of the United States. At least 51 knowingly lied to the American people, participated in an attempted (and at least temporarily successful) coup, and arguably STILL despise the God of the Bible. And that is the part that remains so clearly evident today as well. The question remains the same , too: Who will we believe? Shalach Lekha: "Spies Who Lie...and Die," https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/WT-CooH-6-21-25-Shalach-Lekha-Spies-Who-Lie-and-DIE-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Jesus Followers Have Eternal Life, Even Before their Earthly Death, Because Whoever “believes him {God} who sent me {Jesus}” MESSAGE SUMMARY: First, the moment you become a Jesus Follower, you have immediate Eternal Life; and you become a Citizen of Heaven.  Jesus tells us, in John 5:24, that His followers have Eternal Life and are Citizens of Heaven here on earth living their earthly lives: “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.". As Christians and Citizens of Heaven, we know that the Lord is coming back -- either to greet us when we die or before we die at His Second Coming. For most of us, however, our vision of Heaven is clouded by looking backwards; therefore, the return of Jesus does not have any power in our life. Paul reinforces the return of the Lord of Heaven in Philippians 1:6: “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.". When Jesus returns, we will put on our spiritual bodies, as promised. As Jesus tells us in Matthew 4:17: “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'”.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

06/22/2025 Paul Bang Nehemiah 10:28-39 The Obligations of the Covenant 28 “The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants, and all who have separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, their daughters, all who have knowledge and understanding, 29 join with their brothers, their nobles, and enter into a curse and an oath to walk in God's Law that was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the Lord our Lord and his rules and his statutes. 30 We will not give our daughters to the peoples of the land or take their daughters for our sons. 31 And if the peoples of the land bring in goods or any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, we will not buy from them on the Sabbath or on a holy day. And we will forego the crops of the seventh year and the exaction of every debt. 32 “We also take on ourselves the obligation to give yearly a third part of a shekel[a] for the service of the house of our God: 33 for the showbread, the regular grain offering, the regular burnt offering, the Sabbaths, the new moons, the appointed feasts, the holy things, and the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God. 34 We, the priests, the Levites, and the people, have likewise cast lots for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers' houses, at times appointed, year by year, to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the Law. 35 We obligate ourselves to bring the firstfruits of our ground and the firstfruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of the Lord; 36 also to bring to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God, the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, as it is written in the Law, and the firstborn of our herds and of our flocks; 37 and to bring the first of our dough, and our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the wine and the oil, to the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and to bring to the Levites the tithes from our ground, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all our towns where we labor. 38 And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive the tithes. And the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, to the chambers of the storehouse. 39 For the people of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the contribution of grain, wine, and oil to the chambers, where the vessels of the sanctuary are, as well as the priests who minister, and the gatekeepers and the singers. We will not neglect the house of our God.”

In this eye-opening message, we expose five subtle lies we often believe about rest, productivity, and identity that quietly erode our souls and keep us from receiving the gift of Sabbath. Based on Jesus' parable in Luke 14, this episode invites us to slow down, lay down pride and performance, and embrace a rhythm of replenishment that aligns with God's heart. Whether you're stuck in hustle mode, struggling to find peace, or simply feeling worn out, this message offers truth, challenge, and hope. Sabbath isn't a luxury—it's a lifeline.

When Facing Difficult Circumstances, Look to Jesus as Our Great High Priest MESSAGE SUMMARY: Introduction – Why don't we go to God when things get difficult? Jesus is Our Great High Priest; and we have access to Him, at any time, through prayer. Today's Message – In the Jewish Temple Worship, the Great High Priest was called by God from the Jewish Tribe of Levi; and he represented the people before God, and he represented God to the people. However, the Great High Priest of the Temple was human and a sinner, thereby, requiring sacrifices to God daily to atone for his own sin as well as the sins of the people of the Temple. Jesus, like the Temple's Great High Priest, was appointed by God; but Jesus represented all humanity before God through His prayers. Also, Jesus represented God, His Father, to the people through His preaching and teaching. Additionally, and like the Temple's Great high Priest, Jesus provided a sacrifice to God for the sins of the people. However, Jesus sacrifice was permanent and “once offered for the sins of the whole world” and forever. In Hebrews 5:9-10, the author of Hebrews tells us that: “{Jesus} And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.". Jesus priesthood, unlike the Temple's Great High Priest, was a “permanent Priesthood” with limitless power. Therefore, Jesus is able offer complete Salvation to all that come to Him. Again, the author of Hebrews, in Hebrews 7:26-27, presents how Jesus, is Our Great High Priest and how Jesus differs from the Temple's Great Hight Priest: “For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He {Jesus} has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.". Since Jesus is Our great High Priest, the author of Hebrews admonishes us, in Hebrews 4:16, to hold fast to Jesus as Our great High Priest and to not let go. In Hebrews 4:15-16, we are told why we are so privileged with Jesus as Our Great High Priest: “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.". Since Jesus has been designated by God as Our Great High Priest for our intercessions with God, we have Jesus, as Our Great High Priest in our times off difficulties and needs. Therefore, when times get difficult for us, we have no excuse for not going Our Great High Priest, Jesus, with troubles. Through Our great High Priest, God is merciful and full of grace; and God will meet our needs.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift!
