Henry Kelly, Bible Education Institute
In a world that never seems to slow down, Jesus offers something we all desperately need: true rest. In this message, we explore the biblical meaning of Sabbath—not as a legalistic rule, but as a gracious invitation from God to stop, rest, reflect, and worship. Centered on Jesus' words in Matthew 11:28-30, "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest," this sermon shows how Christ carries our greatest burdens and teaches us a healthier rhythm of life. Looking at passages from Genesis, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, and Matthew, you'll discover that Sabbath is more than taking a day off. It's setting aside holy time to delight in God, remember His faithfulness, and be renewed by His presence. Whether you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or simply longing for deeper peace, this message offers practical encouragement to help you slow down, trust Jesus, and find the lasting rest only He can give.
Lutheran Preaching and Teaching from St. John Random Lake, Wisconsin
9 Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue. 10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.11 Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.14 Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.15 But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. 16 Yet He warned them not to make Him known, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:18 “Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen,My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased!I will put My Spirit upon Him,And He will declare justice to the Gentiles.19 He will not quarrel nor cry out,Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.20 A bruised reed He will not break,And smoking flax He will not quench,Till He sends forth justice to victory;21 And in His name Gentiles will trust.”

1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. 2 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”3 But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and ate the showbread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? 5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless? 6 Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple. 7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
In this message, discover how God calls every believer into “holy work” empowered by His Spirit—not just inside the church, but in creativity, business, parenting, and everyday vocation.Drawing from Colossians, Ephesians, and the sweep of the biblical story, this sermon explores:The sacred nature of workWork in Eden before the fall – Genesis 1:26–28; 2:15Co-laboring with God in His mission – 1 Corinthians 3:5–9Making disciples as the core “work” of every believer – Matthew 28:18–20; John 15:1–8Living in the fifth act of God's storyCreation, Fall, Israel, Jesus, Church, New Creation – Genesis 1–3; Exodus 19–20; Jeremiah 31:31–34; John 1:14; Acts 1:8; Revelation 21–22Our place in God's unfolding drama – Acts 13:36; Ephesians 2:10In Christ: the engine of holy workFully mature “in Christ” – Colossians 1:28–29; 2:5–7, 9–10Firm faith in Christ vs. hollow tradition – Colossians 2:8–17Abiding in Christ for lasting fruit – John 15:4–5A New Testament view of SabbathSabbath as a shadow; Christ as the substance – Colossians 2:16–17Jesus, Lord of the Sabbath – Matthew 12:1–8; Mark 2:27–28Rest not as a rigid day but a Person we live in – Matthew 11:28–30; Hebrews 4:1–11Power for the assignmentStrenuously contending with His energy – Colossians 1:28–29 (NKJV/NIV)Dunamis and energeia: resurrection power at work in us – Ephesians 1:18–20; 3:16–21You will receive power and be My witnesses – Acts 1:8Calling creatives and business leadersCommissioning creatives to disciple through art, music, and media – Exodus 31:1–5; Psalm 33:3Commissioning marketplace leaders as kingdom builders – Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 11:25; Luke 16:10–12Learn why vision is the antidote to sin (Proverbs 29:18), why mature Christians go to church full to leave empty in service (2 Timothy 4:6–8), and how to live a life of costly, joy-filled obedience that ends each day exhausted but deeply at rest in Christ.
Jesus, the Sabbath, and the Pharisees (Matthew 12): Lord of the Sabbath & Greater Than the Temple In this episode we will study Matthew 12 (with parallels in Mark) where Jesus and His disciples face Pharisaic confrontation over Sabbath regulations when the disciples pluck grain, an act permitted by Deuteronomy 23:25 but condemned by extra Pharisaic rules. • Jesus defends them using David eating consecrated bread (1 Samuel 21) and the priests working on the Sabbath • Jesus declares “something greater than the temple is here” and “the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath” • Jesus exposes legalism by healing a man with a withered hand in the synagogue, showing it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath • Mark highlights Jesus' anger at their hardness of heart and the Pharisees conspiring with the Herodians to destroy Him • Matthew connects these events to Isaiah 42, emphasizing Jesus' Spirit-anointed, merciful ministry and Gentile hope.

His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. [2] But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.” [3] He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him: [4] how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? [5] Or have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless? [6] I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. [7] And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless. [8] For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.” [9] He went on from there and entered their synagogue. [10] And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”- so that they might accuse him.

So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” [13] Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other. [14] But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him. The Sabbath was never about restriction but restoration (In Christ). • The purpose of the Sabbath is physical/spiritual rest (1-8) • How legalism wrecks the Sabbath (9-14) • Our Sabbath is found in Christ (8)

Adventurous Living - The Meadow Springs Community Church Podcast
Who would've thought so much discussion could surround taking time, after the work is complete, to purposefully rest during the week? But what constitutes work? Conversely, what constitutes rest? Consider the work of creation and redemption... the two most important works in human history. Where did rest fit in?
Sermon By: Pastor Roman Folia (The Gospel of Matthew pt.42)
Luther reminds us that people must have a holiday, that is, to “cease from labor.” Yet, while the Sabbath is meant for rest, it is not just rest from work, but rest in Christ. The Sabbath is to be made holy by occupation with holy words, works, and life. This Sabbath is not restricted to a particular day or time but is grounded in Christ who is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8). Rev. John Pless, Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry and Missions at Concordia Theological Seminary, Ft. Wayne, IN, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the 3rd commandment.

We are all seeking rest but do we really even know what that is? Often we feel more tired and restless. Jesus says only in Him can we find true rest.

What is the point of the Sabbath-- Matthew 12-1-8 looks forward to the morning sermon in public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these eight verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that Jesus, and resting in Him, is the point of the Sabbath.
Horizon was founded with a motto: Yours to Explore. The idea was to create a place where people could comfortably investigate faith and God. That notion wasn't something we grasped casually; it came directly from Jesus. His posture was warm, confident, and welcoming. He stood before skeptics and encouraged them to ask questions, test His miracles, and challenge His claims. The most compelling argument for His deity came from His behavior, and that model serves as the basis for Horizon's core values: culturally relevant, comfortable environment, excellence, family, challenging Bible teaching, everybody helping out, transformed lives, and multiplication. Join Horizon's Equipping Service as we study the Book of Matthew and learn to embody what Christ demonstrated during His ministry.

Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath, who designed it for blessing, and not a list of legalistic rules to keep.
Jesus' teachings on the Sabbath are explored, highlighting how he showed mercy and compassion by healing on the Sabbath day, demonstrating that human need takes precedence over man-made laws. The Pharisees' attempts to control and condemn others through their own traditions are contrasted with Jesus' dominion over the Sabbath, declaring His authority as Lord of all things. Believers are encouraged to reflect on how they treat the Lord's Day, show mercy to one another, and trust in Christ's finished work for salvation.

Introduction: The Sabbath controversy (v 1-2) Jesus responds by appealing to… David (v 3-4) The Priests in the Temple (v 5-6) Hosea (v 7-8) You can watch this message here.
There are many words in our Bibles today that have been translated to English, and in doing so, has completely changed the meaning and implications behind the Hebrew and Greek words that were originally used. Those who have gone before us in the Christian faith have literally created doctrines and beliefs around misinterpretations of Scripture. The Christian faith today has a complete set of beliefs, yet their beliefs are missing the appropriate context and proper definitions of the words being used. Because of this, the doctrines we've created have taught us that certain Scriptures mean something that they actually do not. Many of these modern “New Testaments” compared to the ancient Aramaic and Greek texts clearly indicate that there are many “new ideas” out there which were never a part of the early Believers values. This is an issue today because this has massively affected our theology. The words have been mishandled and translated to mean something that they are actually not and this has damaged our understanding so deeply. The ancient serpent of old has no new tricks—just as he twisted Yahuah's word in the Garden of Eden, he is doing the same today.We can't help what has happened. We can't help what we don't know. But the bigger issue is that there are a remnant of voices today who are crying out, trying to breach this gap and tell people and warn people of what has happened, provide the verses and sources to back it up, yet they choose not to listen. Many don't want to deal with the thought that maybe, just maybe, everything they've been taught to believe has been a lie. Most Christians realize that while they read and study from Bibles that came from Greek and Hebrew text and terminology, very few give second thought to what the original words' meaning and intention behind them actually was. The enemy knows that the only weapon we have to fight with is the Word—don't you think his main strategy of deception would be to twist the very Word we are told to fight with and use it against us to “deceive the whole world?”Because that is precisely what has happened. The time of ignorance is over. And the times of this ignorance Yahuah winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to repent: Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.Acts 17:30-31Verses Used: -Zephaniah 3:9-Jeremiah 1:10-Jeremiah 31:28-Hosea 10:12-13-Jeremiah 8:8-Joel 2:32-Romans 10:13-John 10:9-John 3:16-Psalm 3:8-Romans 10:4-Romans 7:12-Matthew 5:17-Jude 1:4-Regarding the Sabbath: Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Mark 16:9, Luke 18:12, Luke 24:1, John 20:1, John 20:19, Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2Contact me: stephanie@promise-perspective.comVisit my website: www.promise-perpsective.com Support the show
