The last day after EVERYTHING else has been done

Everyone rests and is alone

It is only for those heavily involved in ministry

Sabbatical is taken as disciplinary actionSlide3

Hebrew Definition: A day of ceasingSlide4

Why is it so hard to rest?

Society tells us to go all the time

There is always something to do

We are terrified of silence

We are afraid of being unimportant

We don’t want to miss out on somethingSlide5

Genesis 2:2

“By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.”

Exodus 20:8

“Remember the sabbath day by keeping it holy.”

Mark 2:27-28

“The sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”Slide6

Luke 10:38-42

“Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up 

to Him

 and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but 

only

 one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”Slide7

Why is this so important?

Because stress and problems are real in our lives, and we cannot do this alone and we will not survive without rest. Slide8

How do you take a sabbath in such a busy world?Slide11

Hebrews 12: 1-2

 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
