Sabbath: What is Christian Rest?

God put a work-rest rhythm for humanity in place from the very beginning. Work for six days, and rest on the 7th. Today, most people have a 5 day work week and a two day weekend. But in some ways we feel like we are constantly working, yet find no satisfaction from that work. We may spend two days seeking rest on the weekend, but for many of us it feels like a frantic pursuit of rest that is always out of our reach.

This week we will take a step back and try to understand what rest actually is, and how we can experience it. We will take Jesus as our model, and Scripture as our guide. I hope you will join us for this conversation!
