A Rest Relished
What exactly did God mean by observing the Sabbath? The Bible is pretty sparse in terms of details on what it means not to work. However, the few specific examples make it clear that honoring the Sabbath declares something about God and is a matter of the heart. Honoring the Sabbath means not doing any work to sustain your own life—and that is defined differently according to your cultural context. Honoring Sabbath also means remembering who God is. So practicing Sabbath is simple: don’t do work; remember God.
Scripture References: Psalms 46:1-11, Nehemiah 13:15-22, Numbers 15:32-36, Exodus 35:3, Exodus 16:23-29
From Series: "Sabbath: Remember to Rest. Rest to Remember."
We all want rest. Whether we are exhausted from work, school, family, or personal problems, rest seems elusive. We shouldn’t be surprised that rest is one of the major themes of the entire Bible. It is woven throughout the Scriptures from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation. In this four-part series, we will take a look at the biblical idea of Sabbath to understand what it means to rest in God. We’ll find out why we are to rest, what resting really looks like, and how to hope for the rest that God promises. We’ll conclude our series on Easter Sunday by celebrating the resurrection of Jesus and seeing how that event finally gives us the rest that we’ve always yearned for. Come and rest with us.

Advanced Sermon Catalog
Enter search parameters to narrow the sermon list appearing below. Scroll to the bottom of the page for additional search tips.
Tips
- Enter multiple search parameters to narrow the list to sermons matching all of them. For example, choose
- Book: Psalms
- Speaker: Stedman, Ray
to see sermons by Ray Stedman that also have a specific reference in the Psalms.
- Click on the Clear Filters button to see the whole list again. If you are getting no results, make sure that you don’t have an unintended filter parameter or search term remaining in place.
- Click on a column title to sort the list by that column. Click a second time to reverse the sort order. By default the list is ordered from newest to oldest (reverse chronological).
- The Book filter will not find every sermon that touches on a particular book
- it cannot find sermons where the book name does not appear in the Scripture References column, e.g. filtering on Luke does not find a sermon with references of “Matthew – Revelation”.
- Scripture References in the catalog are not complete for all sermons for various reasons
- If you are exploring the library by Date, note that the date selector has unfortunate limitations:
- Typed in dates must be in the format shown in the sermon list: 20 Jan 2019. Other formats such as 1/20/19 do not work.
- In the calendar browser that pops up, you can click on the month/year at the top to move by larger periods of time. For example, if “JANUARY 2019” is displayed and you click on it you can choose months in 2019, click again and you can navigate through years.
- Typed in dates will sometimes be misinterpreted and replaced: try editing the replacement text into your desired date rather than clearing the field and starting over.
- The Search field only searches the catalog list of sermons displayed on this page. Unfortunately we do not have the capability to search the text of sermons at this time.
