Rest Assured: Embracing the Promise of Eternal Sabbath

Have you ever had the feeling that you are chasing rest that always seems just beyond your reach? What if that rest was never meant to be chased, but entered—like stepping out of hiding into the open? The writer of Hebrews talks about a rest so rich, so vibrant, it stretches from the creation of the universe right into your own heartbeat. Engage the art of Sabbath and discover a peace that's been available all along.

Scripture reading: Hebrews 4:1-11

This is Week 8 of our series on Sabbath

Respond Together:

• If your life was written as a story, what title would you give to your current chapter? Is it ‘The Pursuit’, ‘Numb,’ ‘Waiting,’ ‘The Striving’, or are you ready to turn the page to 'Embracing Rest'?"

• Bruggemann says “People who keep sabbath live all seven days differently.” How might keeping sabbath shape your daily presence, posture and witness to everyone around you?

• Reflect on the last time you experienced true peace — can you recall the experience, the time, the place? What if that peace was just a glimpse, a shadow of something far greater available to you each day?
