The Sabbath

In a world that celebrates constant productivity and relentless busyness, many of us find ourselves exhausted, distracted, and spiritually depleted. We don’t stop working because we hate the destination—we stop because we’ve run out of fuel. In this message, Pastor Tom VanAntwerp invites us to rediscover one of God’s most overlooked and life-giving gifts: the Sabbath. From the opening pages of Scripture, we see that rest is not an afterthought—it is woven into creation itself. God works, and then God rests. Not because He is tired, but because rest completes good work. And as people made in God’s image, we are invited to live into that same rhythm.
