You Should Sabbath | Mark 2:23-28
Are there mornings that you’re worn out before you get out of bed? Days where there is so much on your work and family calendar you don’t know where the energy you need is going to come from? There’s good news!
While God is limitless, He knows we are not. In our text for Sunday, Jesus makes the point that Sabbath, (a day or rest and worship), is a gift offered to God’s people designed to help them flourish. It was never meant to be a burden as the religious leaders and legalists make it out to be.
Join us on Sunday at 9AM or 11AM as we explore practical ways to enjoy Sabbath.
