The Forgotten Gift

Stand-Alone Sermon
9/7/2025

The Pharisees treated the Sabbath like a burden—rules to keep, boxes to check, restrictions to enforce. But God wove the Sabbath into creation so His people could stop striving and learn to delight in Him. The Sabbath isn’t about what we give up—it’s about what we gain: unhurried time to savor God’s goodness, to enjoy His presence, and to rest in His care.
