Sabbath

Series: Be Still

Geoffrey TurnerAugust 24, 2025Weekend Services

Previous Page

This week, Pastor Geoffrey emphasizes the vital importance of stillness, rest, and Sabbath as sacred obedience and holy resistance in a culture of noise, asserting that stillness is strength and allows for trust in God. He addresses the pervasive issue of stress, noting that 80% of people are severely and significantly stressed out, a challenge he personally faces despite loving his busy life with his wife and two daughters. He explains that rest is God's design from creation, not a post-sin necessity, as God Himself rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:1-3). The sermon positions Sabbath as a command rooted in liberation from slavery, equating modern pressures with "slavery to busy" or "technology," and highlighting that "we are free because of Jesus" to rest. This practice is presented as worship and spiritual resistance, declaring trust in God's provision. It is a gift that brings joy and abundance, not legalism, because "the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27-28).
