Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jul 28, 2011

Rest God’s Way

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 16, 2011

The Sabbath reminds us of our need for rest. God gave the Sabbath to Israel and through Jesus God gives us a Sabbath rest as well.

Richard Swenson wrote a book in the 1990’s entitled, “Margin” in which he describes modern society as so overcommitted and over scheduled that we have no space left for rest. A reviewer writes: Overload is not having time to finish the book you’re reading on stress. Margin is having time to read ...read more

"what's It All About?"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Oct 21, 2020

A sermon about the Law of Love.
