     | 5,205 views

    Labor Day: The word "sabbath" has something to do with "rest." But like the word “sabbath,” the word “rest” has become lost in American society. This message brings awareness to a forgotten and important spiritual principle.

    This morning we are going to take a look at “Sabbath Rest,” and try to understand what it is. The word “sabbath” seems so foreign to us today, and whenever we hear the word we tend to think of Sundays or going to church; however, that’s not entirely what sabbath is about. In the Bible the sabbath ...read more

    Favor in the Field Ruth 2: 4-7 As I pondered these verses I was reminded what a difference a day can make. It is amazing how God can take what appears to be an ordinary or even uncertain circumstance and work it out for our benefit. Ruth had made the long journey from Moab to Bethlehem ...read more
