Homily for Holy Saturday 2016 Our celebration of Tenebrae today puts us back into the second day, the day after Jesus’s death, Jesus’s one sacrifice on the Day that Changed the World. It is a day of reflection. The tabernacle in this chapel is empty. The Blessed Sacrament has been ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 16:1-10
Denomination: Catholic
The Sabbath was on Saturday, and yet we worship on Sunday. Why do we do that, and what lessons from the Jewish Sabbath can we learn as Christians?
Before we get into the heart of the sermon I want to address idea of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was the 7th day of the week and that’s SATURDAY.

When we observe God’s prescribed Sabbath we are led into at least the types of rest.
“Law & Order: SPU – Rest-less or Rest-full?” Ex. 20:8-11; Heb. 3:7-411 Has anyone ever said to you something like “You know, you wouldn’t be so tired if…?” or “You’d have more energy if…?” How did they fill in the blank? How is your life? Are you rest-less or rest-full? God has told us that our ...read more
Scripture: Exodus 20:8-11
Denomination: Presbyterian/Reformed
In the commands regarding the Creation we find echoes of Eden. Even as we don't leave human sin to run rampant in our personal lives, we should also seek to manage God’s creation in God-honoring and God-pleasing ways.
Sabbath: Rest for the Rest of Creation Scripture Text: Exodus 23.10-13 In the passage we just read - It talked about planting-and-harvesting, …the poor and wild-animals, ...oxen-and-donkeys, …slaves and foreigners. It’s-a-little-odd, isn’t it!?! ~ …I-mean ...read more

God wants us to rest in Him and devote ourselves to the Son's Day.
Sunday is the Son’s Day Exodus 20:8-11 Rev. Brian Bill 7/15/12 Would you like to have more hours in your day? More days in your week? More weeks in your year? More years in your life? If you could have more than 24, how many would you like? According to a survey in the UK, men would ...read more

Scripture: 2 Samuel 7:1-3
Do we rely on things of the flesh like circumcision, rest days, tongues, wealth and health? Do we rely on Christ?
Did Paul use strong terms for those who promoted a variety of legalism? So then, my brothers and sisters, be glad in the Lord. It’s no trouble for me to repeat the same things to you because they will help keep you on track. Watch out for the “dogs.” Watch out for people who do evil things. Watch ...read more

Take one day off a week to gain perspective and be more productive.
Quick, do the math: A bat and a ball cost $1.10. The bat costs one dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? If you came up with 10 cents, you’re in good company. That’s the answer most people come to. It’s intuitive, appealing, but WRONG! Do the math. If the ball costs 0.10 ...read more

There is a rest that is known only when we learn to come to Christ and to take up His yoke.
REST Matthew 11:28-30 I love the “Peanuts” characters and comic strip, probably because I can so easily relate to Charlie Brown.

If Jesus loves me and if God has forgiven me, then why isn't this Christianity thing working out for me... where is the abundant life that Jesus promised? This message is about acknowledging this truth and finding our way into His REST.
Rest Matthew closes out the 11th chapter of his Gospel with these very familiar words. True words. God breathed words.
