    A closer look at the observance of the Sabbath

    Weekend Message/Devotion June 3, 2018 Mark 2:23-3:6 Keeping the Sabbath Holy “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Exodus 20:8 This is a subject that always brings out responses from extreme legalism to extreme liberal interpretation. “And He said to them, ‘The Sabbath was made for ...read more

    Sometimes we are so busy we simply do not find the time to slow down, pause, or stop long enough to rest and listen to God. Yet, since time began, God has offered us all the opportunity to rest.

    We continue in our series on Hope Found Here and this month we are thinking about ‘Hope in the calming presence of God’ or to put it another way, knowing how to rest and relax in God. The question I want to address this evening is "Do we understand what it means to rest in God?" We live in a fast ...read more

    A perspective on Luke 13: 10-17. Today, wherever you find Jesus in the life of his disciples, there you will find that the people are delighted with all the wonderful things done in his name.

    Luke 13: 10-17 Jesus, Lord of the Sabbath The crippled woman was one of many on a long list of people that Jesus had healed during his ministry on earth. The text is more than just a reminder of Jesus’ divine ability to heal and his compassion towards all people. There are signals and ...read more

    A woman had suffered 18 years but never got well. She came to a synagogue and found Jesus there. What happened next shows the Lord's true compassion for both men and women alike.

    Text: Luke 13:10-17, KJV 10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. 11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up [herself]. 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called [her to him], and said unto ...read more

    The Spirit Of The Sabbath Year Series

    Let’s explore the spirit of the laws of land rest and jubilee found in the Old Testament. These are laws that even good Christians will object to, because we are too selfish to even contemplate them.

    Let’s explore the spirit of the laws of land rest and jubilee found in the Old Testament. These are laws that even good Christians will object to, because we are too selfish to even contemplate them.

    Remember The Sabbath Day Series

     | 2,621 views

    The Sabbath cannot be found on any calendar! It is one day out of every seven days that we are to rest from our work. The argument of the Sabbath being Saturday or Sunday is nothing more than an exercise in futility!

    The Ten Commandments are the foundation of God's Law. I say that because the Bible indicates more than just these ten. Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the ...read more

    Getting The Sabbath Right Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Jan 29, 2021
     | 3,129 views

    Practicing the Sabbath religiously is still something that is common in certain faith families, but I think mostly we ignore the idea. Getting the Sabbath right is essential for our mental, spiritual, and physical well being.

    Getting the Sabbath Right     Luke 6:1-11 Introduction As a young Christian I was taught that all of the Ten Commands had been repeated and taught by Jesus - except one. Keeping the Sabbath day holy. When I preached out in the country during my Bible college days I ...read more

    This sermon takes a careful and honest look at what the Fourth Commandment is saying to Christians today. Does there still remain a " Sabbath rest for the people of God."?

    NOTE TO READER: **There is a fairly brief, yet somewhat in-depth fill-in-the-blank Bible study immediately following this sermon. I included it in hopes that it may help fellow Christians who are not Sabbatarian to better understand some of this sermon's content. There is a statement in this ...read more

    It is good to give thanks to the LORD.

    A SONG FOR THE SABBATH DAY. Psalm 92:1-4, Psalm 92:12-15. We open with the declaration, “It is good to give thanks to the LORD” (Psalm 92:1a). Perhaps our prayers are too often loaded down with petitions: but we should be thanking God for past benefits, even as we make our requests known to ...read more

    Jesus offers true rest and mercy, reminding us that God’s compassion outweighs rigid rules and that Sabbath is a gift meant to restore weary souls.

    Good morning, dear friends. Some weeks feel like a blur of alarms, appointments, and a to-do list that never seems to take a breath. Yet here you are—hungry for more than hurry, ready for more than noise. Your soul is smart; it knows when it’s thirsty. It senses a Sabbath-shaped space that work ...read more

    Gentle Jesus Meek And Mild. You Have To Be Kidding!

    Many people think of Jesus being in the words of Charles' Wesley's carol. But he wasn't. He came to do the Father's will even if it ruffled feathers. And he may even set Father against Son, as I experienced myself

    You will probably recall that famous Anglican hymn writer Charles Wesley’s famous hymn that start with the words “Gentle Jesus meek and mild” You have to be kidding - as we see in the Gospel today!! Jesus is anything but gentle, meek and mild as our Gospel reading today shows Story: At the ...read more

    The analysis of Jesus healing a man with a withered hand on a Sabbath will show us that works of mercy are appropriate on the Lord's Day.

    Scripture Jesus was frequently criticized during his ministry. The religious leaders of Jesus’ day criticized him because he did not conform to their understanding of God’s law. Things got so bad that they eventually looked for ways to catch Jesus doing something contrary to their ...read more

    Those who opposed Jesus were puzzled by His death and resurrection and ascension. It was hard for them to grasp its meaning and to believe in Him.

    We have been studying the reactions of the people to Jesus’ claims for the past 3 studies. Tonight we are going to look at a fourth reaction. The fourth reaction to Jesus’ claims comes from the religious and civil authorities. It paints a clear picture of men in every generation who ...read more
