    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?

    As believers we have entered into His rest by grace (peace with God) AND that we also must make every effort to obtain what God has already provided (peace of God)...

    “Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience” (Heb. 4:11). From God’s Word we learn that rest has several meanings: * The seventh day of creation and the weekly Sabbath celebrating it (Gen. 2:2; Heb. 4:4-9) * The ...read more

    Labor Day in the United States has traditionally been a day to cease from one’s labors and rest. God offers a lifetime of rest to all who will cease from their fleshly labors and enter His rest. Easier said than done! So, how is this possible?

    Dr. Lewis Gregory “For he that is entered into His rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from His” (Hebrews 4:10 AKJV). Introduction (personal testimony): Labor Day in the United States has traditionally been a day to cease from one’s labors and rest. God offers a lifetime of ...read more

    This sermon encourages us to navigate life's challenging paths with hope, make wise decisions, learn from our regrets, and find spiritual rest in God's guidance.

    Good morning, my dear friends. We're gathered here today with hearts full of hope. Hope, that is the very essence of our faith, isn't it? It's like what G.K. Chesterton once said, "Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all." And that's exactly what we're here to do ...read more

    God invites weary hearts to leave the world’s restless search for the new and return to Christ, the old path of rest.

    We live in an age enamored by the new. New technology. New methods. New philosophies. New spiritual voices. New versions of truth. Everything must be updated, rebranded, optimized, improved.

    Paul concludes chapter 11 explaining that God has not given up on the people of Israel by revealing the mystery that "all Israel will be saved." The thought that God's plan includes mercy for Jews and Gentiles propels Paul into a majestic doxology about the glory of God.

    A. I used to love listening to Paul Harvey’s “The Rest of the Story” radio broadcasts. 1. The short radio segments consisted of stories presented as little-known or forgotten facts on a variety of subjects with some key element of the story (usually the name of some well-known person) held back ...read more

    We have been speaking about being a church on mission and what that means. The church was not created to be inward-focused or static. God did not create the church to be a place for people to attend, to hear His Word and then go back home or to work and leave the gifts and talents He has given us ...read more
