Resting For Greatness Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 1, 2024

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. On the Sabbath, Jews would worship God, spend time with their families. And… essentially, they did little else. The Sabbath was a DAY OF REST. In fact, ...read more

We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 28, 2023
