Once a year, we pause our normal Sunday rhythm and step into the practice of Sabbath.
Choosing not to gather in person may feel unusual at first, but Sabbath is not about absence. It is about alignment. From the beginning, God built rest into the fabric of creation. After six days of work, He stopped, rested, and invited His people to do the same.
The word Sabbath simply means to stop. To cease. To be done.
On Sabbath Sunday, we are inviting our church family to slow down, breathe, and rest with God. This is not a Sunday off from faith. It is a chance to practice trust. Trust that God is at work even when we stop, and that our souls need rest just as much as our bodies.
For most Christians, Sabbath is practiced on Sunday. For others with nontraditional schedules, it may fall on a different day. However you observe it, Sabbath is about setting aside time to rest, delight, and reorient your life around God.
If a full day feels like too much, start where you are. Set aside a few hours. Turn off your phone. Create space. Simply stop.
Sabbath can look different for everyone. It may include a shared meal, prayer, reading Scripture, time with family or friends, a walk, a nap, or quiet reflection with God. This is not a checklist. It is an invitation. Choose one or two practices that fit your life and see what God does.
This Sabbath Sunday, we have selected a few past messages from our church that you can watch at home, on your own schedule, as part of your day of rest.
Our hope is that this day becomes a gift to you. A reset for your soul. A reminder that God is near, faithful, and worthy of your trust.
May the God of rest meet you with peace as you stop and rest in Him.
