Healthy Sabbatical Rhythms—by Paul Smith

February 13, 2023

Sermon summary:

As followers of Jesus, we need to find our identity in our relationship with God and not in what we do. To develop healthy sabbatical rhythms will take deliberate and intentional action on our part. We need time to find rest (following in Jesus's footsteps to find a solitary place to connect with God), reflect (meditate on his word), remember (the good God has done for us), rejoice (in his presence), and relate (use opportunities to connect with others).

Words have the power to build up or break down. Speak with grace, avoid double-speak, and use words that reflect love, especially with our children.

God made us in His image to reflect his character. He loves us freely and calls us to walk in his presence and live in the freedom of forgiveness.

Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.
