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).

God covers our shame with grace and righteousness, calling us to extend that same love, mercy, and practical care to the vulnerable and become agents of His covering.
A lesson about prayer, how our prayers come before God like bowls of incense.
Biblical justice calls us to more than punishment—it demands mercy, righteousness, and action. See others as loved by God and help the voiceless thrive.
