Ten // Remember the Sabbath

The fourth commandment in our Ten series is to “remember the Sabbath.” God gave the Israelites a weekly reminder of their dependence on God. Pastor Rob challenges us all to dedicate one day of the week to rest. In American culture, the idea of taking a Sabbath is so foreign because even when we do have a day off, there’s a nagging feeling that we ought to do something productive. But what this commandment teaches us is that the Sabbath is an invitation to allow God to provide what you could produce but choose not to. Ultimately, our strength comes not from how hard we work but from how well we rest.
