Rhythms of Rest

Pastor Tony Stewart

July 9, 2023 • Pastor Tony Stewart • Matthew 11:28–30, Genesis 1:1–3, Genesis 1:31, Genesis 2:1–3

We all need seasons of "Selah"- time to pause and reflect on God, who He is, what He is doing in our lives, and who we are in Him. In today's message, we learn all about the rhythms of rest God established for us from the beginning of time. When we learn to follow God's rhythm of rest in our lives, we find ourselves walking in the rhythm of God's grace.

Invitation to Rest

July 30, 2023 • Pastor Kaci Stewart • Exodus 31:17, Leviticus 23:1–3, John 15:15

Rest carries great risk and great reward. Rest is your responsibility. Pastor Kaci's message challenges us to set aside the time and the place to be with God and Him alone. To find that rest and to sample what is life-giving. To sit in Silence.

The Fruit of Rest

July 23, 2023 • Pastor Tony Stewart • John 15:1–12, Psalm 63:8, Psalm 23, Matthew 11:28–30

There is abundance in rest. If you stay connected to God, you will bear fruit, but you have to walk through seasons of pruning. Today's message teaches that pruning only happens in the resting, not the running.

Surrendering to Rest

July 16, 2023 • Pastor Jason Bonilla • Matthew 11:28–30, Genesis 2:1–3, Psalm 116:7–9, Mark 6:31

In week 2 of our Selah series, Pastor Jason talks about what it means to Surrender to Rest through rejoicing, examination, silence, and in trust. We learn that Jesus gives us three instructions that teach us how to surrender to rest in Him because when we rest, it provides fine-tuning for hearing God’s messages amidst the static of life.
