Sabbath Worship Experience | "Sabbath and Jesus"

June 15, 2024 • Pastor Jonathan Henderson

In the last three weeks we have seen the significance the Sabbath was intended to serve in our lives as a memorial of creation, a day of rest and replenishment, and a day for special gatherings of community, friends, and family. Yet many Christians have asserted the Sabbath is no longer needed or required due to Jesus ministry, death and resurrection, citing Colossians 2:16, 17: " Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." This week we’ll study this passage and more, to discover if the Sabbath is indeed now expendable in Christ or. . . enhanced.

With establishing the Sabbath as a gift and holiday in celebration of His creation, after 400 hard years of slavery God must reestablish with Israel the Sabbath’s significance, not just as a day of rest for recognition, but as a necessary lawful day of rest and replenishment. Yet as much as we’ve come to understand these first primary purposes of the Sabbath, how did it become known as “the day of worship”? This week we answer that question, uncovering how and why worship plays a special part on this day of rest. Please join us for part three of our Sabbath series.

Sabbath Worship Experience | "Sabbath and Sin"

June 1, 2024 • Pastor Jonathan Henderson

Last week we discovered the original purpose of the seventh-day Sabbath (the very first holiday). It is a gift in celebration of God’s creation; a celebration of you. So how does the Sabbath go from being a gift to being a law etched in stone? This week we unpack the aftermath of the sin committed in Eden, and why after roughly 2500 years of human brokenness, the Sabbath must be reintroduced as law. Be certain to join us tomorrow for “Sabbath and Sin.”

Sabbath Worship Experience | "Sabbath and Creation"

May 25, 2024 • Pastor Jonathan Henderson

This week we began a new four-part series on the weekly Sabbath, looking at four distinct phases and functions that this holy day served in times past, and still serves today. This week in particular, we’ll explore God’s original purpose for the Sabbath, as discovered in the creation account in Genesis chapters one and two. What we’ll find will change the way you see the Sabbath. Don’t miss out!
