God is resting. What are we doing? Why?
This Sunday we start another installment in our Spiritual Formation sermon series. Last Spring we explored the formative practice of generosity and now we turn to the active practice of rest.
Formed by Rest: Finding true rest in a culture of exhaustion
God’s word tells us that he is transforming us, conforming us to the image Christ. He does this by the work of his Spirit and guarantees to complete the work he has started. God also calls us to participate in this work by giving ourselves to certain practices; practices that have shaped his people for countless generations. Over the next weeks we will focus on the spiritual practice of Sabbath rest.
Tired? Restless? Exhausted? God has so much to offer us. This weekend consider reading all of Genesis chapter 1 through to Genesis 2:3. God rested. Consider that. God rested. Do you hear the invitation?
I can’t wait to worship with you all.
Pastor David
