Series: Reframing Rest
Speaker: Pastor James Gallaher
In This Episode:
What if rest isn’t just for recovery—but for remembering?
In Part 2 of Reframing Rest, Pastor Dennis takes us deeper into the biblical concept of Sabbath—not as a break from life, but as a bold resistance to the world’s lies. In a culture obsessed with hustle, status, and distraction, Sabbath realigns our hearts with God’s truth.
Through Scripture and soul-searching questions, this episode explores how Sabbath reveals what we’ve forgotten: that our identity, value, and peace come not from what we do, but from who God is.
📌 Key Points:
- Sabbath is spiritual resistance against hustle, consumerism, and self-reliance.
- Rest is remembrance. God calls us to stop so we can remember what’s true.
- Our desires are shaped by what we continually consume—rest re-centers them on God.
- Sabbath is a weekly invitation to live as people set apart, not driven by culture’s demands.
- It’s not about doing nothing. It’s about doing what restores your soul in God’s presence.
📖 Key Scriptures:
- Exodus 20:8–11 – “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy…”
- Deuteronomy 5:15 – “Remember that you were slaves in Egypt…”
- Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform to the pattern of this world…”
- Matthew 11:28–30 – “Come to Me… and I will give you rest.”
- Psalm 23:1–3 – “He makes me lie down… He restores my soul.”
