The Problem of the Sabbath

The Problem of the Sabbath

Pastor Jack draws from Isaiah and Genesis to explore the often-misunderstood principle of the Sabbath. After a seven-week season away from ministry, he shares how God redefined the concept of Sabbath in his own life?not as a legalistic day of religious observance, but as a spiritual principle of resting from our own labors so the Lord can work in us what He desires. Pastor Jack teaches that Sabbath is God's gift to free us from the bondage of busyness and to remind us that we can never accomplish everything by our own hands.
