March 2022 Reflections — Wednesday in the Word

I suspect many of you are convinced that Sabbath still means something today, but have no idea what it is. Sabbath is often the elephant in the room that everyone ignores because all of us handle it differently and none of us understand it.

What is the Sabbath? Why does God command it? Did Jesus change it? When do we get to enjoy it? And how can God justify resting when so much work remains to be done? We’ll tackle these questions in the April podcasts series: Sabbath: Why, how and when.

Welcome new listeners! I’m glad to have you along!
