Life on the West Side

The Habit of Sabbath

Nathan Guy Season 4 Episode 83

We heard Jesus and Paul rightly tell us the problem with legalistic prescriptions that made Sabbath day anything but honoring to God. But we failed to see the assumption lying behind Jesus (Matt 11:28-30), Paul (Acts 13, 17, 18), and Hebrews (4:9-11), that God-honoring people would value resting from work, to remember and honor God as the sole creator and sustainer of our lives.

The sermon today is titled "The Habit of Sabbath." It is the seventeenth installment in our series "Follow Me", and the fourth in the sub-series "Spiritual Habits." The Scripture reading is from Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on June 29, 2025. All lessons fit under one of 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under GROW: Spiritual Disciplines.
