Community Bible Church

This Sunday (9am, 10:45am) we will continue our sermon series through the book of Exodus, Journey to Freedom.

This week Pastor Zach will be teaching through Exodus 20:8-11, Practicing Rest.

Sabbath rest.

If we had to guess God's ten biggest commandments to Israel, we probably wouldn't have included this one.

Work six days and rest on the seventh. Is that really such an important command?

But to a bunch of slaves leaving Egypt learning to reorient their entire lives around God's creation rhythm was vital. Slaves were not in control of their own time. Now, as God's freed people, they were. And how they lived their lives, day after day, week after week, year after year, was to be a sign to the rest of the world of who they were.

We will explore God's fourth commandment in more detail on Sunday and learn what it means to experience Christ's rest as God's redeemed people today.

May God refresh our hearts and reorient our lives as we learn to follow Him!
