Скачать или смотреть The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: Sabbath

Feeling drained, stretched thin, or like life won’t slow down?
Jesus offers a gift that feels almost too good to be true: Sabbath—real rest for real people.

In this message from our Ruthless Elimination of Hurry series, we explore the practice of Sabbath as a God-designed rhythm woven into creation itself (Genesis 2) and reinforced as a priority in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20). Sabbath isn’t about legalism or doing it “perfectly.” It’s about learning to stop, rest, delight, and worship—and letting God restore what the week has worn down.

You’ll hear Sabbath described in a surprisingly relatable way: like a “snow day” for your soul—permission to pause, breathe, and remember that God is God… and you don’t have to hold the whole world together.

In this teaching, we cover:

Why Sabbath is a gift, not a burden (Mark 2:27)

The “six-and-one” rhythm built into creation (Genesis 2)

The four building blocks of Sabbath: Stop • Rest • Delight • Worship

Why Sabbath is ultimately about trust (and not productivity)

How Sabbath gives us hope—an echo of the eternal rest to come
