Sabbath: Learning to Stop and Trust God | Don’t Skip the Big Rocks 05

Sabbath: Learning to Stop and Trust God | Don’t Skip the Big Rocks 05

Author: Grace Church September 14, 2026 Duration: 38:45

We live in a world that constantly tells us to do more, achieve more, and keep going. But God created us with a different rhythm: work and rest.

In Week 5 of Don’t Skip the Big Rocks, we look at what the Bible really teaches about Sabbath. Sabbath is more than a rule or a day on the calendar—it is a gift that reminds us that God is in control, our value is not found in our productivity, and the work of Jesus is already finished.

What would it look like to regularly stop, rest, delight, and notice what God is doing?

Scriptures: Genesis 2:1–3, Deuteronomy 5:12–15, Colossians 2:16–17, Hebrews 4:9–11, Mark 2:27, Matthew 11:28–30
