sabbath so far...

Sabbath so far …


The Sabbath is a gift from God to man and never intended to be a burden.


People have a tendency to overwork and often go too fast through life. This “busyness” often results in spiritual emptiness. The Sabbath is a way to re fuel and re align what really matters.


Colossians 2:16-17 does not seem to “do away” with the Sabbath, but redefine it in terms of how it relates to Christ.



People stumble over the word “Sabbath” and there are many misconceptions about our relation to it.

5. We need to exhort our congregation to examine the scriptures and follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit when it comes to Sabbath observance. ( We cannot publish a list of rules or restrictions concerning this day because that would put us in league with the Pharisees … who were condemned by Jesus for their erroneous attitude about the day.)
