Healthy Sabbatical Rhythms—by Paul Smith
February 13, 2023
Sermon summary:
As followers of Jesus, we need to find our identity in our relationship with God and not in what we do. To develop healthy sabbatical rhythms will take deliberate and intentional action on our part. We need time to find rest (following in Jesus's footsteps to find a solitary place to connect with God), reflect (meditate on his word), remember (the good God has done for us), rejoice (in his presence), and relate (use opportunities to connect with others).

In every major conflict, whether political, personal, or spiritual, there is almost always a sliver of validity on both sides. Grievances are real. Injustices are felt. Leaders on the “wrong” side can even articulate legitimate frustrations.
Worship nourishes the soul, centres us on Christ's sacrifice, and renews our identity in God through gratitude, surrender, and continuous remembrance.
