Listen "25: Should Christians Take Sabbath?"

Episode Synopsis

Welcome to episode 25, friends! In this week's episode, Jess and Bella chat about what Sabbath (or Shabbat in Hebrew) means and if Christians should partake in it? We explore what the Bible says that the Sabbath is and how as New Testament Christians, what it means for us today. We talk about our experiences taking Sabbath and how it has changed the way we live for the better. Our hope that if you are not practising Sabbath as a Christian, that you would consider it (not in a legalistic way, but from a desire to receive it as a gift from God).
