Listen "Sunday Sermon: Sabbath as Resistance"
Episode Synopsis
Last week, Pastor Courtnay kicked off our new sermon series, Sabbath Rest: Rejuvenation in the Spirit. She encouraged us to imagine how the sabbath becomes a way to attune our presence to the presence of the Living God. This morning, we'll wrestle with how God's commandment to observe sabbath rest is an act of resistance and even defiance in an anxious, capitalistic world. In the instruction to rest from our labor, God reorients us as beloved children and deepens our understanding of the work of faith.
