The Gift of God’s Rest

The completion of creation and God’s rest.

by Pastor Jordan Johnson | Genesis 2:1-3

What is your historical understanding of the sabbath? If you grew up in a Christian home, what were you taught to believe about the sabbath? If you did not grow up in a Christian home, what did you think of the idea of the sabbath?
How does Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 2:1 serve as bookends to God’s power in the narrative?
How does the sabbath connect to the entirety of the Biblical Story?
What is the goal of sabbath? What day do you sabbath? What practices help you sabbath?
What situations in your life are contributing to a spirit of restlessness? How is Jesus our functional sabbath?
