Join me as we take a sneak peek into an upcoming new series, The Story of the Sabbath

This is a series I have been wanting to do for a long time because, for one, I just don't see anyone else out there doing this work on the importance of the biblical Sabbath, besides in books. Important and very good books that I will draw from for this series.

I'll use the structure of story as I have been talking about to help make this more than a recitation of data. And, some of the topics we'll be looking at through the series:

  • Why true worship is the underlying and not-so-subtle theme of the Bible for God’s people
  • The origins of the Sabbath
  • How its meaning gets carried through the Old Testament
  • The Sabbath at the time of Christ (how it got so encrusted)
  • What was he pushing back on? (Hint: not the true Sabbath!)
  • The Sabbath at the time of the apostolic church (book of Acts, John’s writings)
  • After the canon: Why no case was made for the Sabbath while the NT was being written.
  • From Sabbath to Sunday: How it changed and why.
  • A case for a call back to the biblical Sabbath
  • The Sabbath and last day implications: worship and priorties
  • The mark of the beast
  • Economic pressures for God’s people
  • The eternal Sabbath and Sabbath in eternity
  • Jesus’ rest and the Sabbath rest — the gospel’s promise
  • My own experience with the Sabbath

I'm looking forward to learning together!
