About this episode

This episode discusses the concept of Sabbath rest and the challenges associated with it.

Life Group Questions 1. What was the single hardest thing you heard in the teaching? Are you willing to obey it anyway? 2. Which day of the week is your Sabbath? What do you do to protect it? If your answer is that you don’t have one or that you don’t protect it, what are you going to do about that? 3. Three problems were named for why we don’t rest: too driven (can't stop), too busy (won't stop), and wrong rest (escaping instead of restoring). Which one is yours? Explain. 4. The teaching on commerce was provocative — no shopping, no restaurants, no gym, no transactions. What was your gut reaction? Has it changed? What's one transaction you could realistically eliminate this Sunday? 5. The Sabbath robe has four threads: Stop, Rest, Gather, Delight. What stood out to you about any of these?
