Jesus and the Feasts: Sabbath

About this episode

Austin teaches about the significance of Sabbath as a rhythm for rest and reflection on God's faithfulness.

This Sunday, we had the privilege of having Austin back at TLC to teach us about Sabbath. Austin walked us through the idea of Sabbath, showing that it’s not just a rule but a rhythm designed to help us rest, trust God, and remember where we come from. A time to truly reflect on God’s faithfulness rather than rush through life. During our time together, Austin created space for reflection as we paused to sit with four intentional questions meant to guide us toward practicing Sabbath more meaningfully. He connected this to how easily we can forget what God has done and slip into living stressed, hurried, and self-reliant instead of grounded and grateful. There was also a strong reminder that the church is not built around personalities or hype, but on Jesus, and that shapes how we live and lead our lives. We hope you take time to slow down, rest in what God has done, and trust that He is still working right now. What will your Sabbath look like? __ Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9 & 10:45AM (EST). Decided to follow Jesus?
