Episode 70: The Gift of Sabbath Rest, Part 2--Jesus and Sabbath

As their exploration of the biblical concept of sabbath continues, pastors Erica and Steve continue to look at how the day of rest appears in the Scriptures and in our lives.  Despite the fact that Jesus regularly got into trouble with the Respectable Religious Crowd for breaking the rules about sabbath, Jesus doesn't seem anti-sabbath, so much as he is convinced that sabbath was always about giving life and saving life.  How do twenty-first century people think about sabbath in a world that keeps moving at a breakneck pace, and which has needs for some things to be open all the time--like hospitals and police?  What does sabbath look like for us in a culture that is always beating the drum to earn more, produce more, and make more money, rather than to rest?  Join us for the ongoing conversation about how sabbath can be a gift of life for us, even if it takes different forms and expressions on our calendars.
