In this final week of our series on Sabbath we explore the idea that, by practicing Sabbath we actively anticipate eternity with God by living out a foretaste of heaven on earth.

This week, we turn our attention towards the Sabbath principles of rest and delight. Through them, we'll see that Sabbath is so much more than an absence of work - it's an act of heavenly resistance.

This Sunday we begin a 3-week series exploring the ancient practice of Sabbath and its four movements: to STOP work, to REST in God's presence and provision, to DELIGHT in His goodness, and to WORSHIP Him through it all. In this first installment, we'll examine how the weekly choice to stop our work for 24 hours is an act of surrender to God and His wise design for flourishing.

In some ways, talking about staying spiritually encouraged seems self-indulgent. In others, it feels like the kind of thing that should come naturally to those of us following Jesus in this world. Both are traps designed to lure us away from the truth of Proverbs 4. When our hearts our strong, courageous, and encouraged, we live with passion and intentionality. But when we neglect our hearts and operate from a place of discouragement, we settle for just making it through the day. That's why this Take Heart series matters. That's why we're hoping you'll join us this Sunday!
