"Rest, Rhythm, Sabbath, and Delight" - Jonny Ardavanis
We live in a culture that glorifies constant hustle, distraction, and exhaustion. But God’s Word offers a better way—a sacred rhythm of work and rest designed not just for survival, but for deep, soul-level flourishing.
In this sermon, we explore the biblical foundation for Sabbath and the kind of rest God invites us into—not just physical rest, but emotional, spiritual, and relational renewal. From Genesis to the Gospels, we see that rest isn’t optional or outdated; it’s a gift from a loving Father who knows our limits, our wanderings, our longings, and our noise-saturated lives.
This isn’t about legalism or checking a box. It’s about recovering what’s been lost in our modern pace of life: margin, wonder, delight, and worship. It’s about remembering who we are—and more importantly—who God is.
Whether you’re feeling burned out, distracted, or just tired of running on empty, this message offers a deeply encouraging and convicting reminder: God has created us not only to work with purpose but to rest with intention.
Watch now to rediscover the life-giving power of Sabbath and the joy of resting in the One who holds all things together.
📖: Genesis 2, Exodus 20, Mark 2:27, Ecclesiastes 9, Psalm 103, Hebrews 4, and Luke 5.
