Message: Walk With Jesus
Speaker: Tim Bounds
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
Sabbath becomes a decisive, concrete, visible way of opting for and aligning with the God of rest.
