Sabbath 04 - Worship

Sabbath 04 - Worship

In Sabbath Part 4 we look at how sabbath isn’t just a day to sleep in, relax, and do whatever brings you joy (it is, but it’s more): it’s a day to worship. As we reorient our entire life back to its centre in God we elevate the Sabbath from a restful, joyful day off to a holy day of worship and delight in God himself.

Sabbath 03 - Delight

Sabbath 03 - Delight

In Sabbath part 3 John Herron looks at the third movement of Sabbath– delight. Sorrow is inevitable in this life, but joy is not. In the Way of Jesus, joy is a gift, but it’s one that must be chosen and cultivated, day after day, as an act of apprenticeship to our joyful God.

Sabbath 02 - Rest

Sabbath 02 - Rest

In Sabbath part 2 Stephanie Wilson explores the second movement of Sabbath–to rest. The idea of rest sounds wonderful, but in reality, rest is a radical, countercultural act of resistance to the powers and principalities of a world at war with God and his kingdom of peace.

Sabbath 01 - Stop

Sabbath 01 - Stop

David Armstrong begins our series Practicing the Way with our first practice, Sabbath —  a day of rest by which we cultivate a spirit of restfulness in all of our life. In part 1 we examine how sabbath is, at its most basic, a call to stop, to cease, to be done.
