Redeeming Rest: Week Two

06/23/24 • 45 min

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the profound importance of rest in our spiritual lives. Drawing from Hebrews 3 and 4, we explore the concept of God's rest - not just physical relaxation, but a deep, spiritual peace that comes from trusting in Christ's finished work. We're cautioned against the dangers of unbelief and rebellion, which can harden our hearts and lead us away from God. The story of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land serves as a poignant reminder of how easily we can miss out on God's blessings when we fail to trust Him. The message challenges us to enter into God's rest by fully believing in His promises and ceasing from our own futile efforts to earn His favor.EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.

Redeeming Rest: Week One

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound connection between rest and spiritual overflow. The story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42 serves as a cornerstone, illustrating the importance of sitting at Jesus' feet and truly listening. We're encouraged to move beyond mere intellectual understanding to experiential knowledge of God's love. This rest isn't about inactivity, but about rejuvenation, renewal, and transformation of our minds. It's in this place of rest that we can hear God's heart for us, understand our true identity as His children, and receive His love. This message challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we like Martha, distracted by many things, or are we choosing the 'better part' like Mary?EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.

Redeeming Rest: Week Four

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the importance of rest in our spiritual journey. Jesus modeled rest for us, showing that it's not just a luxury, but a crucial part of living in rhythm with God. We're challenged to evaluate our lives and identify areas that have become unmanageable. The speaker emphasizes that God desires us to live in perfect peace, not constant busyness. By learning to hear God's voice, seek His direction, and rest in His presence, we can experience true spiritual rest. The story of Jesus calming the storm (Mark 4:35-41) illustrates how our faith in God's ability can bring peace amidst life's chaos. We're encouraged to start small in cultivating rest and to remember that nothing is too chaotic for Jesus to speak peace into.EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.
