My Story in The Story, cont.

Join me as we take a sneak peek into an upcoming new series, The Story of the Sabbath.
This is a series I have been wanting to do for a long time because, for one, I just don't see anyone else out there doing this work on the importance of the biblical Sabbath, besides in books. Important and very good books that I will draw from for this series.
I'll use the structure of story as I have been talking about to help make this more than a recitation of data. And, some of the topics we'll be looking at through the series:

• Why true worship is the underlying and not-so-subtle theme of the Bible for God’s people
• The origins of the Sabbath
• How its meaning gets carried through the Old Testament
• The Sabbath at the time of Christ (how it got so encrusted)
• What was he pushing back on? (Hint: not the true Sabbath!)
• The Sabbath at the time of the apostolic church (book of Acts, John’s writings)
• After the canon: Why no case was made for the Sabbath while the NT was being written.
• From Sabbath to Sunday: How it changed and why.
• A case for a call back to the biblical Sabbath
• The Sabbath and last day implications: worship and priorties
• The mark of the beast
• Economic pressures for God’s people
• The eternal Sabbath and Sabbath in eternity
• Jesus’ rest and the Sabbath rest — the gospel’s promise
• My own experience with the Sabbath

I'm looking forward to learning together!
