Abraham Heschel writes this:

“The Sabbath is the presence of God in the world, open to the soul of man.” God is not in things of space, but in moments of time.”

Sabbath is a very elusive practice in the way of Jesus. Some think it’s no longer a part of the life of a follower of Jesus and others see it in legalistic terms.

Which is it?

John Mark Comer writes this in his book “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry”:

That’s why Sabbath is an expression of faith. Faith that there is a Creator and he’s good. We are his creation. This is his world. We live under his roof, drink his water, eat his food, breathe his oxygen. So on the Sabbath, we don’t just take a day off from work; we take a day off from toil. We give him all our fear and anxiety and stress and worry. We let go. We stop ruling and subduing, and we just be. We “remember” our place in the universe. So that we never forget . . . There is a God, and I’m not him.

Our goal in this workshop is to explore the practice from ancient and new perspectives and to give practical teaching on how to make sabbath a regular pattern in your life.
