Isaiah 58:13-14 | "Delighting in the Sabbath"


Listen Later

Episode Title: Do you want to delight in God more?

Episode Description:
In Isaiah 58:13–14, God makes an incredible promise: that His people will delight in Him, be lifted up in their spiritual lives, and be deeply satisfied in His provision. But this promise doesn’t stand alone—it comes with a path.

In this sermon, we explore what it means to truly honor the Lord’s Day. What does it look like to stop trampling it? How can we learn to delight in it rather than endure it? And how does setting apart one day in seven actually lead us into deeper joy in God?

Far from being a burden, the Sabbath is a gift—a weekly invitation to rest, worship, and communion with God. And ultimately, it points us to Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Sabbath, in whom true rest and lasting delight are found.
