Romans 6:1 poses the question "Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?". God's grace is abundant, so doesn't that mean that we should go on sinning so that's God's glory and grace may increase? Our high school pastor, Curtis Warren, and Pastor Wyatt talk about how this attitude toward God's grace is flawed and misunderstands the purpose of following Jesus and belonging to the Kingdom of God. The two then go on to share practical ways to follow Jesus closely, one of which is to practice Sabbath. Curtis and Wyatt explain the importance of Sabbath and the benefit of it for us right now especially while we live in a fast-paced media-centric world.
