Springfield First Church of the Nazarene Podcast

The Sabbath rhythm given to us by God involves not just resting on the 7th day of each week, but also in sanctifying the moments of each and every day as our focus should continually be on the Lord.

On this 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Scripture reminds us yet again that we can find rest and peace even when tried and tested in unimaginable ways.

A closer look at the 4th commandment highlights the absolute necessity for the people of God to cease from all labors on the Sabbath to rest and draw closer to the Lord.

When we serve the Lord, engage in spiritual warfare, and devote ourselves to the mission of God, it is essential we not bypass the rest and strengthening we need.

After a 13 week sabbatical, Pastor John talks about the necessity for all of us to find the rest that can only come about as we find rest in God.

While Pastor John is on sabbatical, our speaker this morning is Rev. Derek Kalkes. He has been a pastor in South Dakota and most recently in Eugene. Derek and Gail have been married since 1998 and they enjoy serving the Lord.
