Tabor Church

Sometimes I think reality television would have been a huge hit in the Old Testament era. People watch because all the drama and the Father's of the faith in the OT had plenty of drama. Some of it seems sensationalized but wait it is playing out in real families. Genesis 27- Isaac is going to give his oldest son the blessing and yet the younger son steals it. Dum dum dum...

The title is meant to be very literal but also very metaphorical. Colossians 3 gives us a picture of the things we need to take off and the things we need to put on. We are spending time on introspection of the church. We need to evaluate ourselves and our motivations. Repentance and Forgiveness should be a big part of that. The church should be practicing reconciliation.

Today we have another random generated verses- 1 John 5:1. John takes us back to his Gospel a bit with the terminology. When we believe (which is more than just knowledge of) that Jesus is the Christ...we are born of God. This will lead us to understand the second part of the verse more in depth.

Today we are taking a moment to look at 2 Timothy 3:16-17. God breathed, God breathed into the writers of the Scriptures. God inspired. We'll also see that the verse shows us it is useful and equips us all for the work ahead of us. What would you like for us to tackle next? Is there a topic you would like me to cover?

Today I hit a random verse generator to see what the topic was going to be...Psalm 23:4. This is a familiar verse even for people who are not regular church attenders because everyone goes to funerals/memorials and this verse is often used. So I am going to break the verse down and speak about all the gold found here.

Today on the calendar you may notice the Festival day of Yom Kippur. We are going to discover what that means so that we can understand the importance of the day. We will also do some New Testament connections from an Old Testament practice. Hope you enjoy the connections.

We are going to close the mini series on Sabbath Rest with one more Biblical passage. It brings in busyness and the need to do more. Mark 6:30-34 is the passage we will look at and see what it adds to our conversation about Sabbath Rest.

Usually I start with or put it towards the beginning...but the science of the body tells us what God first established. Rest is good for the physical body. I'll highlight the ways that rest is good for our bodies. I also pose the question for you all- What practices of rest do you incorporate? What can you teach about this topic? Please comment below.

I know that I talked about silence and solitude probably a year ago when we were going over spiritual disciplines...well here is some more talk about it. I go over a practice here for you to try out this week. I have tried it and will continue to practice this and see what happens. Give it a try!

Yesterday we talked about rest taking discipline. You will absolutely need discipline to carry out any of these practices. I took a little bit longer to go through six different ideas for rest. Let me know if there are ones here that you want me to go through in more detail. Rest is good and good for you...it's time to practice it.
