The Bridge Austin

If you’re struggling to cram your busy schedule into each day, it may surprise you that finding time for rest is one of the most important things you can do to live a purpose-filled life. Naturalist Eryn Lynum shares how God has structured all of creation around the need for rest—Sabbath rest once a week and daily rest – to create margin in your overcrowded schedule. Eryn will help you to step away from information overload and stress to abide in Christ daily.

• Our responses

2. What does God expect from us?

How do we “work out” what God has “worked in”?

• The command: Be a grateful servant! -Philippians 2:14
• The purpose: Be a godly servant! -Philippians 2:15a
• The result: Be a bold servant! -Philippians 2:15b-16a
• The motive: Be a joyful servant! -Philippians 16b-18
