The Rest of God

41 minutes

BONUS EPISODE: Rest of God Sermon

"Biblical rest is not about relaxation. It is about releasing everything over to God. When we come to Jesus, he gives us the supernatural ability to let go of everything we carry as we receive from him everything we need."

There is often confusion between relaxation and rest. Many who solely seek relaxation in an evening, on the weekend, or over a break, wonder by the end why they are more tired than when they started. Relaxation has its place, but it's different than Biblical rest.

Here is a message Derek gave recently about God's invitation for us to enter more fully into the rest God offers. By entering more fully into the rest of God, we experience more deeply the rest of God, the aspects of God that can only be received when striving ceases. So take a listen and reflect on what it looks like for you today to enter into the rest of God.
