In this message, Pastor Les Cody delivers a powerful teaching on one of the Ten Commandments: “Keep the Sabbath Holy.” Drawing from Exodus 16:22–30, Pastor Les reveals that keeping the Sabbath is not a religious duty but a radical expression of love for God. He challenges believers to trust that the Lord can accomplish more in six days than we ever could in seven.

Pastor Les identifies four key challenges that war against true Sabbath rest. He reminds us that genuine rest is found only in the Lord. All other forms of rest, cannot compare to the deep spiritual renewal that comes from trusting in Him.

The Sabbath, Pastor Les teaches, is fundamentally about trusting the Lord’s provision and faithfulness. When we set aside time to rest in Him, we declare our dependence on His strength rather than our own. And as we do, He proves Himself faithful again and again.

To help believers embrace this rhythm of grace, Pastor Les offers three practical steps to prepare for the Sabbath, intentional ways to structure our time, hearts, and homes to honor the Lord. He concludes with a powerful reminder: true freedom is found in Sabbath rest, for when we reject the Sabbath, we are ultimately rejecting God’s design.
