التكوين 3:2

“Our hearts are restless till they find their rest in Thee.” Never before have so many of us felt the restlessness Augustine described with this famous sentence. But what is the solution to our lack of true rest? As this three day plan will show, the solution partially lies in viewing the ancient practice of Sabbath through a different lens—through the lens of “Thee”—Jesus—our ultimate source of peace.

Because attendance typically surges on the Sunday that Christians celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection, Easter weekend represents one of the most rewarding — and challenging — times of the year for church leaders. We created this audio YouVersion Rest Plan to help church staff celebrate all that God did, rest from the work that went into preparing and executing, and reset for the ministry still to come.

Most of us are overworked and utterly exhausted, so the concept of Sabbath could not be more important. To honor the Sabbath means to “keep it holy,” and holy simply means “set apart.” Our Sabbath should look different than the other six days of our week. In this Plan, we’ll discuss what it is, what it isn’t, how it looks today, and finding our true rest in Jesus.

Werkverslawing en om gedurig besig te wees, word dikwels in ons wêreld aangeprys, wat rus dan 'n uitdaging maak. Om ons rolle en planne effektief uit te voer, moet ons rus of ons sal niks oorhê om geliefdes te ondersteun en doelwitte te bereik nie. Oor die volgende vyf dae gaan ons leer om te rus en hoe om dit op ons lewens toe te pas.
