Sabbath Resources

Sabbath is practice takes some commitment. However, once established, the practice of Sabbath can serve as a soft place to land each week. If you’d like more resources on the practicality of “how”, the specificities of “why,” and the vision of “what for,” you are in the right place.

“That’s why Sabbath is an expression of faith. Faith that there is a Creator and he’s good. We are his creation. This is his world. We live under his roof, drink his water, eat his food, breathe his oxygen. So on the Sabbath, we don’t just take a day off from work; we take a day off from toil. We give him all our fear and anxiety and stress and worry. We let go. We stop ruling and subduing, and we just be. We “remember” our place in the universe. So that we never forget . . . There is a God, and I’m not him.”
— John Mark Comer, Garden City: Work, Rest, and the Art of Being Human.

  1. What is sabbath? A day for stopping, resting, delight, and worship.

  2. Make a plan! When will Sabbath begin? When will it end? This may take some preparation!

  3. Minimize input. Set boundaries on media.

  4. Worship. Plan a rhythm that encourages you to return to a worshipping posture throughout the day.
