About This Sermon
On the weekend we celebrate national freedom, Clay Thornton turns to the Sabbath Scriptures (Exodus 20, Deuteronomy 5, and Hebrews 4) to recover the beauty and wisdom of a command we often dismiss as "no longer for us." He points past the rule to a deeper rest — the invitation to stop measuring ourselves by our own accomplishments and to trust the God who is in control. Rooted in Israel's rescue from Egypt, the Sabbath still points forward to the greater rest that awaits God's people. A message about laying down our hurry and anxiety to rest in God's faithful character.
