It is important to find a good rhythm of work, rest and play in our lives. Sabbath is a vision and the goal of creation. In it we rediscover our place within the Lord and within the universe.

We are rejuvenated. And these kinds of shapings are really powerful in our lives. We look toward the Scripture in Exodus 20:8-11 to read about Sabbath and Pastor Steve remarks on this commandment and these values.
