Episode 69: We Are Rechargeable! (The Gift of Sabbath Rest, Part 1)

Pastors Erica and Steve take a look at the Scriptural roots of the practice of "Sabbath," tracing the rhythm of work and rest, labor and play, through the Scriptures, from creation through the exodus from Pharaoh's Egypt to the intended practice of Sabbath in the time of Old Testament Israel.  Why do we need periods of rest, and who is this rest for?  Are we supposed to do something "religious" with our Sabbath rest?  And how might sabbath be a gift, not just for "me," but for all the people around me, too, when they are given permission to rest?  In a new series of conversations, these two pastors explore the Old Testament roots of sabbath and what it means for people today in a world that keeps moving at breakneck speed.
