The guys hosted a ZOOM Q & A on the opening message of our new sermons series "Finally at Rest". You can check out the message "Pre-Sabbath Routine" here: LINK

1:50 What do you think of when you hear the word "rest"?

5:24 What are some of the things that prevent you from rest?

8:56 Why do we go to the creation narrative to talk about work, rest, and Sabbath?

12:24 How does the biblical definition of work, rest, and Sabbath push against our cultural definition/ norms?

15:45 How do the realities presented in the creation impact our kids, church, and culture?

21:06 Do we get to define rest for ourselves even if it appears to be work to someone else?

24:08 Is the idea that the harder you work the harder rest or should we think about rest differently?

26:46 Is rest something we should program and plan for?

33:32 Is it a mistake to view rest as some preventative mental care to keep us from burning out?

36:44 How do you as pastors practice rest personally?

45:17 How do we demonstrate rest in this culture of chaos? What qualities might manifest that would make a difference to the unbelieving world?

54:05 Should we consider every moment of burnout in our lives as an indicator that we are not resting well?

1:01:00 Do think working too hard or too much is our attempt to control more than we are supposed to?

1:06:29 Pastor Thomas gives a final encouragement.

1:07:28 Do you think Sabbath will be tied into the Easter message?
