When We Worship: Exodus 20:1-11 | Resting in the Work of Christ

In a culture driven by productivity and performance, the fourth commandment stands out as both a command and a gift. In this sermon from Exodus 20:8–11, Pastor Mark reflects on God’s call to Sabbath rest and how that rest finds its ultimate fulfillment in the finished work of Christ. The Sabbath is not merely a break from work—it is a day to worship, a day to rejoice in what God has done, and a weekly reminder that we are not defined by what we do, but by what has been done for us.

This message explores the shift from the seventh-day rest in the old covenant to the Lord’s Day in the new, where we begin our week resting in Christ's resurrection and then go forth to serve. Rather than working toward rest, Christians now work from rest—trusting in God’s providence, celebrating His grace, and finding true peace in His presence.
