Rediscovering the Sacred Rhythm of Sabbath: More Than Just a Day Off

In our fast-paced world, the concept of Sabbath often gets reduced to a mere day off - a time to catch up on chores, run errands, or binge-watch our favorite shows. But what if there's more to Sabbath than just a break from our regular routine? What if it's an invitation to something deeper, more transformative, and ultimately more life-giving?

The biblical concept of Sabbath is rooted in the very act of creation. In Genesis 2:2-3, we read: "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done."
