Sabbath & The Wilderness

Message audio from March 14, 2021 entitled "Sabbath & The Wilderness" from Frankie Johnson

The word 'rest' has association with relaxation or an escape from trials/trouble. But God's rest is a concept that runs far deeper and is something that cannot be achieved by our own effort. God promises this deep spiritual rest for those that obey Him — but it often looks different than we expect.

Using the Israelites journey in the wilderness, Frankie shares that our focus on the tangible provisions of God can blind us to the vision and rest He wants for us in the midst of even overwhelming circumstances.

Our stubbornness in seeking rest on our terms prevents us from trusting God as our shepherd and provider. When we repent of our mistrust and disobedience, God offers a rest that is without end no matter how good or bad our life may look.
