Sabbath is demonstrated from the very beginning of the world. But sabbath is not about stopping productivity - it’s about stopping to remember who really sustains our lives. Sabbath is the resistance against hurry and trust in God’s provision.

Reading: Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 20:8-11

Discussion Questions:

The sermon suggested that hurry is often driven by fear. How does it practically show up in your schedule or pace of life?
Read Hebrews 4:9–11 aloud as a group. Why do you think the author says we must “make every effort” to enter rest? How does this challenge the way you usually think about rest?
The sermon described Sabbath not just as rest, but as resistance against a culture of more, faster, and never enough. What would it look like in your life for Sabbath to be an act of resistance rather than just a day off?
If Sabbath is a gift we often miss because it requires planning and discipline, what is one realistic change you could make to begin moving toward a true Sabbath rhythm (even if it’s just 12 hours)? What might you need to say “no” to in order to say “yes” to rest?
