The idea of "REST" sounds appealing, but in practice, it’s a radical, countercultural act of resistance against the powers and principalities of a world in conflict with God and His kingdom of peace. I believe the fourth commandment on keeping the Sabbath is both the most challenging and the most urgent in our society, which constantly drives us toward control, distraction, and self-sufficiency.

In today’s message, Pastor Ben will help us discover that true "REST" not only benefits our personal well-being but also nurtures our spiritual formation, drawing us deeper into our apprenticeship with Jesus.
