The Sabbath is perhaps the most misunderstood commandment. Far from an austere day of legalistic rules prohibiting your favorite activities, it’s an invitation to slow down and experience delight.

By walking the Sabbath way, we can receive the abundant life Jesus came to offer us.

Prayerfully, as we study Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:17-48, we will see how understanding His perfection helps us live lives that, though imperfect, stand out from the world and point other broken people to Him!
