HAMALIMON 26:13

Is “remember the Sabbath” a biblical suggestion that has fallen out of fashion or an inconvenient rule that gets in the way of a full life? Neither says musician and spiritual adviser Justin McRoberts. Instead, this five-day study of the Sabbath, excerpted from his book Sacred Strides, is an invitation to fully experience the Love of God in our work through our rest.

​We all have names we carry around with us. Some of them are wonderful: Friend or Loved One. We wear those names with pride. Other names, not so much. We’ve embraced names like: Not Enough, Unqualified, Damaged, Depressed, and Overwhelmed. We can trade in the names that have haunted us and held us back. Let's declare: My Name is Victorious!

Through the good news of the gospel of Christ Jesus, the past and present kingdom of God will find its final fulfilment in the promised kingdom of God in a renewed world at the end of human history.

Leviticus is the book most readers intend to read and the fewest finish. Where Exodus brings liberation, Leviticus stops the narrative and replaces it with instruction — sacrifice, purity codes, a holiness code covering everything from worship to wages. What looks like a detour is the Torah’s heart: the God who freed Israel now lives in the camp. How does a people that is not holy live in the presence of a God who is? Over seven days, this plan traces Leviticus’s answer — and finds it is less about burden than about grace.
