Matthäus 12:11

“Our hearts are restless till they find their rest in Thee.” Never before have so many of us felt the restlessness Augustine described with this famous sentence. But what is the solution to our lack of true rest? As this three day plan will show, the solution partially lies in viewing the ancient practice of Sabbath through a different lens—through the lens of “Thee”—Jesus—our ultimate source of peace.

Most of us are overworked and utterly exhausted, so the concept of Sabbath could not be more important. To honor the Sabbath means to “keep it holy,” and holy simply means “set apart.” Our Sabbath should look different than the other six days of our week. In this Plan, we’ll discuss what it is, what it isn’t, how it looks today, and finding our true rest in Jesus.

What if we don’t have to wait until we’re at our breaking point to address what’s broken in our lives? Just as we invest in cleaning our homes, it’s time to invite the Holy Spirit to deep clean our hearts. In this 7-day Bible Plan, we’ll discover how to let go of the emotional baggage that holds us back and weighs us down.
