Sam 46:10

Because attendance typically surges on the Sunday that Christians celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection, Easter weekend represents one of the most rewarding — and challenging — times of the year for church leaders. We created this audio YouVersion Rest Plan to help church staff celebrate all that God did, rest from the work that went into preparing and executing, and reset for the ministry still to come.

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.

În timp ce ne gândim la starea lumii în care trăim, unde războaiele și conflictele par să domine fiecare canal de știri, dezastrele naturale afectează oamenii la nivel global și unde relațiile rupte sunt comune în cadrul comunităților, aruncăm o privire la Psalmul 46, care ne dă încrederea că Dumnezeu este temelia de neclintit în orice circumstanță. Noi ne schimbăm, situațiile noastre se schimbă, dar Dumnezeul nostru - niciodată.

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but also very busy.  Come away for a few moments of rest and worship that will sustain you throughout the merry labors of the season. Based on the book Unwrapping the Names of Jesus: An Advent Devotional , this 5-day devotional reading plan will guide you to receive Jesus’ rest this Christmas by taking moments to remember His goodness, express your neediness, seek His stillness, and trust His faithfulness.
