Psalms 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.

Когда мы размышляем о состоянии мира, в котором мы живем, где войны и конфликты, кажется, преобладают на каждом новостном канале, стихийные бедствия влияют на людей во всем мире, а разрушенные отношения являются обычным явлением в сообществах, мы обращаемся к 45-му Псалму, который дает нам уверенность в том, что Бог является непоколебимым основанием в любых обстоятельствах. Мы меняемся, наши обстоятельства меняются, но наш Бог не меняется.

‘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.
