Flourish: Living In The Rhythm of God

What if the non-stop pace of modern life isn't just exhausting—what if it's keeping us from the freedom and blessing God designed for us?In this sermon on Exodus 20:8–11, Lead Pastor Neil McClendon continues through the Ten Commandments in the Flourish series by examining the fourth commandment: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." Pastor Neil explores how the Sabbath is not a legalistic burden or a passive timeout, but a God-given rhythm rooted in creation and redemption. Discover how resting on the seventh day reminds us that we are no longer slaves to work, performance, or self-reliance, and why Sabbath-keeping is a powerful declaration of trust in God's provision.In this episode, we cover:The Command to Remember: Why the Sabbath points back to both God resting in creation and God redeeming His people out of slavery.Sabbath as Freedom, Not Legalism: How Jesus reframed the Sabbath as a gift made for humanity's flourishing rather than a restrictive set of rules.Work as Responsibility, Not Salvation: Correcting the cultural lie that our worth is tied to non-stop labor and self-sufficiency.Practical Steps to Keep the Sabbath: What it means to work heartily during the week while setting apart a day dedicated to Godward rest and trust.Riding on the Heights of the Earth: Exploring Isaiah 58 to see the dynamic blessings God promises when we honor His day and rest in His care.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
