Full Service | Lord of the Sabbath | Week 4

from Mountain City Church · host Pastor Ron Hoffman

Have you ever found yourself going through the motions of your Christian walk — checking boxes, following rules — only to feel more exhausted than fulfilled? In this message from Mark 2:23-28, we discover why Jesus confronted the Pharisees over a grain field — and what it reveals about how easily our faith can drift from relationship to religion. Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, reminds us that God's commands were never meant to weigh us down. They were designed to give us rest, restore our joy, and refocus our eyes on the people around us. If your faith has started to feel like a burden, this message is for you.CHAPTER REFERENCES:Mark 2:23-281 John 3:16-18James 2:15-17Genesis 2:1-3Exodus 20:8-111 Samuel 21
