God's Rest

from Catalyst Church · host Matt Van Peursem | Lead Pastor

In our fast-paced world, true rest has become increasingly rare, yet it remains essential to our wellbeing. Biblical rest, or Sabbath, goes beyond physical relaxation to encompass a joyful, soul-refreshing experience. Many struggle with constant busyness, wearing it as a badge of honor while being enslaved to schedules and expectations. True rest reveals trust in God's sovereignty and acknowledges that we don't need to maintain constant control. By establishing regular rhythms of rest, we can find peace and reconnect with God's presence.
