60% of U.S. adults say they feel more tired now than they’ve ever been. --- OnePoll Research Firm
58% of people said that feeling tired keeps them from enjoying life, and 33% of people "always" or "often" still feel tired even after a good night's sleep. --- Talker Research Firm

Why is this happening? Why do we wear busyness as a badge of honor - yet constantly talk about how much we need a break - and how tired we are – even though it’s keeping us from enjoying life? And when we do get a break - a vacation, an extended weekend, or just a good night’s sleep – we’re not receiving the rest we truly need to be filled back up. We’re not living in the rhythm of rest that God intended.

Could it be that we need to reframe rest? That maybe there is a rest God wants us to have and to live in that we are missing out on in our busy, hurried, fast-paced, and tired lives? In this message, Pastor Jeff Maness explains that the Sabbath is more than a specific day you must observe, it is a way of life you get to practice, a gift from God.
