Sabbath | Spiritual Habits | Week 4

What if the reason you can’t slow down isn’t your schedule—but your identity? In this message, Cy Calhoun explores the paradox at the heart of rest: How do we “do the work of not doing”? In a culture that equates worth with productivity, stopping can feel like failure. But Scripture reveals that Sabbath is more than a break from work—it’s a declaration of who we are and who God is. Looking at Deuteronomy 5, Psalm 127, Colossians 2, and Matthew 11, this sermon unpacks how Sabbath reminds us that our value isn’t earned, God is in control, and true rest is ultimately found in Jesus. The Sabbath was always a shadow pointing to Christ—the One who declared, “It is finished.” If you’re exhausted from striving, proving, and carrying burdens you were never meant to hold, this message is an invitation to deeper rest for your soul.
