The Sabbath

In this episode from HMS Richards Adventist School, the hosts explore the beauty and meaning of the Sabbath—a day God set aside for rest, worship, and connection. Rooted in passages like Exodus 20:8 and Genesis 2:3, the Sabbath is celebrated from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, just as God designed at Creation.The episode shares the story of Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath (Luke 6:6–10), showing that doing good and helping others is not only allowed but encouraged. The hosts talk about what it looks like to keep the Sabbath holy today: stepping away from regular work, gathering for worship, spending meaningful time with family, enjoying nature, and serving others with kindness. They also explain that some work—like caring for the sick—is necessary and compassionate, even on the Sabbath.Listeners will hear why Saturday is observed as the biblical Sabbath and how Sunday worship developed later through historical and cultural shifts. While we’re called to worship God every day, the Sabbath offers a special weekly opportunity to slow down, refocus, and reconnect with God and one another.For those wanting to dig deeper into this topic, the episode points to helpful Bible study resources at campion.church, information about HMS Richards School at hmsrichards.com, and the option to text “Bible” to 970‑440‑1604.
