Who Is on the Lord’s Side? The Sabbath, Consecration, and Choosing God Weekly

from Everyday Hallelujah · host Kelli Koopmans

I used to think the Sabbath was about restriction—what I couldn’t do, what I had to avoid, and a list of rules to follow.But as I’ve been studying Exodus, something deeper is unfolding.The Sabbath was never meant to be a checklist. It is a sign between God and His people—a weekly invitation to enter into His presence, remember who He is, and remember who we are to Him.In this episode, I walk through Exodus 31 and Exodus 32, where we see two powerful contrasts: the sacred sign of the Sabbath… and the story of the golden calf. One is about covenant. The other is about substitution—what we turn to when we forget God.I share personal reflections on modern “golden calves,” and how easily we can replace God with comfort, distraction, identity, or control.We also explore:What consecration actually meansWhy Moses’ words “Who is on the Lord’s side?” still matter todayHow Doctrine and Covenants 59 reframes Sabbath restPresident Nelson’s teaching on the Sabbath as a “sign”And what it really means to “enter into the rest of the Lord”Follow along using the transcript.The Sabbath is not just a day off.It is a day set apart for life, connection, peace, and returning to God.And maybe the real question isn’t: Did I keep the Sabbath right?But: Did I choose Him again?#SabbathDay #ComeFollowMe #ChristianPodcast #LDSPodcast #FaithJourney #BiblicalStudy #ExodusStudy #Consecration #SpiritualGrowth #JesusChrist #FaithOverFear #SabbathRest #ScriptureStudy #ChristianWomen #RestInChrist #EverydayHallelujah #SpiritualLife #WalkWithGod #BibleStudyPodcast #ChooseChrist
