Work and Rest: A Biblical Balance

from Contending for the Word Q&A · host Dave Jenkins

In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins answers the question: How should Christians think biblically about work and rest? Scripture teaches that work is part of God's good design and that rest is a gift rooted in trust in Him. When rightly understood, both work and rest serve God's purposes in the Christian life. This episode explores how believers can avoid both burnout and idleness by embracing a biblical rhythm grounded in God's Word and ultimately fulfilled in Christ. Key Scriptures: • Genesis 2:1–3 • Colossians 3:23–24 • Matthew 11:28–30 For more from Contending for the Word Q&A, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-qa/
