A Rhythm for Rest

Is your life running on empty?
Jesus offers a better way—not more hustle, but a rhythm for rest.

In Week 3 of our Remain series, we talk about Sabbath as a practice that helps us stay connected to Jesus so we can bear lasting fruit. Culture says the secret to producing is doing more. Jesus shows us the secret to fruitfulness is learning how to pause—and remain.

In this message, Brad walks through what the Sabbath is, why God built it into creation, and how it becomes a gift (not a rule) that restores your soul. Sabbath is about resting and remembering, enjoying life, and mirroring God’s rhythm—so you’re not driven by pressure, burnout, or the spirit of “more.” You’ll also hear practical guidance for choosing a day, building a simple plan, and avoiding legalism.

If you’re tired, stressed, overwhelmed, or constantly “on,” this message is an invitation to come to Jesus—and find rest for your soul.
