Why We Can't Stop Working (and How Sabbath Sets Us Free)

Paul D. Anderson

You can't stop working. Something won't let you rest.

The Book of Exodus names that "something" - and shows you what God wants to do to break its power in your life.

This sermon unpacks Israel’s slavery in Egypt and God’s strange way of training them in freedom through manna and Sabbath. You’ll see that Sabbath isn’t self-care. It’s resistance.

We’ll uncover what’s really keeping you from rest—and point you to Jesus, the true bread from heaven, whose finished work on the cross means you don’t have to prove yourself anymore.

Sabbath isn’t just rest. It’s an act of war.
