Understanding the Sabbath Today | Pastor Nick on the Fourth Commandment

Описание: In today’s episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Nick returns as we continue our journey through the Ten Commandments. After discussing the Third Commandment yesterday, we now dive deep into the Fourth Commandment: Remember the Sabbath Day and Keep It Holy.
Pastor Nick unpacks what “remembering” truly means in Scripture—not recalling something forgotten, but responding in faithfulness, trust, and obedience. We explore how Sabbath rest reflects God’s rhythm in creation, how the practice has shifted from Old Testament to New Testament, and why rest remains a countercultural but crucial spiritual discipline for believers today.
We also look at:

Why Sabbath is about honoring God, not legalism
How trust and rest are inseparably linked
What Jesus meant by “I will give you rest”
How Sabbath shapes our identity, productivity, and worship
The dangers of replacing God with idols of work, performance, or prosperity

This conversation is rich, practical, and deeply rooted in the heart of Christian discipleship.
