Created To Rest

by Foothills Church on October 13, 2019

Pastor Neil taught on “Rest” from Jesus’ words about rest in the gospels and from the example of the Israelites in Exodus. In this lesson we’ll dig deeper into the truly remarkable rest available to Christians and why it’s important that we do not “fall short of entering the rest of God”. Christianity is the religion of rest, and we’ll explore several types of rest available to people of God.

All through history people have toiled to get the blessings and protection of the gods. Rituals, sacrifices, heroic deeds, physical exertions, throwing virgin into volcanoes, etc. are attempts to placate the gods and get salvation. But read Romans 10:9 and Romans 5:8. Where is the toil and labor that Christians must perform in order to make ourselves presentable to our God?

Re-read Luke 20:29-32. What is the toil that Jesus frees us from in this passage?
