Sunday

September 27, 2026

This Sunday we are taking a look at the 4th commandment, “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy…” Just 4 weeks ago I preached on the Sabbath but in light of one biblical advice for healthy living. This Sunday we are looking at Sabbath in terms of freedom and social justice.

I went down the “rabbit hole” trying to find out the history of the Sabbath but came up empty except for the fact that it is a thoroughly Jewish concept. No other culture or religion has such a concept. It is also unclear when it was established. The biblical account of the Sabbath as shared with us in Exodus 20 is not the historical record for that. Remember, the Bible is not a history book. Even Jewish scholars cannot pin down a specific time when the Sabbath was established and if and how it was kept. It is a bit of a mystery.

I also did some research about Sabbath keeping today in terms of what is and is not allowed to happen on the Sabbath. May I just say, my head started to spin a little.

Let’s stick with my plan of taking a look at Sabbath as a moment of social justice and an expression and practice of freedom.

Join us for worship at 10 am in person or via Facebook Live.
