Welcome to Roseville Covenant Church!

Burnt-out or bored — that describes most of us. It is a challenge to find that perfect mix of life rhythms and commitments to feel like we are in that Goldilocks ‘just right’ spot of giving of ourselves in meaningful ways that don’t leave us empty. In a culture that values ‘doing’ it is easy to feel overworked or undervalued. We guilt ourselves when we’re doing too little but exhaust ourselves when we’re doing too much.

Sabbath is God’s gift of rest that reminds us that it is not our productivity that defines us but God’s love. Sabbath is probably talked about more than it is practiced. It feels good to imagine this rest but much harder to resist our culture’s patterns and accept God’s gift. We feel confused about the what, the how, the when.

My prayer as we explore Sabbath together this Sunday is that God would make clear how his gift of rest might be not just a good idea but an actual reality you can join in on without complicated rules or regulations. Sabbath was made for you!
