2nd Sunday after Pentecost – 2024

Date: June 2, 2024
Key Speaker: Pastor Daniel Hanson
Season: Time after Pentecost
Series: Heart & Soul: Five Facets of Faith
Description:

Deuteronomy makes clear that sabbath-keeping is meant for the welfare of all. God delivered the Israelites out of slavery, so they should observe this freedom with a day of rest. No one should work seven days a week; even slaves and foreigners should be able to rest. Yet human beings can turn even the most liberating religious practice into a life-destroying rule. Jesus does not reject sabbath-keeping, but defends its original life-enhancing meaning. Our worship and our religious way of life are to lead to restoration: the hungry being fed and the sick being healed.
