Sunday Sermon (May, 30)

Hey guys, whats up!

Starting tomorrow, we will be doing the book of ephesians. Sry for not discussing about this with you guys, forgot! My apologize. We will discuss this friday, when we sleep over at church!

Today was another interesting sermon! The fourth commandment, remember the Sabbath day! As pastor moses said, for the six days, we shall work, but on the seventh day, we shall rest because God made the sabbath day holy. As moses asked, what is holy? Holy means pure. I forgot what he exactly said, i think he said, holy means set if off. Correct me if i was wrong.

One thing i realized during the sermon was that, for some people, keeping the seventh day as the rest day can be difficult. For some, we have test we may have to study for the monday, or parents working so they can make money for their families, etc.

In my opinion, i think God created the sabbath day because so we can rest from all of are work, and spend some quality time with God. The lord has blessed that day, and made it holy. Thanks to this sabbath day, every live stock in this world will be rested, and blessed.

Peace!

Joseph basically summarized it before I had a chance to.

It is true - keeping the Sabbath holy is a hard task for us students. Because of the endless procrastination in our lives, we're faced with leaving the work on Sunday, even for me. It can get tough, but we have to somehow manage.

My goal for this week is to essentially try and complete my work for six days - that the seventh may be used for rest, but to glorify God.

Remember that rest is both a good thing and a bad thing. An EXCESS of rest can lead to laziness and boredom. A day of rest that is used to praise God and enjoy ourselves is beneficial.

Joseph - Holy doesn't necessarily mean 'pure'. It means to be SET APART.

To keep the Sabbath day holy is to keep it set apart from the other days of the week - bless it and glorify God on that day - that is what keeps it significant.

I pray that I can continue working harder this week for the six days and keep the seventh day as a time for spiritual nourishment and of rest - that God himself may rest as well.

oo yea, thats right, SET APART! Thnx julian!

Today Pastor Moses talked about the fourth commandment. Keep the Sabbath Holy.

Our Sabbath as children of God, is to work for 6 days and rest for the 7th giving it up to God. For he did the same to us.

Holy= set apart.

I think it means that it should be set apart because the 7th day is a holy one. Its the day to give to God and to glorify his name. Usually we arent keeping the Sabbath holy because we dont come to church from our own choice, we come because our parents drag us. So it may be hard to give it up, but God created the 7th day to be set apart and to be used for his glory.

So my goal is to work very hard for 6 days, and on the 7th, honour and glorify Gods name keeping the Sabbath holy to please God.

Peace

Keeping the sabbath holy.

I thought the importance of this commandment was meaningless- especially in the society we live in today.
I belived other errands and priorities were more important, such that they could be done for the sabbath.

But keeping SUNDAY only for God- is the ONE way we can worship him easily.
It is the one change, besides doing devotions everyday or giving tithe.

Keeping the sabbath day, I think would complete our worship of God and especially being loyal to our Father above.
