Memory Verse for the Week: Deuteronomy 5:12-13; Romans 12:1-2 (ESV)

Deuteronomy 5:12-13; Romans 12:1-2 (ESV)

Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. … I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Intro: How are we in an unseen war? And how does Sabbath help?

WHAT ARE WE BUILT FOR?
How is our sense of self or identity shaped by our work?

HOW DO WE FIGHT OUR DESIGN?
How is life without Grace (work or rest) enslaving?

LIBERATING, LIFE-GIVING GRACE
How is God’s work of Grace liberating and life-giving?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US ...

1. Worship the LORD who has worked and rested, and made us in His likeness so that we can know Him. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that His work is trustworthy and marvelous.

2. How have you lived as if your work is yours, and that its benefits are solely yours? Confess your pride and selfishness to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and change you into His likeness.

3. Give thanks to Jesus for the miracle of His work to save you. Thank Him for His generosity and love to so freely share the impact of His work to actually give you rest and wholeness.

4. Who do you know that loves things and uses people (rather than the other way around)? Pray for them asking the Father to help them to learn how to truly love people, and how to not love things so much.

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in you His fruit of love and goodness. Ask Him to bolster you in your work and fuel you in your Sabbath rest to not be squeezed into this world’s mold but to be transformed into His likeness.

Looking Back

The Facilitator is a study tool designed to help you engage with the weekly sermon through the five elements we incorporate in our Community Groups; Get Acquainted & Sharing, Sermon Study, Mission, Worship and Prayer. This tool will be made available Monday morning to give us the opportunity to look back at what we heard on Sunday.
