This week we hold the reading from Mark 2 and the practice of Sabbath rest. Worship online…

Resistance and Sabbath
We had technical difficulties, so the sound quality on this podcast is not optimal. We apologize for the sound levels. In the aftermath of a white police officer killing an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, Matt’s message invites reflection on how Sabbath might call us to ways of resistance as followers of Jesus. The message is rooted in Genesis 2.1-3 and is the first of a three-week series on Sabbath as Resistance.
