Rest in God's Sabbath and the Lord's Day
The sermonette argues that God instituted a weekly rest for Israel and urges modern believers to Sabbatarian practice. It cites Isaiah 58 and Hebrews 4 to outline four rest requirements: turn from self, delight in the Sabbath, avoid own ways, and refrain from speaking our own words. It emphasizes faith, obedience, and reliance on Christ’s cross for spiritual refreshment.
