First Day: Discovering the Freedom of Sabbathcentric Living

The power of Sabbath-centric livingAuthor John Andres challenges us to look at our lives in the light of Adam and Eve's first day on the planet. Although the Sabbath was day 7 for God in terms of creation, it was day 1 for newly created humanity. Before God asked Adam and Eve to do anything, He invited them simply to be - to enjoy and understand the power of rest.The Sabbath teaches us the principle of working out of a place of rest in God, not simply resting from work. At it's heart are three vital truths: Worship - which is God-centredWorth - we are beings not do-ingsWork - we work out of a proper understanding of our purpose through a clear insight into our value before God. The principles contained within the concept of Sabbath are not simply intended as a once-per-week experience. Rather, they express a lifestyle that should shape our whole experience of walking with and trusting God.About the authorDr John Andrews is an author, speaker and teacher with a passion to equip and inspire leaders, as well as empowering followers of Jesus into effective lifestyle and service.
