In this sermon, Pastor Drew Webb examines the closing verses of the creation account, where God completes His work and blesses the seventh day. Genesis 2:1–3 reveals not only the conclusion of God’s creative activity but also the beginning of the sacred rhythm of rest.
This message explores what it truly means for God to “rest.” God was not weary or in need of renewal; rather, His rest signified the completion of His perfect work. The Sabbath was established as a holy day, a reminder of God’s order and provision. It points to His desire for humanity to follow a balanced pattern of work and rest that reflects His image.
Through this sermon, listeners are reminded that rest is not idleness but worship — an act of trust in God’s care and control. By honoring God’s design for rest, we find strength, renewal, and a deeper dependence on Him. The call to Sabbath is ultimately a call to experience the peace and completeness that comes only through Christ, the Lord of rest.
