Rest Like Jesus – A Call to Sabbath
In the second week of our Like Jesus sermon series, Pastor Mike Garcia shared an important message on the biblical value of rest. Preaching from Mark 2:27-28, Mark 4:35-39, and Exodus 20:8, he reminded us that even Jesus took time to withdraw, rest, and reconnect with God.

The Sabbath is a gift, meant to refresh and refuel us so we can live in alignment with God’s purpose.
