Sabbath – The Blessing of Ceasing

Speaker: Troy Phelps

Date 1/31/26

From creation onward, the Sabbath was designed as a blessing — a weekly gift of holy time where God’s people cease from work and draw closer to Him. This message explores the biblical meaning of “rest” as cessation, the Sabbath as a sign of freedom from spiritual slavery, and how we can rediscover it as a day of renewal, joy, and delight in the Lord.

Troy serves as pastor for the congregations in Petaluma and San Francisco Bay Area, California.
