Rest [Nehemiah 13:15-22]


Sermon Discussion Questions
  • 'The greatest enemy to rest is us.'  As a group, evaluate and discuss this statement using personal stories and examples.  
  • Ryan took the time to list several different kinds of internal pressures that we feel causing our restlessness and contributing to our reluctance to rest on the Sabbath (wanting to get ahead, feeling the need to provide, etc.).  Which one(s) do you resonate with the most?  Why is that?
  • What sorts of external pressures do you see contributing to the lack of Sabbath rest in your life?  What would it look like to push against these external pressures (and the 'external pace')?
  • Do you really believe that God wants us to have the freedom to rest?  
  • Per Ryan's suggestion, what's one thing that you need to change in order to truly rest on the Sabbath, whether something you need to START or STOP.
