Sermon: We Are at Rest in the Presence of God | Exodus 33:12-23

Christians live by faith, finding rest in Jesus.

A loving God provided rest for physical weariness by creating his creatures with the ability to sleep. But there has always been more to the concept of rest in the Bible than a break from work and labor. God also provides rest for our souls. He gives us relief from sin and a reprieve from the threat of punishment by leading us to trust in his Son. We find our rest in Jesus. 

Prayer:

Gracious God, our heavenly Father, your mercy attends us all our days. Be our strength and support amid the wearisome changes of this world, and at life's end grant us your promised rest and the full joys of your salvation; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
