Rest Or Restless? - Pastor Scott Silcox

The true meaning of godly rest comes not through vacations or "me time," but through entering a state of trust that God has already prepared for believers today.

• Biblical rest exists as a promise already established for us
• God designed Sabbath not as rigid religious obligation but as time to appreciate His goodness
• Our past failures and sins do not disqualify us from experiencing God's rest
• Rest requires active obedience rather than passivity or laziness
• The Holy Spirit "pulls focus" in our lives, directing our attention consistently to Jesus
• We often forfeit rest by letting worldly distractions dictate our priorities
• Faith focuses the promise of rest, Sabbath frames it, and obedience keeps it clear
• What pulls focus in your life affects everything—your peace, priorities and perspective
• True rest isn't dependent on circumstances but on who you're trusting
• Entering God's rest means stepping out of restlessness into what He's already prepared
