"Living in Sabbath Rest"

Aug 24, 2025 • Rev. Billy Cerveny

In this powerful sermon from Luke 13:10–17, Rev. Billy Cerveny shows how Jesus’ healing of a woman bound for 18 years reveals the deeper meaning of the Sabbath. Drawing on personal stories, Scripture, and the story of creation, he reminds us that Sabbath is not something we strive to enter—it is a reality we already live in through Christ. Rev. Billy unpacks how Jesus breaks the power of the enemy, restores God’s image in us, and calls us to put down our burdens, embrace His finished work, and live in the freedom of God’s rest.

Scripture Reference: Luke 13:10–17

Key Themes: Sabbath Rest, Freedom in Christ, Healing, Finished Work of Jesus, Spiritual Renewal
