Presbyterian Women Bible study: Celebrating Sabbath

Bible Study: Celebrating Sabbath

Celebrating Sabbath: Accepting God’s Gift of Rest and Delight  In the nine lessons of this new Bible study, author Carol M. Bechtel invites participants to consider Sabbath: as a celebration, not a day of dreary formality, as God’s intent for all of creation (and that includes busy people too!), as one day of the week, perhaps a Sunday, as a time to surrender unhealthy striving and frantic busyness, and instead trust that God will provide, as a reminder that life is precious and working too much is against God’s plans for our precious lives, and as a day devoted to community and justice and not exclusively self-care. Celebrating Sabbath brims with sermon possibilities, adult education opportunities, and of course, personal faith enrichment.  Carol M. Bechtel is the professor of Old Testament at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan.
