Rest and Rejuvenation
Our problem

- We’ll Work Till Jesus Comes – Elizabeth Mills – possible she did not write the chorus.

- Make the most of every opportunity – Ephesians 5:15-16
- Sabbath rest is promised in Heaven; can we rest now? – Hebrews 4
What is the Biblical perspective?
- Exodus 16:29; 20:8-10
- Matthew 11:28-29

Purpose:
- Rest – Mark 6:31 – even when there is good work to do.
