The Sabbath & The Savior

Nov 23, 2025    Erin Youngs

This sermon explores Jesus' approach to the Sabbath through three controversies in Matthew 12:1-21, contrasting the Pharisees' legalistic burden with Christ's offer of true rest. The message emphasizes that Jesus values people over rules, relationships over rituals, and mercy over sacrifice. Jesus demonstrates that He is Lord of the Sabbath by providing for the hungry, healing the broken, and offering genuine rest to the weary.
