Exodus 20:8-11: Rest (II)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

 

This fall marks our sixth installation of “Be with Jesus and Follow His Way of Life,” a semiannual preaching series where we revisit our vision for discipleship to Jesus (with a focus on a particular practice).

But first, what is that vision for discipleship? Park Church exists to make disciples of Jesus for the glory of God and the joy of all people. What’s a disciple? A disciple is someone who has been reconciled to God by grace through faith in Christ and is learning to be with Jesus and follow His way of life.

This particular installation of the series is simply called “Rest” and is aimed at helping disciples of Jesus learn more about what it means to “be with Jesus” by helping us grow in our practices of rest and Sabbath. This mini-series precedes its sibling, “Work,” which we’ll visit in January 2026.

Psalm 8

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

 

Christ in the Psalms is a yearly reflection on how the people of God pray, engage emotion, and offer all elements of life to the God who dwells with His people. As we learn and reflect, we wondrously find unmistakable glimpses of Christ throughout the process.

This year, we began with Psalm 1—returning to the start again after finishing the Psalter last year. The summer will take us through Psalm 10.

Seek First the Kingdom: Time (Matthew 11:28–30)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In a culture that constantly demands more—more productivity, more entertainment, more commitments, more distractions—many people feel stretched thin, exhausted, and unsure whether their time is being spent on what truly matters. The way we use our time reveals our deepest values, yet many of us are caught in patterns that leave us anxious, hurried, and spiritually malnourished. In this third portion of our Seek First the Kingdoms series, we will explore what it means to “redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:16) by centering our lives around God’s Kingdom. Rather than being ruled by cultural expectations, we are called to wisely and intentionally steward our time in light of God’s Kingdom.

Palm Sunday: John 12:12–19

Palm Sunday begins Holy Week and remembers Jesus’ “Triumphal Entry” into Jerusalem. We see that Jesus doesn’t always fit our expectations, but He is far better than we imagine Him to be. With the disciples, we seek to respond with faith that seeks understanding.
