SNAKE 41: What Is Permissible and Profitable on the Christian Sabbath?

In this episode, we tackle the often-overlooked fourth commandment and explore its significance for modern Christian living.

What we discuss:

• The meaning of the Christian Sabbath

• Different views on Sabbath observance

• How to make the Lord's Day special without falling into legalism

• Balancing rest, worship, and fellowship

As pastors at Reformation Church, we share our biblical perspective on this crucial topic. Should Christians eat out on Sundays? Is recreation appropriate? We respond to common practices and offer scriptural insights to guide your thinking.
