Sabbath: Learning to Stop and Trust God | Don’t Skip the Big Rocks 05
We live in a world that constantly tells us to do more, achieve more, and keep going. But God created us with a different rhythm: work and rest.
In Week 5 of Don’t Skip the Big Rocks, we look at what the Bible really teaches about Sabbath. Sabbath is more than a rule or a day on the calendar—it is a gift that reminds us that God is in control, our value is not found in our productivity, and the work of Jesus is already finished.
What would it look like to regularly stop, rest, delight, and notice what God is doing?
Scriptures: Genesis 2:1–3, Deuteronomy 5:12–15, Colossians 2:16–17, Hebrews 4:9–11, Mark 2:27, Matthew 11:28–30

Sabbath: Making Space for What Matters Most (Don’t Skip the Big Rocks, Part 5 of 6)
A lot is going on in life, at all times, for us all. This can make it tough to sit back and see what’s going on from a big picture perspective. In this series, our goal is to learn how to live our lives with wisdom as we look to keep Jesus at the center of our lives.
This week, we consider the Sabbath. Sabbath is a regular, intentional period of time when we stop our normal work and make space to rest, enjoy God’s gifts, worship, and remember what matters most. Sabbath helps put the rocks back in their proper place.
In this message, we take a look at Ephesians 5:15-17, Mark 2:23-28, Deuteronomy 5:12, Deuteronomy 5:15, Colossians 3:17, and Hebrews 4:9-10. This message is from our 9:00 AM worship service on Sunday, September 13, 2026.

God Things – Mark Niemi
This week on the Grace Unscripted Podcast, we hear the story of Mark Niemi and the many “God things” that have shaped his journey of faith. From a Catholic upbringing and a transformative season in college to finding deep community and discovering a calling to invest in other men, Mark’s story is ultimately about learning to listen for God’s voice and take the next step He puts in front of you. Listen in as Mark shares why isolation and passivity are so dangerous, why we were made for relationship, and how living from the identity God has given us can transform the way we lead, serve, and love the people around us.
If Mark’s story has resonated with you or you have any questions, we would love to hear from you! You can email us at Unscripted@graceohio.org! We are also excited to let you know that we have a Grace Unscripted worship playlist made up of each guest’s favorite worship song, or songs! You can check the playlist out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1xkOay7mU9SDKbeiRYfNCm?si=2928f6ecc26b47a6

Are You Aiming at What Matters Most?
Every day, we wake up with another opportunity to decide what matters most. Even when we know our priorities, it can be easy to drift, get distracted, and slowly miss the target.
In John 15, Jesus gives us a simple invitation: “Remain in me.”
In this message, we look at God’s goal for our lives, our role in staying connected to Him, and His promise that when we abide in Jesus, He will produce lasting fruit and transformation in us.
The Christian life isn’t just about arranging our priorities correctly once. It’s about choosing, day after day, to walk with Jesus, listen to Him, learn from Him, and remain connected to Him.
God’s goal is deep connection. Our role is to remain. His promise is transformation.
John 15:4–8
