TODAY, PASTOR GARY PRESENTS PART 2 of his sermon serieson the subject of the Sabbath titled “A Day to Remember.” The concept of Sabbath has been around for as long as recorded history. How has it changed over the centuries? Are Jews and Christians the only religious groups that observe a day of rest? Does God really care which day one observes as a Sabbath? Where is Jesus in all of this?  Let’s all learn together.
