Message: “Rest for Your Soul” from Richard Fellars

In our sermon series, The Life God Has Always Wanted For You, Pastor Richard Fellars talks about how Sabbath rest is a gracious, God-ordained rhythm that invites us into holiness—not through striving, but by abiding in the finished work of Christ, including:
THE PATTERN OF SABBATH REST IN SCRIPTURE (Genesis 2:1–3; Exodus 3; Isaiah 6; Hebrews 4:9–11; Matthew 11:28–30),
THE PRINCIPLE OF SABBATH REST (Matthew 11:28–29), and
THE PRACTICE OF SABBATH REST (Romans 14:5; Mark 2:27–28).
This podcast episode is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, July 27, 2025.

From Series: "The Life God Has Always Wanted For You"

The life God desires for you isn’t about performing for him — it’s about celebrating life with him. It isn’t earned through effort, or reserved for the ultra-righteous. It’s a life shaped by joy, peace, purpose, and transformation — and it begins with grace.

Spiritual habits like prayer, reading scripture, solitude, and fasting aren’t religious checkboxes. Those disciplines are invitations. Gifts. Graces. They’re how we train our hearts to hear God’s voice, know his love, and live in his freedom. This life with God is about becoming who you were always meant to be and rejoicing along the way. Join us to discover how these practices can become pathways, not pressure, to the life God always intended for you.
