Scenario cards

"I have a deadline right after Sabbath and it's stressing me out already." How do you prepare ahead instead of scrambling Friday afternoon?

"My friend says the Bible is just an old book." How would you explain what makes it trustworthy, without sounding defensive?

"I keep messing up the same thing." What does grace actually mean on a day like that?

"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
MATTHEW 11:28

"Vinde a mim todos os que estais cansados e oprimidos." · "Venid a mí todos los que estáis cargados."

Mission & service

Local and global action

This week: invite someone who doesn't have regular rest — a neighbor, a coworker, a new believer — into part of your Sabbath.

Prayer & reflection

A quiet moment

"God, thank You for a gift I could never earn. Help me rest in what You've already done, and let that rest actually change how I live today."
