Most of us are running on empty. We experience long hours at work, family responsibilities, and an endless list of tasks that never seems to shrink. Rest often feels like a luxury we can’t afford, or even something we have to earn. But from the very beginning, God modeled a different rhythm for us. He created, He worked, but then He rested. And He calls us to do the same.
In this message from Pastor Ellis Hopson, we explore why true rest matters and what Scripture says about it. It’s more than just taking a nap or a vacation. Rest is a gift from God, an act of trust that reminds us He is working even when we’re not. Together, we’ll discover practical ways to build rest into our lives, set healthy boundaries, and embrace the kind of renewal that refreshes not just our bodies, but also our souls.
Because the truth is—we can’t do it all. And we were never meant to.
