The 10 commandments say to honour the Sabbath and keep it holy. But did you ever think about how that commandment is for our own benefit?

The world constantly tells us that our value is tied to what we accomplish, earn, build, or produce. But Jesus tells a different story.

Before you achieve anything, before you prove anything, before you get it all together—you are already loved. Deeply loved. Fully known. Completely seen. Your worth is not something you earn through performance; it's something you receive through grace.

In a culture driven by productivity, Sabbath reminds us that we are children of God before we are workers. We don’t rest because we’ve earned it. We rest because we belong to God.

Question for this week:
If your productivity was taken away, would you still believe you are deeply loved?

What a wonderful declaration of what we desire for our lives. Stand on the firm foundation of His love today!

Sometimes the heaviest burdens in life aren’t the big crises—they’re the small things we carry day after day without rest.

A manageable load can become overwhelming when we keep pushing at an unhealthy pace. The problem isn’t always what we’re carrying. Sometimes it’s how fast we’re trying to carry it. God never designed us to live in a constant state of hurry, pressure, and exhaustion.

Sabbath reminds us that we are human BEINGS, not human DOINGS. It's an invitation to slow down, trust God, and rediscover the life-giving rhythm He created for us.

Question for this week:
What is the pace of your life producing in your soul?

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

How can you make more room in your life? If you're overloaded with responsibilities and obligations and news and events, etc etc etc, how can you come back to a place of peace? Thankfully, God had the answer for us from the very beginning: rest.

Here's your weekly reminder that your thoughts shape your beliefs and your behaviour. If you're feeling overloaded, take a step back and see if there are any thoughts you're entertaining that are shaping how you feel. Remind yourself how God feels about you: He loves you, He desires you, He wants to walk with you! Let those thoughts shape your beliefs.

The church was never meant to be a place where people pretend they’re okay.
It should be the place where exhausted people find rest, anxious people find peace, and broken stories begin to be rewritten.

In a world constantly telling people to do more, achieve more, and prove themselves, Jesus still says, “Come to Me, and I will give you rest.”

Some people walk through church doors carrying shame, pressure, fear, anxiety, and lies they’ve believed for years. But the Gospel has always been about rewritten stories.

My prayer is that Ascent would always be a place where people encounter Jesus, find hope again, and discover they are deeply loved by God.

Sometimes the greatest miracle is not just a changed circumstance -
it’s a changed story.
