Fighting for Rest - Part 5: Party Harder

February 3, 2019 Speaker: Chris Francis Series: Fighting For Rest

We live in a cruel, broken world. But through Jesus, we have been invited to a heavenly party.

One that will last for all eternity. 

So when God commands his people to celebrate, to feast, and to party, he is telling us to fix our eyes on His kingdom when everything around us says to worry and fret and work. 

"Celebration is the practice of lifting our eyes from our preoccupation with the work we have to do and the trouble we’re in and the money we owe and the reputation we strive to keep - to lift our eyes from all that and set them on things above." - Mark Buchanan (Your God is Too Safe)
