Adventurous Discipleship

Nate Williams & Jessica Bouland

The Church isn’t a social club — it’s a launchpad for missionaries. The Church doesn’t exist just for its members benefits, but for a unified mission to be used by God to make disciples of all nations. Discipleship equips us for this mission — an adventure marked by sacrificial love, humble service, and radical generosity.

    Sabbath: Keeping the Lord's Day 🙏 ⛪️ 📖

    In a culture obsessed with hustle, God invites His people to rest. In this final episode of the “Doctrine in Life” series, Nate and Jessica explore the meaning and purpose of the Sabbath—known to Christians as the Lord’s Day—and how it offers both renewal and realignment for the soul. Together they trace the Sabbath’s roots from creation and the Exodus, through Jesus’s declaration as “Lord of the Sabbath,” to its fulfillment in Christ’s finished work. The conversation draws from passages like Exodus 20:8–11, Mark 2:27–28, Colossians 2:16–17, and Romans 14:5 to show that Sunday is more than a day off—it’s a celebration of resurrection life and a reminder that our identity is rooted not in productivity, but in Christ’s grace. Listeners will learn how the early church gathered on the first day of the week, how Sabbath is a rhythm rather than a rule, and how to honor the Lord’s Day without slipping into legalism. Nate and Jessica also discuss the challenge of Sabbath rest for those who serve on Sundays and offer practical ideas for reclaiming rest through worship, reflection, and fellowship. Key takeaway: The Sabbath is not about what we can’t do, but what we get to do—delight in God’s presence, rest in Christ’s finished work, and realign our hearts under His lordship. 🕊️ Scriptures: Genesis 2:2–3; Exodus 20:8–11; Mark 2:23–28; John 20:1; Acts 20:7; Romans 14:5–10; Colossians 2:16–17; Hebrews 10:25 🎧 Special Note: Next week's episode is the final episode of Season 1!
