How important is the Sabbath to us? We are commanded to observe the Sabbath and to attend a Holy Convocation. What about when we are in service? Are we fully engaged in what God has prepared for us? What do we talk about with others on the Sabbath day? Ever have an empty feeling after the Sabbath? How can we be properly prepared to meet and worship God on His Sabbath? How can we better be prepared to receive God’s blessing of a Holy Convocation? This sermon will answer these questions.
