Genesis 2:1-3 | The First Sabbath Day
Dr. Scott Wilson

What does it mean that God “rested” on the seventh day?

In this message from Genesis 2:1–3, Pastor Scott explores the very first Sabbath—and shows how it wasn’t about God being tired, but about God being finished. This rest was joyful, complete, and holy—and it was a gift meant not just for God, but for us. You’ll discover how the Sabbath points to something far deeper than physical rest—it points to a Person. True rest for your soul is found in Christ alone, now and forever.
