Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

– Psalm 100:1-5

At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.” He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? Or have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless? I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have con-demned the guiltless. For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

– Matthew 12:1-8

Fighter Verse for the Week of March 8Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

– Hebrews 12:1

Come, Thou Fount of Every BlessingCome, Thou Fount of every blessing,Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;Streams of mercy, never ceasing,Call for songs of loudest praise.Teach me some melodious sonnet,Sung by flaming tongues above;Praise the Name! I’m fixed upon it,Name of Thy redeeming love.

Hither to Thy love has blessed me,Thou hast brought me to this place;And I know Thy hand will bring meSafely home by Thy good grace.Jesus sought me when a stranger,Wandering from the fold of God;He, to rescue me from danger,Interposed His precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtorDaily I’m constrained to be!Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,Bind my wandering heart to Thee:Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,Prone to leave the God I love:Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,Seal it for Thy courts above.

Oh that day when freed from sinning,I shall see Thy lovely face;Full arrayed in blood washed linenHow I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,Bring Thy promises to pass.For I know Thy power will keep meTill I’m home with Thee at last.

Afflicted Saint, To Christ Draw NearAfflicted saint, to Christ draw near,Your Savior’s gracious promise hear,His faithful Word, you can believe,that as your days your strength shall be

Your faith is weak, your foes are strong,and if the conflict should be long,the Lord will make the tempter flee,that as your days your strength shall be.

(Chorus)So, sing with joy, afflicted one;the battle’s fierce, but the victory’s won;God shall supply all that you need.Yes, as your days your strength shall be.

Should persecution rage and flame,still trust in your Redeemer’s name;in fiery trials you shall see,that as your days your strength shall be.(Repeat Chorus)

When called to bear your weighty cross,or sore affliction, pain, or loss,or deep distress or poverty,still as your days your strength shall be.

Words by John Fawcett (1782); Connie Dever (Chorus) © 2018 Praise Factory Music/Sovereign Grace Worship CCLI #249042

With every breath I long to follow JesusFor He has said that He will bring me homeAnd day by day I know He will renew meUntil I stand with joy before the throneTo this I hold, my hope is only JesusAll the glory evermore to HimWhen the race is complete,Still my lips shall repeat:Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

Words & Music by Jonny Robinson, Rich Thompson, & Michael Farren © 2018 CityAlight Music CCLI #249042

Before The Throne of God AboveBefore the throne of God aboveI have a strong, and perfect plea,a great High Priest whose name is Love,who ever lives and pleads for me.My name is graven on His hands.My name is written on His heart.I know that while in heaven He standsno tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair,and tells me of the guilt within,upward I look and see Him therewho made an end of all my sin.Because the sinless Savior died,my sinful soul is counted free.For God, the Just, is satisfiedto look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there! the risen Lamb,my perfect, spotless Righteousness,the great unchangeable I AM,the King of glory and of grace!One with Himself, I cannot die.My soul is purchased by His blood.My life is hid with Christ on high,with Christ, my Savior and my God.

Words & Music by Charitie Bancroft (1863) & Vikki Cook © 1997 Sovereign Grace Worship CCLI #249042

Yet Not I But Through Christ In MeWhat gift of grace is Jesus my redeemerThere is no more for heaven now to giveHe is my joy, my righteousness, and freedomMy steadfast love, my deep andboundless peace.To this I hold, my hope is only JesusFor my life is wholly bound to His.Oh how strange and divine,I can sing: all is mine!Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

The night is dark but I am not forsakenFor by my side, the Savior He will stay.I labor on in weakness and rejoicingFor in my need, His power is displayedTo this I hold, my Shepherd will defend meThrough the deepest valley He will leadOh the night has been won,And I shall overcome!Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

No fate I dread, I know I am forgivenThe future sure, the price it has been paidFor Jesus bled and suffered for my pardonAnd He was raised to overthrow the graveTo this I hold, my sin has been defeatedJesus now and ever is my pleaOh the chains are released,I can sing: I am free!Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

The Sabbath exists to make much not of the Sabbath but of Christ. As Christians, this is the critical center to every thought and discussion concerning the Sabbath.

Confusion over the Sabbath is nothing new. We miss the point of the Sabbath when we lose sight of its glorious purpose.

To be sure, the Sabbath was instituted as a covenant sign for the nation of Israel to be observed on the seventh day. “I gave them my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them” (Ezekiel 20:12).

The call to rest was particularly a call to find refreshment and refuge in God. Shabbat is purposed to testify supremely to the shalom that is found in God alone.

All in Christ are called to see that the He alone is the fulfill-ment and only offer of our true Sabbath rest. This “rest” is made possible not because of our obedience but because of Christ’s obedience (Hebrews 4:14-16). He embodies all that grants us rest from our unceasing slavery to sin. Christ is “the Lord of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:28).

The astonishing truth is that Jesus assumes the place of God, inviting and promising that all who come to Him will finally find the only true and lasting rest for their soul. Christ is the substance of the Sabbath, the fulfillment of its deepest mean-ing and purpose.

True Sabbath What We Believe at TBC:

A High View of Christ – as GodChrist is God manifest in human flesh, the second person of the Trinity. While grace is comprehensively free to the sinner, it is incomprehensively costly to God. Any ministry of the gospel must therefore maintain Christ as preeminent in all things (Col 1:18‐19). Christ is called by the names of God (Mt 3:3; Jn 8:58), manifests the attributes of God (Jn 10:30; Heb 7:3), demonstrates the abilities and actions of God (Jn 1:3; 5:21), speaks with the authority of God (Mt 9:1‐8; Jn 10:33), and receives worship as God (Jn 5:23)—Christ must be viewed in the church as nothing less than God. Accordingly, the Church is Christ’s—His body (Eph 5:23; Col 1:18), His precious possession (Acts 20:28; 1 Pet 1:18‐19), and His bride (Eph 5:25‐32; Rev 19:7).
