Hey, good evening. Welcome to Bridge Town Church. If you didn't know, we have been learning

about Sabbath. We're coming to the end of that practice. We're wrapping that up this week.

That's where we've been. We're going to do something a little bit different tonight. We're going

to do a little meditation with some listening prayer from Psalm 23. We'll do a little bit in the text

and then a little bit of listening prayer and now a little different, little experimental. Thank

you for showing up. I think it's going to be really good. So, hey, we had anybody have a snow day

time off from snow? Anybody? Okay, a couple of hands. How many of you guys thought to yourself

snow day? It's like a Sabbath, right? Do you think that? Some of you guys have not been taking a

Sabbath. Therefore, the Lord sent the snow days. So, you're welcome to that. But we're learning

about rest and we are kind of pushing into this idea of, well, what if our Sunday gatherings

were actually a place of rest, right? So, for many people, like, show hands, how many of you guys

are actually experimenting? We've been trying to have your day of rest, have your Sabbath on Sunday.

Right. So, it would kind of make sense that you would come to a gathering and this would be a

place where you could further encounter the Lord, his spirit, and rest, right? So, that's kind of

what we're thinking about. We're going to press into that a little bit tonight. And as I was thinking

about that, I realized for years, my dad has always been able to rest really well at church.

He can sleep and will sleep in every single sermon, including one given by his son. He will fall asleep.

And not only will he fall asleep, but it's called nodding off because it kind of goes nods forward.

But he has the ability to sleep in the sermon and while sleeping, laugh if the pastor makes a good joke.

It's amazing. Dad, I respect that so much about you. But you know,

it's just a weird thing to think about being in God's presence and falling asleep. I think the stigma

that I've had around that is that was a bad thing, right? If you're like, oh, I tried to pray this
