The KEY to Getting Godly Rest | How to Keep a Sabbath

In this powerful message from Hill City, Pastor Quinton Carter unpacks the importance of Sabbath and what it truly means to find rest in God. Drawing from Matthew 11:28-30, Genesis 1, and Mark 2:23-28, Pastor Quinton shows how rest isn’t just about stopping work—it’s about stepping into the unforced rhythms of grace. God created the world in a rhythm, and He invites us into that same pattern of restoration and renewal. We are not defined by our performance, but by our identity in Christ, created for good works that begin from a place of peace, not pressure.

This message challenges us to stop chasing a works-based identity and instead embrace intentional rest through prayer and play. Pastor Quinton explains that the Sabbath was made for us—to restore, to refresh, and to realign us with God’s heart. Rest isn’t laziness; it’s worship. Using weekly Sabbaths, weekend resets, seasonal vacations, or sabbaticals, Hill City encourages us to build cycles of rest into our lives that lead to restoration. If you're tired, burned out, or spiritually drained, this message will help you rediscover the joy of resting in God's presence.
