Church is the Sabbath.
00:00:10.08\00:00:12.74
The Beneficent Creator,
after the six days of creation
00:00:12.77\00:00:16.86

and instituted the Sabbath
00:00:16.89\00:00:20.05
for all people as a
memorial of creation.

The fourth Commandment
of God's unchangeable
00:00:23.02\00:00:25.91

of this Seventh-day Sabbath
00:00:25.94\00:00:29.59
as the day of rest,
worship, and ministry in harmony
00:00:29.62\00:00:33.74
with the teaching
and practice of Jesus.
00:00:33.78\00:00:36.91
The Sabbath is a day of
delightful communion with God
00:00:36.94\00:00:40.40
and one another, it is a symbol
of our redemption in Christ
00:00:40.43\00:00:44.77
a sign of our sanctification,
a token of our allegiance,
00:00:44.80\00:00:49.67
and a foretaste of our
eternal future in God's kingdom.
00:00:49.70\00:00:53.42
This Sabbath is God's perpetual
sign of His eternal covenant
00:00:53.45\00:00:57.85
between Him and His
people. Joyful observances

sunset to sunset is a
celebration of God's creative
00:01:04.11\00:01:08.83
and redemptive acts.
