Sermon: Matthew 12:1-14 - “Appropriate Sunday Work” - David Rountree

OUTLINE:

Works of Necessity (vv. 1-4)

Works of Piety (vv. 5-7)

Works of Mercy (vv. 8-14)

Sabbath Guidelines:

  1. God allows for generous broad definitions of work, rest, mercy, necessity and piety to set apart the Sabbath.

  2. Let us be careful to avoid the legalistic approach to the Sabbath.

  3. Jesus’ healings on the Sabbath taught the acceptability of activities which refresh, heal, restore, and strengthen the body and spirit.

  4. Let us prefer to be with Jesus, condemned and criticized, rather than with those doing the criticizing and condemning.

  5. We must think the best of those who do things differently than us on the Sabbath.

  6. There is no advantage to heartless Sabbath rule keeping.

  7. The Sabbath day was not designed to hold us captive but rather to allow God to so captivate our hearts that we want time off from our work to spend with him in a special delightful way. The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.
