The Third Commandment: Remember the Sabbath Day, To Keep It Holy


by Rev. Derek P. Elphick

Type of Event: Worship Service: Sermon only

Date Recorded: November 09, 2025

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

(Exodus 20:8) The Hebrew word for “Sabbath” means rest. Physical and mental “rest” is relatively easy to obtain but a holy day of rest requires a different mindset and a different skill set. This commandment draws our attention to the fact that the quality of our Sabbath Day is directly proportional to how things go during the "six days of labor" leading up to it, and how we view the challenges and difficulties of our work week.
