Everyday Sabbath Part 06: Open Hands

A sermon on Third John exploring why we grip so tightly to money, time, and control — and what it actually costs us to loosen that grip. Pastor James closes out the Everyday Sabbath series by showing that rest and generosity share the same root: both are acts of trust that God holds what we can't. Using the example of Gaius — a man commended not for status or wealth, but for quietly and faithfully supporting strangers passing through — and contrasting him with Diotrephes, a controlling church leader driven by pride, the message challenges listeners to ask what their own "open hands" would look like in everyday life.
