Paul faced a serious problem with the church at Corinth - division, immorality, public disorder and more. Why? Did they have inadequate teaching? Did they lack proper financing? Did they not have the right programs? Paul once again lays out the foundation of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Corinthians, reminding them of who they are in Christ. He lays out the choice before them: life or death? Choose life!
My name is Ben Dulmage. I am a father of two beautiful girls and been married for 14 years to a wonderful wife. I work as an educational assistant for the Hastings Prince Edward School Board, and have seen a lot of changes in our world over the past 15 years. My home church is Parkdale Baptist in Belleville where I am active as a Sunday school teacher for grades 3&4, and volunteer with an outreach program in the Prince Charles PS area on Thursday nights. I am a work in progress and try actively to seek out opportunities for sharing my faith and the love the Jesus's Holy Spirit provides for me. Repentance and humbleness are factors in my life I aim to focus on, and I am in no way perfect.

God gave his people the sabbath as a day of rest because He knew we needed it. Yet we so often ignore the command to rest and push through with our work because we think we are doing what is best for us and our families. This will be an interactive workshop to investigate what God says about Sabbath rest, discover why we find it so hard to do, and develop strategies we can use to bring our lives into alignment with God’s will.
