Preaching Sabbath

Preaching Sabbath is a SKMB resource which provides the church an opportunity to grant their pastor a rest from preaching to focus on spiritual renewal, visioning, training, professional development, planning, counseling, etc.  The SKMB Director of Ministry will serve the church by preaching four consecutive Sunday sermons on one of the following themes or biblical sources:
