Sermonette: Can you keep the Sabbath and your job? What about college?

The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce this sermon from its ContinuingCOG channel:

22:07

Can you keep the Sabbath and your job?

Some have said, “I’d like to keep the Sabbath, but I can’t. I have to work on Saturday.” Is it possible to keep your job and keep the Sabbath (and the other Holy Days)? What about getting a college or university degree? How should you approach your boss or teachers about the Sabbath? What is “reasonable accommodation’? What about working on the Sabbath during the ‘busy season’? How should you act? What about the example of Joseph? Should you obey God rather than men? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues as well as relates various personal and family experiences related to keeping the Sabbath and earning degrees while also being a Sabbath keeper.
