The Story of Work: Created with Limits
Dave Ainsworth
 

We meet Sunday mornings at New Traditions Elementary School! You can find more information about our Sunday gatherings on this page.

Summary

In work, we are prone to assume all of our struggles are a result of sin and the world’s brokenness; these must be the thorns God cursed Adam and Eve with. But God created all of us with limits, which are good and intentionally built by Him. Listen to Dave unpack the doctrine of Finitude and God’s design for us in work.

Romans 12:3-8

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
