The story of work

Every week, we declare as a church that Jesus will return in glory. How does that hope shape how and what we do as we go about living and working in our everyday realities? Alec draws out from the biblical narrative what is Christ’s call for us in the meantime.

Though God’s command to love selflessly seems incompatible with our world where self-interest abounds, it remains at the center of God’s invitation to us through eternity, as He redeems our world and work. Tune in as Dave shares what Scripture has to say about these difficult invitations.

Every fourth Sunday, we will pause from our normal sermon series to examine work. Work is essential to the Christian walk and a place where we get to exercise our giftings in shaping the world. Each of these Sundays, a few of our member's are interviewed about how they experience work.

We can never guarantee that our labor will come to fruition. How do we work in the present when we feel as if we work in vain? Listen, as Dave shares how God invites us to work in the present as an expression of hope.

Work was meant to be a good thing, but what happens when we look to it to fill our longing for ultimate meaning and purpose in our lives? In this sermon, Dave explores how scripture speaks to these impulses and reveals where our true identity and purpose lies.

Does our work matter if it doesn’t create meaning; make an impact; or change the world? Is this work important if it’s not personally fulfilling? Listen as Dave unpacks scripture’s response to these questions.

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.

In our second sermon in the series on Work, we step into the creation story and unpack what being made in the image of God means for work and its place in creation.

Every fourth Sunday for the past few months, we have had a side series, “Thank God for Work”; where we interview members about the work they do and how it fits into faith. The bible begins with God at work and this simple truth is vital to any Christian understanding of work. Before our work can become faithful, fruitful, or free we must see and receive God's work. Listen as Dave unpacks this in the first sermon in our new series on work.
