We are returning to an annual sermon series we refer to as our New Year Essentials. These sermons address subjects to which we must repeatedly return for the glory of God and the transformation of our lives. These are different sermons, taking different angles, on issues we need to come back to again-and-again. Today, we consider how our work relates to God and his purposes in the world. What we'll see is that all our work matters to God, and God matters to all our work.
