As we end our series It’s Work, let’s look at rest. So often rest is thought of as the opposite of work, the enemy of ambition, and/or something that we seldom get to do. In this message, Pastor Jon takes us on a journey to define what rest is, according to God, and how we can experience this rest.
Your Best Work
September 2, 2018
For the most part, people strive to be the best, give their best, and/or have the best. In fact, work is often a means of achieving and/or acquiring the “best.” In this message, Pastor Jon helps us discover what our “best” work should look like according to scripture and how we can achieve it.
The Gift of Unemployment
August 26, 2018
Unemployment can be such a scary word. The idea of losing a
job, getting fired or laid off, and the prospect of lacking purpose,
position, and income are things we want to avoid. In this
message we ask, “Can a gift from God be found in a season of
unemployment? If so, what is it?” Tune in as people who have gone
through unemployment share their experiences and what they
found as a result.
Motivated to Work
August 19, 2018
What’s the difference between someone’s work who is a disciple of Jesus – a Christian – and someone’s work who is not? Outwardly, it may seem that nothing is different. In fact, non-believers often look more successful and fruitful, as if they are making greater contributions. Today Pastor Jon discusses how - in light of the Gospel/Good News of Jesus - our motivation to work is changed and how that makes a world of difference in our work.
Work Redeemed
When it comes to work there is a certain expectation – work hard, produce a product, and get rewarded proportionally. We’ve spent the last three weeks getting ourselves acquainted with the grand scheme of work from God’s perspective. In this message, Pastor Jon shares the totally absurd, amazing, and counter-humanity way the Gospel changes work.
Working Your Life Away Part 2 – Bad Work
August 5, 2018
Last week we discovered what work has become as a result of our broken, sin-filled, and messed up world. It’s not pretty! In fact, it makes work hard. But what about how our messed up, broken minds view work? In this message, Pastor Jon teaches how sin has created a battle in our minds over our approach to work.
Working Your Life Away Part 1: Work Gone Bad
July 29, 2018
Work stinks. Work is hard. These and other statements like it are the way that work is often described in our world. Last week Pastor Jon shared about how we were made to work and God’s design for work. This week we pull back the next layer to uncover what work is like as a result of our broken, sin-filled, and messed up world. WARNING: It’s not pretty!
Made to Work
July 22, 2018
Work – sometimes you love it, sometimes you can’t stand it. Whether it’s yard work, busy work, passion-filled work, or you wanna “take this job and shove it,” we live in a world that works. The majority of things that we hold dear and cherish involve a lot of work to get and keep. Today Pastor Jon takes us back to the beginning of the concept of work to discover its goodness and benefit to us, others, and - most importantly - to God.
