Sermon Series: Work It Matters
Teaching Pastor Aaron Buer discusses Work in a Broken World. This conversation explores three realities of work in a broken world. Even with these realities, we learn that God is present with us and provides for us through our work.
Genesis 3:17-23
Senior Pastor Jeff Manion begins the Work: It Matters series by looking at work in a perfect world. In the first two chapters of Genesis, we see that God worked and he gave people work to do. God provides a three-step pattern for us to follow: chaos, order, satisfaction. Moving in the New Testament, we learn that whether we like the work we do or not, we should do it well and with a good attitude for Jesus. Genesis 1-2 Colossians 2:2-3
Senior Pastor Jeff Manion talks about three radical ideas that can transform the way we view our work and the work of others. In this conversation, we see that work is an expression of God’s care, an expression of our love and is an overflow of grace. Matthew 6:9-11 Mark 12:28-31 Ephesians 2:8-10
Pastor Jeff Manion discusses how we tend to forget our work matters to God. We often forget five things along the way: who we work for, to bring our heart, who we are, to treat people humanely and to who we represent. Colossians 3:22-4:1

Making Your Mark

The stories Jesus told and what they mean for your life today . Why did Jesus teach in stories? Because the deepest truths about God are often found in the ordinary moments of life. In the parables, Jesus takes everyday things, a lost sheep, a dinner party, a farmer planting seeds and uses them to show us what God is really like and what it means to follow him. This summer, we’re spending seven weeks in the parables from Luke’s gospel. Whether you’ve heard these stories a hundred times or this is your first time, you’re invited to come and hear them fresh. June 27/28–August 8/9
