what about work?

Topic: What about Work?

Text: Proverbs 6:6-11

SCRIPTURE:

  • Read this passage in a couple of different versions, including The Message.
  • Spend some time talking about the work habits of the ant. 

ACCOUNTABILITY:

  • What was/is the favorite job you’ve ever had?
  • What’s the difference between rest and laziness (it’s huge)?
  • What are the results of laziness?
  • What are the results of not taking time to rest?

TRANSFORMATION:

  • Scripture clearly values work. And Jesus models a great balance between work and rest. How is your balance these days? What might God want you to adjust?
  • What about your work gives you life?
  • If you don’t have an answer for the question about “work giving you life,” what changes can you make?

“Work is a blessing. God has so arranged the world that work is necessary, and He gives us hands and strength to do it. The enjoyment of leisure would be nothing if we had only leisure. It is the joy of work well done that enables us to enjoy rest, just as it is the experiences of hunger and thirst that make food and drink such pleasures.”  Elizabeth Elliot

Celebration Weekend

We celebrate small steps and momentous milestones. This weekend we celebrate commitment and life change by covenanting with those being baptized, cheering on adults in this symbolic declaration of faith and stepping up to point the children to Jesus. We commit to walking alongside those professing their faith in Christ and reach out to those transferring into our family, creating space for them to find community and their place of service amongst us. This is the weekend we celebrate the visual reminder of how God is restoring and transforming the world one relationship at a time and lean into the known of the much more we are called to do. Celebrate with us!
