christian church revelations
I encounter many Christians who've been raised in the church but never realized that there's a cohesive storyline from Genesis to Revelation.
thinking world today
When we think of our world today with all of its interconnectedness and complexities, the scope of gospel renewal includes systems and structures that are far beyond what we might consider day-to-day.
identity christ
The gospel has brought a new identity in Christ that then allows our work to no longer be the source of our identity but the rightful expression of it.
children coffee people
When people criticize our work, whether that work is a spreadsheet, a coffee, or our children, we take it very personally as if they were attacking us. This response shows how instead of taking criticism in ways that help us in our work, we become easily defensive and negative.
trying security values
When we try to find our sense of security, value, worth from our work, we'll find ourselves anxiety-ridden and burdened.
humanity identity divorced
Our identity was bestowed upon us by God and when humanity rebelled against God, we were divorced from the source of our identity. In this vacuum, work can wrongfully become the source of our identity wreaking havoc on our lives and work. Work was never meant to carry the weight of our identity.
identity
As image-bearers of God, human beings likewise create in ways that reflect our identity.
world universe
When God created the universe, this world beautifully and gloriously revealed his unfathomable being.
world innovative
Because of the gospel, God is doing a new work, and he invites us to participate in this innovative work that affects the entirety of our world.
world hopefully
The gospel impacts the way we do our work in ways that hopefully brings a greater flourishing to our world.
moving people profound
The gospel moves us to see others as people created in God's image and that can have a profound impact on people's productivity and work satisfaction.
empowering
The gospel changes how we view and work with others in a way that both humanizes our interactions with them and empowers them to work well.
hours
One of the fundamental premises of this Bible is that the gospel changes everything. If this is true, how does the gospel change the very thing we spend most of our waking hours doing - work.
heart fields missionary
Every heart without Christ is a mission field; Every heart with Christ is a missionary by vocation.
