Good Work
"To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God."
— Ecclesiastes 5:19
Introduction
The Bible begins with a working week. Before anything else happens, God works: creating, organising, designing, building and delegating. Then he makes people in his image and gives us responsibility for his world. Work matters because it is one of the main ways we worship God, serve our neighbours and help people flourish.
This autumn, GOOD WORK will explore why God made work, what it is for and how we can approach it in a way that honours him. We will consider the gifts and pressures of work: rest and toil, service, ambition, integrity, money, home, stewardship and the hope of work restored in God's new creation. Whether our work is paid or unpaid, public or unseen, all of us have important work to do. May we do it all for the glory of God.
Videos
Videos from the series will become available on this page as we go through the term — Sunday talks, group discussion videos and other material to help us go deeper.
Do check back each week.
Groups & Resources
We really want to encourage everyone to be part of a group this term. During the week, many of our groups will follow the series, helping us connect the Sunday teaching with everyday life through Bible passages, short videos, discussion, practical responses and prayer.
Group Workbook
A nine-week workbook for groups, with the Bible passage, questions for discussion, practical responses, prayer points and space for notes.
Your group leader will hand these out as we go through the series. You can also read or download it here.
Recommended Books
A few books we would recommend to help you think through work, vocation, money and calling as we go through the series. They are available online from a variety of book shops.
