For many, the New Year is a time for setting goals and aspiring to greater success, particularly at work. As Christians, how should we approach our work? How do we avoid the temptation to laziness while also making sure we don't put all of our identity into our work? The book of Proverbs has much wisdom to offer us.
The gospel impacts every area of our lives. As we continue in Ephesians this Sunday, the Apostle Paul applies his exhortation to submission in two significant places—our home and our work. We'll see how our union with Christ transforms our relationships with our parents and our bosses.
This Sunday we welcome Pastor Curtis Cook of Hope Fellowship Church in Cambridge to preach God's word to us. Pastor Curtis has not only been a faithful church planter and pastor for 20 years, but also a mentor and equipper of other pastors. He'll share the word from us Psalm 127.
Whether at work, school, the church, or home, it's often easy to serve joyfully when things are going well. But what about when the circumstances are not ideal--or even unjust? How can we persevere in our faith and service even in hard times? We'll see this from Paul's encouragement to Christian slaves in the Ephesian church.
