We were created to work... and that's a very good thing! Ever since the beginning, God has called and commissioned us to do good work. Work is in the fabric and fiber of who we were created to be! When Adam fell, it changed the way we saw work. But what we lost in the garden, Jesus restored for us! We're not supposed to work to become anyone or achieve anything; we work because we are God's good work, and we have been empowered by Him to bring His rule and reign — His kingdom come — to all the areas of life. In this message, Pastor John Stickl teaches us that work is worship, work will be rewarded, work participates in the creation of the Garden City, and work is practice for eternity.
It is impossible to follow Jesus without inviting Him home because the most important place we activate our faith is in our home.
We come to the harbor (church) to be filled up, refreshed, and refueled, but we're not meant to stay in the harbor. We're created...
You are holy! Not because of what you do, but because of your relationship with God. He wants relationship, not rules!
