As we continue our series this Sunday, we will ask how being authentic with what we do helps us become more aligned with who we were created to be. Studies say the average person over the course of a lifetime spends an estimated 90,000 hours at work. Work, broadly defined, is how we spend about a third of our total time. That's a lot of time!!!! Every person's "work" looks different, but we all have some vocation and some way of spending the majority of our time. Maybe, you have a full-time job or career in a more conventional sense; maybe you are a student; maybe you are retired; maybe you are a stay-at-home parent. Maybe what you do for a living is not the thing that you live to do. Whatever your circumstances, chances are you are engaged in some sort of a vocation—a way of spending time that is meaningful and engaging. Even if you are retired, you are still engaged in the world and invest your time in different areas. What we do with our time matters! God cares about the way that we spend our time. This week, Pastor Sarah will share how being authentic helps us use our God -given passions and purpose to participate in the restoration of the world and how those 90,000 hours matter!
