The office represents where and how we work. Work makes up so much of our life and it can become a place of compromise. This message should address working for God with all our heart (Col. 3:17), having a healthy rhythm or rest, and seeing work as our mission field.

We spend much of our lives working and so much of that time wishing we weren’t. Work has always been part of the human existence. It became painful because of sin. Jesus shows us how to find meaning, value and purpose in what we do each day. Scripture Passages: Genesis 1:1-2, Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 1:28, Genesis 2:5, 7-8, 15, Genesis 1:31, Genesis 3:16-17, 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, Revelation 22:3-5, 1 Peter 2:9, Romans 1:20, Colossians 3:23, Matthew 28:18-19, 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Reflection Questions: How do I need to change the way I think about work? What will I do differently in order to work for God’s purposes? Additional Resources: Book: Garden City by John Mark Comer Podcast: Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast

The toy room represents how we interact with our kids. Family matters greatly to God and people who follow Jesus should have a different approach to parenting than the rest of the world. The Gospel influence of parents should show up in the culture the create, the vision the have for their kids, and the priorities they establish.

The next generation is essential to the ongoing advance of the Gospel. It is the responsibility of every disciple of Jesus—parents, grandparents, friends, and people of the church—to raise up the next generation of disciples of Jesus.

Scripture Passages:

Deuteronomy 6:1-2, Mark 10:13-16, Mark 1:17, Matthew 16:24-27, Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Ephesians 6:4

The bedroom represents the place of intimacy and sexuality. Whether a person is single or married, purity should be protected here (Hebrews 13:4). This message should define God-honoring sex and urge people to let Jesus enter to forgive, heal, purify and satisfy.

Sex was God’s idea. And it was a good one. But like with everything good, the Devil— the ruler of this world—seeks to distort and destroy sex in order to steal the goodness of what God intended. Jesus desires for us to honor God with both passion and purity.

Scripture Passages:

John 8:10-11, Genesis 1:27-28, Genesis 2:24, Mark 10:6-8, Proverbs 5:15-20, Galatians 6:9, Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Mark 10:7-9, 2 Corinthians 5:17

What do you need to do in this part of your life?

The living room represents relaxation, leisure, and entertainment. This is often a part of our lives where we too easily tolerate sin. Phil. 4:8-9 urge us to think about things that are pure and excellent. Ephesians 5:3 prohibits even a hint of sexual immorality.

The kitchen represents what we consume--food and beverage. What we consume has a way of consuming us. Phil. 3 refers to people who's "God is their stomach" and 1 Corinthians 6:12 Says we shouldn't be mastered by anything.

Jesus wants to come into our lives, to live with us, to rearrange everything so that it is better for us and more pleasing to Him. This series starts with the question, "Will you let Jesus come in?" This happens through the work of the Holy Spirit.

On Easter, we will look at Jesus' resurrection through the latter part of Joseph's story of redemption. Both Joseph and Jesus chose to save those who betrayed them. As we celebrate the resurrection, our focus will be on the way Jesus uses what was intended as evil for good.

For this Palm Sunday, we will use the righteous suffering of Joseph to look creatively at the suffering and death of Jesus, who was righteous and innocent. Jesus came to earth to be God with us. His entire life was devoted to living a perfect life so that His suffering could be for our sins rather than His. On this Sunday before Easter, we reflect on Jesus' suffering that saves us from sin.

God's covenant relationship with His people was established by grace and it continues by grace. He gives birthright inheritance to a son who deceives and He blesses the one who was most unloved. As God completes His work in Jesus, the reversal continues as sinners are saved, the lost and lonely are loved, and the rebels are raised to new life.

God establishes a relationship with people on the basis of faith. With other ancient religions and cultures, sacrifices were made by people for their gods. This story reverses that, showing that the sacrifice is made by God for His people! This story powerfully points to God establishing His covenant through the sacrifice of Jesus.
