Work... When you hear the word work, what type of emotions do you experience? Do you immediately feel a sense of internal anxiety? Do you feel a sense of exhaustion or discouragement?
Work was designed by God to be a gift to humanity, to provide a sense of fulfilment and worship. But when sin entered the world, God's design for work was fractured. What once brought life and joy now often is the source for stress and unhealthiness. However, when Jesus entered the world, He turned back the curse of sin and began the work of redemption. Part of His redeeming work is the redemption of work itself.
This week, James is going to teach us that saving faith in Jesus is evidenced by a renewed desire for work. But not just any work, rather, a desire to do the work of our Father. Join us this Sunday as we continue to learn about the transforming effects of real faith in Christ.
