This week Justin looks at the book of Ecclesiastes and examines why our work often feels meaningless. There is, as the Preacher of Ecclesiastes says, "nothing new under the sun." When we have appropriate expectations for our work, we can avoid both idealism and cynicism when it comes to our callings.

Episode 5 ~ Problems with Work Part 2: Work Becomes Futile & Pointless

The majority of the Christian life is spent not at church but in the world, and yet so many struggle to understand how their faith connects to their work, whether paid or unpaid, inside or outside of the home. In this seven-week course, Justin will examine the Scriptures to show that God cares about every single sphere of life––in fact, He has created humanity in His image to work.  This class will seek to provide a holistic definition of work, offer an overall framework for how Christians should understand their work, and give some practical ways that Christians can honor God and serve others through their work.
