There are two kinds of work, that which is spiritual, being a pastor or a missionary, and that which is secular, a real estate agent, delivery driver, or waiter. Is this true? Not according to Scripture. We’ll continue our exploration of a Biblical view of work in this study.

Are you a slave? No? Okay, but before you dismiss this passage, let’s take a few minutes to flush out some rich parallels between the attitude Paul was encouraging his letter-readers to adopt, and ways we can elevate our thinking about our work today.

Who’s in charge? This question is asked during frantic times of crisis, but according to the Bible, it needs to be asked in the context of family. The topic of discipline has become a flashpoint in society, which is why it’s important to see what Scripture has to say. We’ll do just that in this study.

We’re looked at how God does not give up on us. This passage provides ten promises that demonstrate that enduring love. But what are the implications of that persistent love in our efforts to face challenges? Is it possible for us to fail so massively that we cannot be restored? How do we glean hope out of the rubble of what we’ve done? The prophet has good news for us.

What is holiness? How do we get there? Perhaps it conjures up an image of separation, being above those around us, those considered “unholy.” The pursuit of holiness is a recognized goal, but less known is the “how” of holiness. We’ll look at that in this study.

It’s sometimes thought that as one becomes more holy, one becomes more out of place in our world. From one perspective, that may be true, but what about from the perspective of eternity? Is a journey towards holiness actually a natural progression? We’ll look at that question in this study.

A prophet looks ahead. A prophet of hope anticipates good things ahead. If we’ve failed miserably, can we still anticipate good things ahead? Is it possible to fail so miserably that we’re outside the realm of hope? Our objective is to gain a perspective of how our failure measures up to God’s promises and love.
