Jacob's Well Church

Listen to find out what this is, this thing that changes everything... lol

Created in the Image of God. The radical realigning of relationships that was taught by the Apostle Paul challenged both the Roman family codes as well as the Jewish family codes. These same teachings should challenge us today– shifting from power, honor, class and sex distinctions to inclusion, equality, and unity. Leadership is redefined based on service and sacrifice. The Gospel reveals a radical new vision for all human relationships!

Title: Work As Worship

What does it look like to find delight in meaningful work? How do we serve as if we are working for King Jesus? 

Ever wake up Monday morning with anxiety, dread, stress, and even anger towards your work? Is the best part of your work walking out the door and seeing your work in the rearview mirror? A Gallup survey discovered that of the 1 billion full time workers in the world only 15% are engaged, that means that 85% are unengaged– they go to work stressed, anxious, and angry and feel unfulfilled and unsatisfied with their work. So, if you feel any of these things you are not alone! But what if– what if there was a shift you could make to fill this Monday with fulfillment and joyful purpose? And what if this shift doesn’t mean changing jobs, or bosses, or co-workers? What if the shift is intentionally living your life IN Christ? Would that really change your work? We think, yes! Living your life IN Christ unlocks fulfillment and joyful purpose in ALL you do!

Living like Jesus takes on a whole new meaning when we’re tired, stressed and stretched thin. How do we choose to live when the going gets tough?

What would you be willing to do to create a new you? To be in Christ is to live in Christ, by putting on the new self.

Paul and Shua tip toe into philosophy this week discovering the Self and how the Bible redefines it. 

We stand in Christ when we put away what we used to be, to put on our NEW self, choosing the way of Christ in whatever we do. To BE in Christ is to LIVE in Christ– by putting away the old self.

How do we find peace with Jesus at the center of our lives when this world is constantly pulling us to extremes?

The way of Jesus stands in opposition to the wisdom of the world. When we are feeling overwhelmed with attacks on the Gospel we return to the simple Gospel. As followers we stand in Christ on the Gospel of peace, hope and love.
