Genesis 6:5-9:10

Judgement is real. But so is God’s grace. Out of the chaos of a broken world, God is renewing his creation for His good and perfect purpose. 

Genesis 3

The human choice of autonomy by breaking God’s loving boundaries changed the world, and it was not good. But Jesus offers us the pathway back into the good life that God intended for us. 

Genesis 1:1-2:3
God spoke all things into existence, and it was good.

John 1:9-14
We have the promise of the one named Jesus: the living God with us! 

The promise of Jesus is a promise of hope and security in God our true refuge.

The promise of Jesus is a promise of the protective and loving care of God our true Shepherd.

The promise of Jesus is a promise of the perfect and peaceful reign of God our true King.

Barnabas Missions is WMB’s expression of local outreach. Your generous giving to our Barnabas fund empowers people in our community who are marginalized – those experiencing poverty, refugees and new Canadians – to move toward long-term, holistic well-being. Through this year’s special offering, we aim to raise $315,000 to fund our ministries that provide practical and relational support to hundreds of people in our community. We will have a special Barnabas offering service on November 26. 

Through Jesus, we partner in God’s work of redeeming “all things” in His Creation, which includes our work, workplace, communities and industries.  We do our best work when we seek alignment with our abilities and God’s purposes, and serve with faithfulness even when we find work situations difficult and disappointing.

November 12, 2023 | Genesis 1-2

God, in His creative work, has designed a world for human flourishing. Our calling is to partner with God in making that come about including through our abilities, work and careers. Our work matters because God has designed us for this purpose.
