Letting the Gospel Transform Your Vision for Work

Join the Teaching Tent on Saturday 25th at 11am for

Letting the Gospel Transform Your Vision for Work with Matt Aroney

The wondrous gospel of God in Christ changes the way we view everything. We are often tempted to live as if our work hours are not touched by this momentous news. However, if we consider the full story of redemption, creation to new creation, we can look at our work differently! We will consider how to use the five-act gospel to make sense of our parts of our work in light of what God has done in Jesus.

A Spiritual Rhythm for Work

Join the Teaching Tent on Saturday 25th at 10am for

A Spiritual Rhythm for Work with Matt Aroney

One way of integrating our faith into the way we work is by considering a basic rhythm to our workday. All workdays have a rhythm to them, perhaps this opens opportunities to engage with God as we walk through the joys and challenges of the day. We will consider some practical approaches for doing just this and leave with some prayers and ideas for consciously working in view of our identity as God's children.
