Work | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Genesis 2:5-17

For most adults, the singular formational activity in which we are engaged is our jobs. Which is probably why our work is so fraught with opportunities for difficulty in life. But Genesis 2 lays out a framework for how God intended for his image bearers to think about their work.

Sermon Points:

  • The Sacredness of Our Work
  • The Danger of Our Work
  • The Goal of Our Work

The Bible is a Transforming Power

Sermon Reference: 2 Timothy 3:14-17, Hebrews 4:12-13

Perhaps the reason why we are disinterested in the Bible is because we don’t fully apprehend what the Bible claims to be. The truth is: if you are committed to the status quo in your life, then by all means don’t dive into the transforming power that is the Scripture.
