The Gospel at Work: The Implications of the Gospel in Your Vocation and Work
This study was developed to equip young adults to see the work they do as an act of worship and central to the divine purposes of God.
The developers have synthesized some of the best teaching on “work” produced by Disciple Nations Alliance and added their own unique insights to create a rich collection of thought and application. The study inspires you to think in new ways about the work you do whether it’s your 8-5 vocation, decorating your home, or even mowing the lawn.
By Darrow L. Miller
We’ve lost the framework in which it is understood that our lives and work are in relationship – in relationship to God through worship, to others through service, and to creation through stewardship. Our lives and work have largely been separated from their mission, and this ultimately stems from a loss of the biblical worldview.
LifeWork lays out the thought background for each of us to establish a meaningful, integrated understanding of our life and work. Whatever our work or vocation, God calls each of us to a new way of living – fully in His presence.
The Monday Church Course
The Church is not a building or a Sunday-morning activity; it is the Body of Christ on mission in every sphere of society, every day of the week.
The Monday Church course explores the greatest tool God has given you to impact the world: your work. God intends for your daily work to be for the service of man, the blessing of the nations, and the glory of God.
Monday Church provides a biblical framework for each of us to establish a meaningful, integrated understanding of our life and work. Whatever your work or vocation, God calls you to a new way of living – fully in His presence and for His glory. Also available in Spanish and Arabic!
