Passage: Luke 14:7-34
Summary: The death of Christ was a self-sacrifice made by the perfect and holy Son of God, so that we may have eternal life through Him. This death and life paradox teaches us that we must be willing to sacrifice our desires, and even ourselves if we truly are following Christ. We do not do this in sorrow and remorse, but have inexplicable joy that comes only from the strength and power of Christ in us. Commit yourself to Him, and see with the eyes of your heart what is the immeasurable greatness of Christ's provision for us through His sacrifice on the cross, and in our lives every day!

Passage: Luke 13:1-14:6
Summary: If we want to belong to the eternal Kingdom of God, we must repent and believe in Christ. We must have faith in His perfect atonement for us at the cross, and trust in His strength and not our own. Believe, and have the eyes of your heart opened to the glorious work He has for you in this life, and the immeasurable riches awaiting you in the life to come!

Passage: Luke 12:35-59
Summary: In this passage of Luke, we are reminded that tomorrow is never promised to us, and that we should be living our lives accordingly. Christ commands us to be ready stewards, demonstrating our wise obedience to Him and His work for us on this earth. He never promises that this obedience will be easy for us, rather, it may cost us a great many sacrifices in this life.

Passage: Luke 12:4-34
Summary: There are many circumstances that can cause anxiety and fear in our lives. As disciples of Christ, we should ultimately put our faith in Him to provide for us even in times of great difficulty, knowing that He has already given us the greatest gift in salvation. We can be stewards of the gifts that God grants us by giving our time, effort, and wealth in working for His Kingdom!

Passage: John 17:1-5
Summary: The work of Christ was done perfectly, so that the Father would be glorified, and man could enter into eternal life. When we follow Christ, we become motivated and energized to follow in His footsteps of glorifying the Father in our own work. Even though we can never accomplish this perfectly like Christ, The Spirit grants us the strength, boldness, and direction to perform our work greatly, and to go into our lives sharing the Gospel with co-workers, friends, and family.

Passage: Jeremiah 29:1-7
Summary: When we are saved into Christ, we are sealed as eternal members in God's Kingdom. While the perfect city of God awaits us, we can work and pray for our fellow inhabitants in the city of man to become citizens of Heaven. Let's be the tools that God uses to cultivate and grow a new generation of believers and do all our work to the praise of His Glory!

Passage: 1 Peter 4:7-11
Summary: Have you ever thought to yourself, "What is my purpose in life, what am I called to do?" The bible teaches us that all of our work, regardless of the occupation, can be to the glory of God and to the spreading of His kingdom on earth. Let's turn our work into service towards others, and fulfill our roles as member's of the church body, spreading the truth and love of God wherever we work!

Speaker: Tanner Turley
Passage: Genesis 1-3
Summary: God has been working since before the foundations of the world, and since we are created in His image, that means we are made to work as well. However, because of the fall, work has become corrupted, and we often turn it into an idol in our lives, despite the fact that it leaves no lasting satisfaction, and even adds to our levels of stress and anxiety. Make the commitment to living your life for God, and find that lasting fulfillment in every aspect of your life, including work!

Category: Gospel, Legalism
Speaker: Jon Chasteen
Passage: Luke 11:37-12:3
Summary: Following Christ does not mean we need to follow a legalistic twelve step program of salvation. The Gospel cleanses our hearts, removes our burdens, and unlocks the answers to scripture, while religion becomes a test of man's ability to be 'good enough.' If you want to find assurance of God's Grace in your life, then turn to the pages of the Gospel, and listen to the words of Christ, His truth shall set you free!

Passage: Luke 11:27-36
Summary: Christ tells us that true blessedness comes from both the hearing and the keeping of God's word. God has revealed himself to us throughout scripture and has called us to examine His word, store it in our hearts, and live according to the example that Christ has set. When we do keep His word, we become a light in the midst of darkness, revealing the knowledge of His righteousness and love to all.
