Good Work
"To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God."
— Ecclesiastes 5:19
Introduction
The Bible begins with a working week. Before anything else happens, God works: creating, organising, designing, building and delegating. Then he makes people in his image and gives us responsibility for his world. Work matters because it is one of the main ways we worship God, serve our neighbours and help people flourish.
This autumn, GOOD WORK will explore why God made work, what it is for and how we can approach it in a way that honours him. We will consider the gifts and pressures of work: rest and toil, service, ambition, integrity, money, home, stewardship and the hope of work restored in God's new creation. Whether our work is paid or unpaid, public or unseen, all of us have important work to do. May we do it all for the glory of God.
Videos
Videos from the series will become available on this page as we go through the term — Sunday talks, group discussion videos and other material to help us go deeper.
Do check back each week.
Groups & Resources
We really want to encourage everyone to be part of a group this term. During the week, many of our groups will follow the series, helping us connect the Sunday teaching with everyday life through Bible passages, short videos, discussion, practical responses and prayer.
Workbook
The GOOD WORK workbook takes you through the series week by week with Bible passages, questions for discussion, practical responses, prayer points and space for notes.
Your group leader will hand these out as we go through the series. A digital copy is here for reference.
Podcast
We are recording one podcast episode for this series, looking at work in the age of AI.
It will be released in week seven, on our baptism Sunday, and you will be able to watch or listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
Recommended Books
Here are a few books we would recommend to help you think through work and vocation as we go through the series. They are available online from a variety of book shops.
Families and Youth
As well as teaching through the series on Sundays, our kids and youth will be exploring what it means to work hard, work well and use the gifts God has given them.
