Faith & Work: An Uneasy Alliance – A Forum for Spiritual Formation – 4 of 8 SERMON SUMMARY Many Christians have created a dichotomy between the sacred and the secular, between their private “faith life” and their public “work life.” “Sacred” (Spiritual Life) v “Secular” (Work Life) But that is not God’s intention. There is no…
Faith & Work: An Uneasy Alliance – Viewing Work through the Lens of the Great Commandment – 3 of 8 SERMON SUMMARY “There is what I do on Sunday, and then there is what I do during the week. There is my private faith life, and then there is my public work life, and they…
SERMON SUMMARY In God’s eyes, our work should be an expression of our worship. God wants us to submit every area of our lives to Christ’s lordship. As a Christian, you don’t belong to yourself any longer. Christ is your master—twice over! God created us, and then, in Christ, He redeemed us (1 Corinthians 6:20).…
SERMON SUMMARY Every week many people go to work without seeing the slightest connection between what they do all day and what they think God wants done in the world.

Proverbs says there are several things that…
SERMON SUMMARY We often find ourselves in situations where there is no “black and white, clear cut answer” as to what we should do—we have to decide between good and better, or between bad and worse. We need wisdom to help us navigate through this murkiness. Today I want to talk about a kind of…
SERMON SUMMARY According to the Book of Proverbs there are really only two paths in life: the path of wisdom and the path of folly. If you step away from wisdom, you don’t find yourself on morally neutral ground, but rather on the path of the fool. In Proverbs, Solomon asks 70 times: “Are you…
SERMON SUMMARY A good title for the book of Proverbs would be, “Life for Dummies.” The book of Proverbs speaks to us so practically, each proverb is brief (often less than 25 words) and they’re memorable. They get to the heart of the matter. I encourage you to make the book of Proverbs a part…
