You have been sent with purpose. Wherever God has scattered you—your workplace, classroom, neighborhood, home, or community—He has given you opportunities to reflect His character, serve others, and participate in His kingdom work.

Everything we have—and everything we produce—belongs to Him. Give your firstfruits, consecrate your work and gifts to Christ, our true firstfruit.

Our lives should be described as label before labor, purpose before passion, and Christ before all.

In week two of our Work in Progress series, Ryan Brown explores how God uses our everyday work as a vital part of our discipleship. Looking at Paul's words in Colossians, we discover that following Jesus is not confined to Sundays or small groups—it shapes how we live, serve, and relate to others wherever God has placed us. Our work is both a mission field and a means of spiritual growth.

In the opening message of our Work in Progress series, Jeff Norris explores God's design for work from Genesis to Revelation. Far more than a way to earn a living, work is a gift from God and a vital part of His purpose for humanity. Discover how every vocation, role, and season of life can be used to glorify God and participate in His mission for the world.

Suffering is unavoidable, but it doesn’t have to be unspoken. Look at three ways we approach suffering as Christians—with naive optimism, detached stocism, or faithful realism.
