Speaker: Michael Gatlin
This Advent season, we’ve talked about how God comes to us as a humble king of hope, peace, and joy. This week, we’re talking about how God also comes to us as a humble king of love and answering the question, what is God’s love really like?
This Advent, we’re focusing on welcoming Christ into our lives as the Humble King. A key part of the story of the birth of Jesus, of God coming to earth, is Joy! So how do we open up the door to more joy in our lives this holiday season?
Michael talks with us about how God has always invited us into rest as one part of a healthy and flourishing life.
Michael shares about the way God calls and specifically gifts us to do certain things, and the way you and I are meant to collaborate with God no matter our specific job.
Jesus invites us saying “Come, follow me, and I will make you…”. So what is God making you? Michael explores this passage in Matthew 4 and explains how God has created us with unique gifts which, if we follow Him, will be used to fulfill our innermost desires.
We’ve often read the parable of the sheep and the goals from Matthew 25 as only referring to special acts of giving and serving the poor, but what if Jesus seems is relating our entire eternal destiny to how we serve others through our work.
Monday is the new Sunday! The workplace is the primary place where we can live out our faith. Michael uses the basic storyline of the Bible to show us a new and beautiful way we can approach our work.
