WHY BUILD COMMUNITY AT WORK & BUSINESS?
Most of us invest more time at work and/or working on our business then we do anything else during our waking hours. Our faith is not just designed to be lived out on Sunday morning, during classes or in small group, but our faith is designed to be lived out all day, everyday. Including Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm or whatever time that you do the majority of your work.
How many people recognize that not only do we spend the majority of our time working, but living at our faith at work can be quite challenging. Living out our faith in a seemingly faith-less environment isn't easy. How do we balance being successful and Christ Like. How can we still love our neighbor without getting run over. . .or can we? How do we find the strength to love our neighbor, when our neighbor in the cubicle next to us is in need of grace & mercy?
Work is tough and relationships are tough. Work, Relationships & Family are the things that typically take up our mental & physical labor. It's what's on our hearts, minds and receives most of our time. We are here to create or build a community that encourages, supports, and better equips us to thrive and live out our faith in those areas.
Jesus was excellent at work. . .we know this because He's Jesus.
He was known as a carpenter. . .and since he was Jesus. . .certainly the best carpenter around. In fact His reputation proceeded him. so much so that as Jesus began his gospel ministry. . . most people would say. . . .hey wait. . . isn't that the carpenter.
I would imagine that people would line up for Jesus's work
But yet as proficient as He was in carpentry
Jesus was the best Carpenter the Universe has ever seen. . . yet people didn’t talk about it .. .because the other ways that he impacted people were so much more profound.
There were probably lines. . .around the corner to see and purchase the carpentry of Jesus. Lined up to see his artwork. . .yet and still when they left the encounter. . . .all they could talk about is how He taught, spoke, healed, called out, changed and impacted their lives.
Ultimately we desire to be that impactful in people's lives.
But we'll just start with creating a system where believers in Christ Jesus can form or build a community at the work place, where we can receive the encouragement, support and teaching that we need to better walk out our faith at Work, Relationships & Family. We are committed to Building People, Building Community and ultimately Building Kingdom through living out our faith at work.
