Farriea looks at why raising the next generation is important work that belongs to the whole church, not just parents. She talks about how children are a gift from God and how we all have a part to play in supporting them and helping them grow in faith.

Joe looks at how the story of the Tower of Babel challenges us to think about why we do the work we do. Rather than being driven by a desire for recognition or security, he encourages us to approach our work as a way to serve others and honour God.

Andrew looks at how our work creates wealth and why that's a good thing when it benefits others as well as ourselves. Drawing from Ecclesiastes, he explains how we can approach our work wisely, knowing that God is at work through what we do.

Joe looks at why work can often feel difficult and frustrating even though it is a gift from God. He talks about the danger of making work our identity and seeing our everyday work as worship to God can change the way we approach it.

In the opening message of our Good Work series, Andrew Wilson explores God’s purpose for work and why it matters far beyond paid employment. Looking at Genesis 1–2, he shows how work is a gift from God: a way to use our time and abilities to serve others, contribute to human flourishing and glorify God. Andrew also considers the danger of looking to our work for our identity, reminding us that our worth is secured not by what we achieve, but by the finished work of Jesus.
