Opening
Make sure everyone is aware of events and opportunities happening at Connections: we have construction projects, youth programs and other opportunities to move forward in your faith!
If your group desires, review each of our 5 previous topics: getting unstuck in our future, faith, finances, families and friendships.
Discussion
Read Ecclesiastes 2:17-23
- Ever felt like this? Still feeling like this? Why do so many get so stuck in work in our day and age? Isn’t work and life supposed to be getting easier? Why does this not seem to be the case?
The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. ~ Genesis 2:15
- What does culture say about work? What does your work place tell you about yourself, your meaning, your life? How does it match up with what the bible tells us?
Read Exodus 20:8-11
- Why is it so important to take rest? What is the difference between rest and sabbath? How can sabbath help us to find more meaning and reward from work?
Whatever work you do, do it for God...
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. ~ 1 Cor. 15:58
Read Matthew 25:14-30
- What does this parable teach us about work? About our lives? About God?
Final thought: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. ~ Ephesians 2:10
Close with a time of prayer for one another.
