The Stone Table

Most Christians will spend the majority of their waking hours at work.

Yet many of us go through our days with a nagging sense of restlessness, trying to connect P&L reports and KPIs to God's Kingdom.

Know this: Wherever God has placed you, whatever task is in front of you, and whoever is next to you...you have purpose.

The Great Commission was never reserved for pastors and missionaries. It belongs to all of us.

God has strategically scattered His people throughout offices, factories, classrooms, hospitals, construction sites, boardrooms, coffee shops, and businesses of every kind. Not by accident, but on purpose.

This carousel contains some of the most powerful insights shared by global workers at our most recent CBB. Their words remind us that our work, skills, relationships, and influence can all become part of God's mission.

Swipe through. Be challenged. Be encouraged.

And remember:

Your workplace is not separate from God's mission.
Your profession is not a detour from your calling.
And your skills may be the very thing God uses to open doors for the Gospel.

Make Jesus known at work and around the world.

You were never meant to do life alone.

God created us for relationship with Him and with one another. Christian community is part of God's design for our growth and flourishing.

Scripture gives us many reasons why community matters:

1. God created us for relationship (Genesis 2:18)
2. Relationships are a gift (James 1:17)
3. The Church is a family (Psalm 133:1)
4. God shapes us through people (Proverbs 27:17)
5. Relationships reveal God's character (1 Peter 4:8)

If community feels scary, take heart. You don't have to have it all figured out before taking the first step. Some of God's greatest encouragement, growth, and blessings are often found in biblical community.

What if Jesus' miracles were about more than healing?

Every miracle was a glimpse of the world as God intended it to be.

Wherever Jesus went, restoration followed. The blind saw. The sick were healed. The lost were found. Jesus came to restore what sin had broken.

The restoration that began with Christ's first coming will be completed at His second.
