Research shows that the majority of Americans don't enjoy and aren't satisfied by our jobs. Dr. Conrad of the GLR challenges us - what would happen if we allowed God to move us into the other camp? To do this we must understand that all ethical work is sacred and deeply matters to God; and that we are ambassadors of Jesus in the workplace.

This weekend we're learning from Moses - specifically, from the end of his life in Deuteronomy 34. This text brings up a scary possibility that we could work long and hard toward a dream, and at the end, God might say we won't see it finished. But notice that Moses didn't plead with God to allow him into the Promised Land. Might it be that after his long life with God, he realized that the presence of God was the real thing worth chasing after?

In John 14:6-7, Jesus makes what is perhaps his most counter-cultural "I Am" statement. As "the way, the truth and the life", Jesus doesn't just show us the way to the Father - He IS the way to the Father. As His followers, we must be obedient to His way and connected to His truth in order to bring about His life. And as we share this with others, we have the privilege to use God's living and active words from scripture.

Have you ever felt like your life isn't producing the fruit you thought it would? In John 15, we see Jesus describe himself to his disciples as the "true vine". He says that remaining in Him - abiding with Him - is the key to living a fruitful life that glorifies the Father. How do you sense He wants you to draw closer to Him in this season?

There is a strange and compelling power of Jesus's sacrificial and all-encompassing love. This beauty is what Jesus is referring to when, in John 10, he calls himself "the good shepherd". As His sheep, we should emulate Him in laying down our lives for others.

Might pursuing a life of safety on our own hold us back from experiencing the life God has for us?



Many of us think that we can create a life of safety and security through our own means. With enough planning and smart decisions, we will be safe. But in John 10, Jesus tells us that He is the shepherd who we go through for refuge and protection in the world. In week 4 of our "I Am" series, we learn that recognizing Jesus's voice and following Him is what give us life to the fullest. Other things that promise safety are illusions - it is only found in Him.



Scripture References: John 10, Psalm 23
