Speaker: Jacob Smith Scripture: Proverbs 12 Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson According to Proverbs 12.18, our words have the power to create incredible joy or incredible sorrow in the lives around us. We've all seen their ability to encourage or discourage; to fix a relationship or break it; to heal or destroy. So how do we avoid reckless words that cut like a sword and instead use wise words to bring healing? PowerPoint Slides

Speaker: Jacob Smith Scripture: 2 Kings 2 Series: Faith@Work Series Order: 06 Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson We are studying the role of Faith at Work because the Lord desires that every believer would walk and work by faith.

PowerPoint Slides

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Isaiah 60 Series: Faith@Work Series Order: 06 Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood Despite the great difficulty of work, we look forward to a future in the new heavens and new earth that will likely involve work.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Genesis 3:17-19 Series: Faith@Work Series Order: 05 Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood Despite the divine design and dignity to human work, our experience of work reveals its great difficulty as well.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 4:10-12 Series: Faith@Work Series Order: 04 Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood The dignity of work can be demonstrated by the cause (or motivation) behind our work.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Genesis 1-4 Series: Faith@Work Series Order: 03 Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood The dignity of work can most clearly be demonstrated by human creativity within work.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Genesis 1-2 Series: Faith@Work Series Order: 02 Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood The opening Creation narrative in Genesis 1-2 demonstrates that God not only worked Himself but He entrusted work as a gift to Adam and Eve. As a result, there is a divine design to human work as humans form a human partnership with one another and a divine partnership with God in their work. Similarly, the Church carries the same charge to work as a means to impact its city and community today. PowerPoint Slides
