Genesis 12-33

The work life of Abraham and Sarah, their son Isaac and his family, and Isaac's sons Esau and Jacob from this second part of Genesis. Here we come alongside the first generations of a people who struggle to make a living, endure social upheaval, raise children in safety, and remain faithful to God. Their story is surely similar to our own experiences. As we follow today in their footsteps, our work also be a blessing to those around us. This Bible Study Is Part of The Bible And Your Work Study Series. Each book contains Scripture references, thought-provoking questions, and prayers to help you explore what the Bible Says about work and apply it to your life in positive, practical ways. The lessons in each chapter are designed for thirty-minute lunch breaks, although they can be used in other formats as well. The Theology of work Project is a resource to help you apply the Scriptures and Christian faith to your work. It includes wisdom from over 140 contributors from sixteen countries who attest that although we often find ourselves frustrated, exploited, or underappreciated as we work, God didn't intend it to be toilsome. So what was God's original plan for work? How do we claim our divine calling to work? Why does your work matter to God? By exploring the topic from Genesis to Revelation, we see a theology of work that shows us how to support ourselves, serve others, and find value in our vocations. Learn more at theologyofwork.org.
