Do you ever feel like one of Snow White's Seven Dwarves, marching off day after day to the endless, meaningless, unfulfilling drudgery of that 4-letter word "WORK?"
HIM's HONOLULU 2015 preconference session on WORK can help you gain perspective!
HONOLULU 2015, March 19, 2015 | 9 am - 4 pm | Hawaii Convention Center
Led by businessman Andy Mills, co-chair of the Theology of Work project and senior fellow at The King's College in New York City, this interactive session will take you out of the salt mines to develop a rich Kingdom minded understanding that redeems your WORK.
Session 1 - The Problem of
Work
70% of people working are not engaged by the
work they do and Christians are no exception. What are the problems we have
with work? What are the specific problems that Christians have? Why do so many
of us feel like second class citizens in the Christian world? This first
session will look at these issues and help us understand the issues surrounding
the workplace.
Does God have a specific purpose for work? Does God have a vision for work? Does God have roles for each of us to play? Is work a calling? Unless we understand God's vision for work, how can we fully engage in the workplace in a way that is consistent with His will for our lives? This session will look at what Scriptures has to say about God's basic vision for work so that we can be properly oriented in the marketplace.
Session 3 - How Should We Work?
Once we understand God's vision for work and our role in it, are there specific ways that God wants us to work? How does God evaluate our performance? How might Christians think differently about working with others? This session will highlight several Scriptural themes that will help you think about "how" we should work.
Session 4 - The Impact Of Work
Finally we will take time to look at the Impact of Work? How does work impact human flourishing? What benefits does it bring? How can work help us love our neighbor? Is work a platform for evangelism? How do we think about wealth and influence that work might bring?
Each session will comprise a prepared presentation and an expansive Q&A Session that will allow for plentiful interaction.
