Curriculum Overview

The story of the Bible has profound implications for our daily work and lives. As we trace the story of the Bible we will zoom in on the theme of calling, exploring what it means to be called by God to participate in his work of renewing all things. Throughout the course of these five weeks, we hope to demystify this concept and deepen your understanding of everyday work so that you may develop a clearer sense of God’s calling for your life and vocation.

Class 1: February 26

Called by God

Exploring the creation narrative in Genesis 1, we’ll consider God's original call to cultivate the world.

Class 2: March 4

Calling Disrupted

After God called humans to cultivate the world, sin entered the scene, disrupting our relationships with God, the world, and our work.

Class 3: March 11

Calling Restored

Despite our fallen condition, Jesus took on human flesh to bring about God's plan for redemption and to restore our original calling.

Class 4: March 18

Called to Rest

Just as we've been called to work, God's followers have always been set apart as people who rest.

Class 5: March 25

Calling Fulfilled

Micah told of a future of peace and economic flourishing and in Revelation we see Jesus on the throne declaring that he is making all things new. How do we live now in light of these realities?
