Everyone experiences work environments that are frustrating because the created order is corrupted and our relationships within the workplace are corrupted. We also work in corrupt ways. We are lazy and disrespectful to employers. Furthermore, rather than stewarding creation as God's representatives, we abuse and mistreat created order. In Christ, work is restored to God's original intent as we perform it uprightly, with aim to His glory, and stewarding His earth in righteousness. http://www.cccgermantown.com/sermon/the-office-and-the-jobsite http://www.cccgermantown.com/mediafiles/the-office-and-the-jobsite.mp3 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:54:16 GMT Matthew Roberts As a result of Adam's rebellion, work in this world is cursed and frustrated.

Christ, the second Adam, restores God's original intent, by defeating death in His resurrection. All those in Christ share in eternal life, which is essentially restoration of Creation before the fall.

The passage in Psalm 15 describes the righteous man who dwells with the Lord. We'll focus on verse 4 which says the righteous man despises a vile person but "honors those who fear the Lord". The Christ centeredness of the passage is that Jesus is the truly righteous man who dwells with the Lord. In Him we are pardoned for how we break verse 4 and through Him we abide with God both now and eternally. http://www.cccgermantown.com/sermon/where-is-the-camera-pointing http://www.cccgermantown.com/mediafiles/where-is-the-camera-pointing.mp3 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:06:25 GMT Matthew Roberts Today I would like to uncover how we praise people with worldly fame, wealth, and influence and to call us towards praising those who take God seriously.

He not only created all things, but He meets the needs of all creation. He provides food, water, and shelter for animals and people.

As our schools began teaching theories of how our planet and solar system came into being and Darwinian evolution, we started questioning the simplicity of what the Bible says.
