Express Yourself - Week Eight

August 23, 2026 0 0

Week 8 Everyday glory — Work (begins Sunday 23 August)

There is glory in the grind. The work of our hands, our daily endurance, and our ability to withstand life's storms show that we are made of strong stuff. Human beings are resilient because our existence is sustained by the eternal rock of God’s love. Our daily work has cosmic significance. 

Scripture Focus: Isaiah 51:1-6

  • Core Discussion Question: Isaiah tells us to "look to the rock from which you were hewn." When life feels fragile or exhausting, how and why does knowing your identity is cut from God's eternal strength give you the power to endure? Are there family members or dear friends that inspire us not to give up — knowing their struggles and how they survived?
  • Book: Every Good Endeavour: Connecting Your Work to God's Plan by Timothy Keller
  • Film: The Pursuit of Happyness (A profound story of human endurance, work, and parental love amidst immense hardship)
