A latest film series puts faith and work within the highlight

A latest film series from the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (LICC) will explore the worth that God puts on our day by day work, helping Christians understand the importance of offering up their labour as a sacrament.

Developed in partnership with RightNow Media, ‘Does God Care About My Work?’ is a three-episode video resource featuring LICC’s Mission Champion Mark Greene, who unpacks what the Bible has to say about God’s attitude to work, and its place within the Christian life.

Using Biblical stories and contemporary examples, the series goals to encourage Christians to exhibit their Christian faith within the work they do daily, each in the best way they interact with those they arrive into contact with of their workplace and within the attitude they create to carrying out their jobs.

According to LICC, church culture prioritises prayer meetings and church activities over work, whether that’s paid or unpaid, leading Christians to treat it as an afterthought, something to be gotten out of the best way in order that they will get on with the ‘real’ work of Christian activities.

The resource highlights the Biblical truths that show God cares deeply in regards to the specific work we do and the best way we do it. Applying these truths across a variety of various kinds of labour, Mark portrays God as a ’employee’, whose labour brings order, provides, creates joy and wonder, and releases potential—calling on Christians to make use of this as their model.

“This is a liberating and energising truth for people in so many differing types of labor – from home tasks to accommodate constructing, and from cooking in a restaurant to coding in a tech company,” Greene says.

“I’m so excited to see many more people discover that their work really matters to God and contributes to his glorious mission.”

LICC’s mission is to equip Christians with the vision and tools required to live out their faith of their day-to-day lives, taking it from the church out into their workplaces and schools, at home and on the pub, and on the gym and on social media.
