Work

A 40-day devotional journey through Mark’s Gospel – designed to help you see Jesus afresh and deepen your wonder at God at work in the world. Each day, there’s a ‘First Thought’ to stimulate your own, a question from the day’s passage to chew over, a prompt to consider your response in your context, and a short prayer to conclude.

Mark: Living the Way of Jesus in the World

Whether you are a classroom teacher, homeschooling Mom, Sunday School teacher, or small group leader, I want to share what a good friend reminded me when I packed up my classroom. “We are all teachers.  We define our classrooms.”
 
No matter what your classroom looks like, I pray these daily devotions will encourage you and strengthen you as you fix your eyes on the ultimate Teacher.

5 Daily Devotions to Encourage Teachers

We live in a world where to be seen is to be known and to be known is to have influence… or so we’re told. Leadership without a spotlight doesn’t make you any less of a leader, and it doesn’t make your calling any less important or impactful. Join us over the next three days as we learn how to lead in obscurity from a man named Bezalel.

How to Lead When You're Behind the Scenes 

This 4-day plan weaves Scripture together with C. S. Lewis’s own words to show how the redemptive work of Christ led Lewis to embrace his own vocation as a means of telling redemptive stories. As we will see modeled in the life of Lewis, the gospel changes everything about our work, from our motivations for work, to what we create, to how we work each day.

C.S. Lewis And The Call To Create

This devotional explores the life, faith, work, and legacy of Lydia of Philippi. Lydia’s resume includes: first person in Europe to place their faith in Christ; co-founder of the Philippian church with Paul; host of the growing home church; Paul’s co-worker in spreading the Gospel; and successful businesswoman trading in luxury goods. Lydia’s story reveals God’s desire to use the passions, gifting, and experience of women in their daily workplaces.

As a law enforcement officer, you are on the front lines of painful events. Your work in public service is more than a job. How does the Bible inform your calling? How can it help you bear the heavy burden of the loss, tragedy, and evil that you witness?

Strength For The Street

In this devotional, Dr. David Mende writes that since we spend so many hours at the workplace every day, God is concerned about our work and He’s at work even as we work. He doesn’t want us to see our work as drudgery. Rather, He wants us to give our best as we work.

God At Work

Do you have ideas for change but feel powerless to implement them? Do you respect your leaders’ authority but yearn for them to see your vision? Leadership is not position. It’s influence. Learn from Jonathan, Amos, Joseph, David, and Jesus how to spark transformation. Regardless of your title, age, or qualifications, God has positioned you to make a difference. This devotional is by Influence coauthors Philip Morrison and Hankuri Gaya.
