   Made for Rest with Josh Liem

   Made for Rest with Josh Liem Genesis 1:31-2:3; Deuteronomy 5:12-15 In 1930, the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that by now technology would have us working fifteen hours a week.  So why are we busier than ever? This Thanksgiving Sunday, as we continue our series Being Human (in an AI Age), we turn to one of the oldest and strangest gifts in Scripture: a day when nothing gets done. From Pharaoh’s storehouses to manna in the wilderness, we’ll ask what Sabbath rest has to say to a world that never logs off.

   The Vocation of Reconciliation with Josh Liem

   The Vocation of Reconciliation with Josh Liem 2 Corinthians 5:14-6:2 If a machine can do what you were trained to do, faster and cheaper, what are you here for? This Sunday we turn to 2 Corinthians 5, where Paul answers critics who ranked him as unimpressive, and discover that our first calling is not a career but the ministry of reconciliation. Come wrestle with what makes work meaningful and human. For reflection & discussion: What was the first job you ever had, and what's one thing it taught you that you still carry? Paul says believers have been reconciled to God, yet pleads with them to "be reconciled to God." How do you make sense of both being true? Where are you most tempted to measure yourself, or others, by an "outward human point of view": productivity, appearance, income, followers, or comparison against AI? Who in this group has a clear sense of their calling, and how did they come to it? Share stories of nudges, catastrophes, or slow realizations that clarified what life was asking of you. Where do you feel energy in your soul to work?  Is it a specific problem, relationship, tension, injustice, creative endeavour, or something else?  Would anyone here affirm these hints of a calling or shape of ministry of reconciliation? Paul's tentmaking was a deliberate choice that served his ministry. How might your day job, or your daily responsibilities if you aren't employed, become a place where reconciliation actually happens between people, or between people and God? Many people in our city are anxious about AI and the future of work. Is there someone in your workplace or neighbourhood carrying that anxiety whom you could listen to this week? How might this group help people facing job loss or career change?

   Growing Through Giving with Guest Dr Ed Ng

   Growing Through Giving with Guest Dr Ed Ng Genesis 1:25-27; 2:7, 20-23 In an age of AI companions and increasingly virtual relationships, what constitutes a "real" relationship? Drawing from Genesis and the Christian understanding of the Trinity, this sermon explores what it means to be made in the image of God-is-relationship. Being made in God's image calls us into relationships where we give ourselves, seek the flourishing of others, and discover that, paradoxically, we grow most fully through love. For reflection & discussion: What stood out to you most from the sermon, and why? How does this message challenge or affirm your current understanding of God or faith? Was there a specific story, scripture, or phrase that you found especially meaningful or difficult? How can we live this out together in our daily lives or as a group? What is one step you feel invited to take this week in response to the sermon? Dr. Edward Ng is a Registered Psychologist in private practice in Vancouver and is the founder and director of Eastgate Psychological Services. He provides counselling services to individuals and some couples, and provides consultations for leaders looking for relational and cultural insight.
