In this episode of God Is at Work, Ella Switzer from Tearfund Ireland joins us to explore what it means to see our work as part of God’s wider work of restoration.

Looking at creation, stewardship, climate justice and the impact of climate change on communities living in poverty, Ella reminds us that we are not owners of creation but stewards — invited to work with God for the flourishing of his world and our neighbours.

Drawing on Genesis, Colossians and stories from Tearfund’s work around the world, we consider what it means to live and work as people who recognise that

God is at work — and invite us to join him.

What difference does Jesus make to the way we work?

In this third week of God at Work, Dillis explores how Jesus redeems our work and gives even our ordinary, everyday tasks eternal significance. Because of Christ, we can work with significance, for God’s glory, and from a place of rest and acceptance.

Our work no longer has to be the source of our identity or worth.

Instead, our daily work becomes a response to God’s work in us — an opportunity to love God, serve others, and partner with him in the renewal of all things.

Work is a gift from God, but it is also broken. In this sermon, Scott explores how work can both frustrate and seduce us, drawing from Genesis 1–3 to uncover the tension between finding purpose in our work and allowing it to define us.

Pressures, frustrations and successes of work can also affect our relationships, identity and spiritual well-being. How do we receive work as a gift without asking it to save us? And what happens when a good thing becomes a god?

Through practical examples and biblical teaching, he encourages us to recognise our limitations, hold our achievements lightly and find our worth in God rather than in what we accomplish.

Beginning our new series: God is at Work, Colin starts us off with a sermon on how work isn't a consequence of the Fall; it is part of God's good creation.

God is the first worker of the bible in His creation and He invites us to partner with Him in bringing order, beauty and benefit to the world.

Colin broadens the definition of “work” beyond paid employment as it includes parenting, study, caring, home, retirement and many more.

We titled the series "God is at work" to illustrate how God is with us while we work, He is at our places of work and He is at work within us while we work.

In this sermon from the 11:30 at Holy Trinity Rathmines, Rector Rob Jones introduces us to Pioneer Ministry — a movement within the Church of Ireland seeking to reach people with little or no connection to church, and to explore new ways of being and doing church.

But Pioneer Ministry isn't simply a story happening somewhere else. Its story is deeply connected to Holy Trinity Rathmines. Rob reflects on how the combination of the old and the new here at Holy Trinity helped give birth to a vision that is now reaching across Ireland.

Through stories from pioneers around the country, and a powerful personal testimony, we hear what this looks like on the ground: ordinary people taking the Gospel into new places, building new communities and looking for where God is already at work.

What happens when we come to Jesus carrying years of pain, shame, rejection, or brokenness?

Mark Boobbyer explores the story of the woman who had been suffering from bleeding for 12 years and reached through the crowd simply to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. Her encounter with Jesus brought not only physical healing, but restoration, dignity, and freedom.

Mark invites us to consider the difference between being part of the crowd and actually reaching out to Jesus. What are we carrying that we need to lay down? And what does it mean to trust that Jesus can take our impurity, pain, and brokenness and give us His purity and wholeness in return?

What are you building your life on for significance and security? Looking at the call of Abraham, Jacob explores our temptation to make a name for ourselves and control our own destiny — and the freedom that comes from trusting God instead. We don’t need to see the whole road ahead; we simply need to take the next step with the God who knows us, loves us, and walks with us.

The resurrection of Jesus doesn’t mean bypassing grief—it gives us hope in the middle of it.

This Sunday, Kathleen McAlister shared on John 20, where Mary discovers that the risen Jesus sees her, knows her and welcomes her into a deeper belonging with God.

What might it look like for us to practice resurrection—to grieve, rejoice and join Jesus in the slow work of making all things new?
