Week 1 Devotional - The Word as Labor

Step into the first week of a 52-week journey through Materialist Christianity.

This devotional expands the Sunday sermon The Word as Labor (Genesis 1:1–5; John 1:1–3) into seven days of personal practice.

Each day includes:

Scripture — a short passage to focus your heart.

Reflection — connecting God’s Word to real work and real struggle.

Action/Question — a prompt to live your faith in practice.

Prayer — to carry with you through the day.

Journaling space — to write, wrestle, and remember.

This week reminds us: Nothing that is made is made without the worker.

Your labor bears His image. Even in failure, your work is not wasted.

Use this devotional as daily bread for your quiet time, for small groups, or as inspiration for preaching.
