Created to Cultivate

Work begins with God. Before sin entered the world, God placed humanity in His creation with a calling: to cultivate, create, steward, and serve. Work is not primarily about earning money or proving worth—it is about imaging God and participating in His work in the world. Whether you work with your hands or through relationships, ideas, caregiving, creativity, or strategic leadership, your work participates in the goodness of God’s world and contributes to the flourishing of others.

This seventh installation of “Be with Jesus and Follow His Way of Life” continues our semiannual preaching series, where we revisit our vision for discipleship to Jesus with a focus on a particular practice.

This fall marks our sixth installation of “Be with Jesus and Follow His Way of Life,” a semiannual preaching series where we revisit our vision for discipleship to Jesus (with a focus on a particular practice).

But first, what is that vision for discipleship? Park Church exists to make disciples of Jesus for the glory of God and the joy of all people. What’s a disciple? A disciple is someone who has been reconciled to God by grace through faith in Christ and is learning to be with Jesus and follow His way of life.

This particular installation of the series is simply called “Rest” and is aimed at helping disciples of Jesus learn more about what it means to “be with Jesus” by helping us grow in our practices of rest and Sabbath. This mini-series precedes its sibling, “Work,” which we’ll visit in January 2026.
