"Work and Rest God's Way is a refreshing reminder that work is biblical, created, and ordained by God. The book opens the reader's eyes to the benefits of work, both spiritually and physically. It emphasizes the detriments of laziness from a spiritual standpoint. The book incorporates many godly, biblical principles and parables that encompass the essence of God’s design of work and the satisfaction that follows. Author Scott LaPierre does a phenomenal job of incorporating real-life experience drawn from being a former army officer, elementary school teacher, father of nine, husband, and ministry leader. The way he pastors through his writing in addition to providing real-life experience is an equal balance that delights readers.
Many scripture references in addition to valuable parables are incorporated into his writing to support the point that work is biblical, can be healthy, and even enjoyable when approached through the lens of God’s original design. Scott LaPierre leaves the reader feeling encouraged and ready to conquer daily tasks with enthusiasm, a sense of diligence, and a “working for the Lord” mindset. Rest is also a major component and theme of the book. Without rest, the amount of time spent working is left unchecked and can be damaging to one’s health spiritually, familially, mentally, and physically. On the seventh day, God rested. LaPierre incorporates practical ways to weave rest into one’s life. Work and Rest God’s Way is a literary treatise that unfolds the essence of what it means to have a healthy work and rest life balance from a biblical perspective."

Exodus 12 and Luke 23 connect in a powerful way: Jesus the Passover Lamb is examined publicly and declared innocent—yet still punished so the guilty can go free. This message highlights the necessity of a spotless substitute and the sobering reality that affirming truth about Jesus isn’t the same as saving faith.

Sermon:
The humility of Christ is one of the most astonishing truths in all of Scripture.
Though Jesus is fully God, He did not come into the world displaying royal splendor. He was born in poverty, raised in obscurity, rejected by His own people, mocked as a king, and crucified on a cross—yet He never stopped being King.
In this message from Philippians 2, I explore what Scripture teaches about Christ’s humility, the Incarnation, and why Jesus laid aside His visible glory without surrendering His deity or authority.
