We explore how boredom in the mundane moments of life can lead to spiritual forgetfulness. When our daily routines feel repetitive, we may struggle to see their significance in God's greater plan. But what if every moment—no matter how ordinary—was an opportunity to dwell with God and live on mission? We’ll discuss how the gospel reframes our perspective, helping us embrace faithfulness in the small things.


Main Takeaways:
  • Boredom can deceive us into believing our work doesn’t have value, because we have been trained to look for immediate results.
  • The gospel is not just about what we are saved from—it’s about what we are saved to, transforming the ordinary into moments sacred moments lived with and for God. 
  • To overcome spiritual boredom, we must be intentional about our witness, remembering our Savior, and guarding our God-given assignment.
Reflection Question:
What has God entrusted to your care, and what could He do through you if you were faithful with your assignment?
