Jesus. Week 2 Teaching

In this teaching, we hear Pastor Karen talk about the first recorded words from Jesus and how these words he spoke can guide us in the year 2023.

Why do we eat Doritos? Why do we look at social media? Why do we sleep in? Why do we waste money? Why do we imitate trends on social media? What motivates us to do certain things?

To better understand how we are motivated Pastor Karen explained this equation.

Motivation = Expectancy + Value - Cost

Expectancy is the belief that you can do a behavior and achieve a result.

Value is the perception that a task is rewarding or useful.

Cost is the sense that what you're doing causes some kind of pain.

Jesus' first recorded words are "Didn't you know I must be about my Father's business?" In this statement, he is revealing to us what motivates him. Everything he does is to fulfill his Father's business. Like Jesus, we should live our life through this lens.

This year, when people ask you why you do something will your answer be "Didn't you know I must be about my Father's Business?"
