The Everyday Gospel: A Theology of Washing the Dishes

It can sometimes be difficult to see the link between our Sunday worship and the Monday morning grind.

So how can our relationship with Jesus impact how we live and serve in our daily lives?

Tim Chester unpacks how we can relate the Holy to the everyday. He explores how seemingly inconsequential tasks can point us to Jesus. This detailed exploration considers how even washing the dishes can be done to the glory of God as part of a whole life lived in sacrifice to Him. Wonderfully, this doesn’t have to be a depressing or dismal thing, but can leave us marvelling again at God’s goodness and grace.
