Intelligent Faith: What kind of WORK do we want?

City Church San Francisco

In this sermon, Pastor Emily McGinley reflects on a biblical passage involving a landowner hiring workers at different times and paying them the same wage, causing discomfort and raising questions about fairness.

Drawing parallels to the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce, McGinley explores the broader questions it raises about the kind of world we want to build, the legacy we want to leave, and the nature of work. She emphasizes the concept of Christian vocation, stating that it is not determined by career growth but by spiritual growth, and encourages listeners to consider how they embody God's claim on their lives.

McGinley acknowledges the anxieties associated with job replacement due to advancements in AI but sees it as an opportunity for individuals to reflect on their Christian vocation and consider how they contribute to God's work. She urges listeners to focus on internal shifts and asks thought-provoking questions about transformation, relationship with others, and living out God's grace.
