- How do we worship Jesus through our work?
1.What you do matters (Genesis 2:15)
-Work is part of God’s good design.
-No work is too ordinary to matter.
2. How you work matters (Colossians 3:22–23)
-Work “not only when their eye is on you… but with sincerity of heart”.
-Two extremes – overworking & underworking.
-What is driving you?
3. Who you work for matters (Colossians 3:24-4:1)
-It is the Lord Christ you’re serving.
4. Our response
-Doing good, even when nobody’s watching.
-What would it look like to trust him with your career, your successes and your disappointments?
-Devote yourself to prayer: prayer is our greatest work (Colossians 4:2)
