Sermon Notes

1. LET YOUR WORK HONOR GOD

Colossians 3:23-25 (MSG) 23 Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, 24 confident that you'll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you're serving is Christ. 25 The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible. Being Christian doesn't cover up bad work.

2.  WORK WHOLEHEARTEDLY 

Ecclesiastes 9:10a (NCV) Whatever work you do, do your best.

Genesis 24:1 (NCV) Abraham was now very old, and the Lord had blessed him in every way. 

3.  MAKE WORK YOUR CALLING 

  • A Job
  • A Career
  • A Calling

Exodus 31:2-5 (NIV) 2 "See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts-- 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship.

4.  SERVE GOD THROUGH YOUR WORK

Colossians 3:23 (NIV) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.

  • Ask God to make your work go well each day.
  • Continually seek to identify and develop your God given strengths rather than focusing on improving your weaknesses.
  • Take short breaks during the day to relax, refresh and ask God for strength.
  • Periodically review your attitude – get water for the camels.
  • Solicit feedback on how you can grow.
  • Make friends with the people you work with.
  • Seek to enjoy your work.
