Working  

2/5/2023 | Pastor Derek | Colossians 3:22-24  

Big Idea – We honor God with our faithful work. 

3 ways work benefits you:  

• It allows you to provide for your family.  
• It develops your character.  
• It gives you an outlet for the skills God has entrusted to you.  

3 Ways to Connect Your Work to God’s Work 

1. Make every job worshipful (:23a) Whatever you do… 
2. Work hard (:23) work heartily  

 Practical characteristics of diligent workers:  

• Show up on time.  
• Clarify what is expected  
• Exceed expectations regularly and joyfully.  
• Play nice with fellow workers.  
• Honor their supervisors. 
• Admit mistakes.  
• Share the credit with teammates.  

 3. God is your true boss (:23-24) as for the Lord and not for men 

Four New Bottom Lines:  

• Who can I demonstrate God’s love to at work?   
• How can my community be better served by what I do?  
• How can I model excellence and hard work to those I work with?  
• How can my God-given gifts be maximized in my current position?  

Next step: Pray “God, help me to understand how my work is connected to you.”
