You know your people best. You know whether or not many of them are integrating their faith and work on a consistent basis. And given that, you probably know that many of the people in your church are struggling to see how their jobs have anything to do with their faith. But, as you know, faith and work ought to be integrated beautifully in the lives of Christians.
This is why we're excited about our new sermon series on faith and work: Don't Waste Your Work.
Many people either hate their job or simply endure it because they have to. Others become workaholics because they find their identity in an occupation or because of a deep-seated obsession with money. This four-week series discovers the Christian theology of work and what that means for those in the church today. While work can often seem like an evil four-letter word, God has formed us to create, build, and steward his creation. Our worship of God does not stop on Sunday but should continue into our workplace Monday–Friday.
Work is one of the first things we see God telling humans to do. It's important. But it's vital we see work in a healthy, biblical, faith-filled way.
So help your congregation to integrate their faith and work. Help them see the purpose in their work. And help them understand that their work can glorify their Heavenly Father.
In the Don't Waste Your Work sermon series, you'll receive a full series guide with teaching points, illustration ideas, and insights. You'll receive small group questions to help your church dive into the topic of faith and work even more throughout the week. You'll also receive presentation and promotional graphics along with PhotoShop layers for customization. All this and more.
