  2. Scripture Reading - Col 3:22-24 22Slaves (“Employees” of the economies of biblical times), obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

  3. YOUR JOB IS A COMMITMENT: The Christian as an Employee • Commitment to our WordJames 5:12 • You have given your word. The one who pays you expects your loyalty and diligence. We who receive pay owe them our loyalty and diligence. • Commitment to FamilyITim 5:8 • You owe it to your family to consistently provide for them. You have a commitment to your family as a Christian. • Commitment to GodCol 3:23-24 • Christians have an even greater reason for being committed to their jobs. You are not just serving their employers. You are serving God.

  4. YOUR JOB IS A CAREER: The Christian as a Professional • Challenge to be the bestMatt 5:48 • Mediocrity is not Christian. God knows that we cannot be perfect for as long as we are in this but He still commands us to strive towards perfection. • Challenge to use giftednessMatt 25:14-30 • The parable of the talent. God hates unused talents. Everyone has gifts that must be used. • Challenge to apply Christian principles • God's word applies not just within the church or in the spiritual realm but in the secular situations as well.

  5. YOUR JOB IS A CALLING: The Christian as a Prophet • Every Job Is a Calling • This includes the secular professions. The word, "vocation" comes from a Latin word which literally means "calling." • Every Christian Has a Calling • The Greek word for the church is ekklesia which can mean "called-out ones." • Every Christian Life Is a “Fulltime" Calling • There should not be any "part-time" Christians. Your job is part of a fulltime commitment.
