  2. Employees (Servants or Slaves) • Ephesians 6:5-8 “Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.” • Choose to Make Jesus Our Boss (6:5,6) • Bumper Sticker“My Boss is a Jewish Carpenter”

Instead, they are to serve them even better, because those who benefit from their service are believers, and dear to them. These are the things you are to teach and urge on them.”

Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.” • Golden Rule for Masters or Bosses: Treat your employees in the same way that you want to be treated. • 2. Don’t threaten, You too have a Master, He is God.
