Taking Aim at Work
Part 1
Ephesians 4.28
The power of the Gospel affects every area of our lives.
Lie #1: Work is for status, success, and satisfaction.
- It becomes an idol we worship or a religious tool we use to worship our idols.
- In doing so, we tend to rob God and our families.
Lie #2: Work is a necessary evil, but it is evil.
- “Because work was cursed in the Garden of Eden, it’s what I have to endure.”
- In doing so, we tend to rob God and our employers.
The Gospel redeems our work.
- Work was originally a good thing (Genesis 2.15).
- Work is commanded by God as a result of the Gospel.
- He wants to exercise His dominion through humanity, bringing order to chaos.
- He does this so His glory can be seen in the smallest detail of life.
- Remembering work is cursed keeps us from packing it in when it gets hard.
- Remembering work is redeemed keeps us from missing an opportunity to glorify God.
