Today's discussion begins with a thought-provoking enquiry: Would you carry on with your daily work if you knew Jesus Christ was returning in a week? Pastor Colin encourages us to consider what our actions reflect about our understanding of work.
In this episode, we delve into the balance between work as a necessary means to earn a living and work as an expression of faith and purpose. Drawing on the example of Elijah and examining the teachings in 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15, we explore the idea that our professions, whether in ministry or secular occupations like tutoring or selling ice cream, hold intrinsic value as God-given vocations.
We're reminded that work is not merely about financial gain but represents a deeper calling to serve God's plans and persevere in righteousness, even as we face life's battles. Whether one is paid for their labour or volunteers their time for the benefit of others, work in itself is an act of worship, mirroring God's industrious nature.
Join us as we challenge prevalent notions about the significance of work and strive to adopt a biblical perspective that honours work as a noble pursuit, integral to our Christian walk. Please open your Bibles at 2 Thessalonians chapter 3 as we unpack this message further, seeking to remain steadfast and tireless in doing what is right.
