Work: Because Life’s Not a Vacation

More Than This

Genesis 1:26-27; 2:1-3, 3:17-19

 

What is the strangest job you have ever had?

 There is more to the Christian life than work:

1. God’s best plan for you includes identity and order. (Genesis 1:26-27 & 2:1-3)

     a. As a believer, your identity is found in Christ, not your job. (Galatians 2:20)

     b. As a believer, Christ is your master, not work. (Colossians 3:23-24)

2. You live in a Genesis 3 (Genesis 3:17-19)

The Tower of Babel.  (Genesis 11:1-9)

     a. When identity is attached to work, you will experience confusion.

     b. When work doesn’t fit into God’s order, your life will be incomplete.

3. As a believer in Christ, you can order your life according to God’s best plan: (1 Corinthians 14:33)

God.

The blessing of life.

Family.

Work.

Friends. 

Final Thought:  Let your identity be found in God, through Christ, not in yourself, through work.
