Does your daily work really matter to God? Work is about more than earning a paycheck. It is one of God’s gifts through which we can serve others, care for our families, support His church, and become a blessing to people in need.
Whether you are employed, studying, retired, managing a home, volunteering, leading others, or searching for a new job, God has a purpose for your work in this season of life, join us as we discover how paid and unpaid work can honor Christ and accomplish purposes greater than ourselves.

Working with Purpose
Introduction: Why Do We Work So Much?
(2 Thessalonians 3:10, Ecclesiastes 4:8)
1. Acknowledge Work as God’s GIFT
(Genesis 2:15; Proverbs 14:23; Ecclesiastes 3:12–13)
2. Offer Your Best Work to CHRIST
(Proverbs 27:18; Colossians 3:23–24)
3. Use Your INFLUENCE to Serve
(Proverbs 29:2, 7; Mark 10:43–45)
4. Use Your INCOME to Bless Others
(Proverbs 3:9; 11:24–25; 19:17; 1 Timothy 5:8; 1 Cor 16:2; 2 Cor 9:6–8)
God does not give us the ability to work and earn merely so we can accumulate more. He provides through our work so we can care for our families, support His church, and become a blessing to others.
