Whistle While You Work—by Jacques Genis
March 13, 2023
Sermon summary:
Titus 2:9–10 How does God want me to conduct myself while I work, and why does it matter?
*God is a worker
- Work is meant to be a gift, and is intrinsic to what it means to be fully human. Later, it became toil, and a burden.
- Titus taught how workers were to conduct themselves:
Why does our conduct as employees matter? Verse 10 To make the teaching of God attractive. We are called to be image bearers/ ambassadorrs. Bring heaven to work, and see the difference Jesus made in your life.
Would it be a true representatives of God? Or is your life segmented (re you different at work, home, church etc).
Verse 9: Five foundational things—
*Be subject to your master in everything
*Try to please your master.
*Not talk back.
*Don't steal.
*Show you can be fully trusted.

Words have the power to build up or break down. Speak with grace, avoid double-speak, and use words that reflect love, especially with our children.
God made us in His image to reflect his character. He loves us freely and calls us to walk in his presence and live in the freedom of forgiveness.
Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.
