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.
