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.

In Acts 2 we read two passages of scripture that form the blueprint for our beliefs. The early church was centred, they allowed themselves to be led by the Holy Spirit. Is Jesus at the centre of our lives?
We all start out the same way, fearfully and wonderfully made by God. The question is: How do you want your life story to play out? God's goodness pursues us. And while things in life won't work out just because you pray, the cross is the greatest evidence of God's goodness. What will you allow him to do in your life?
Yada is a Hebrew word that means "to know". God reveals himself to us through his power, his loving kindness, his word, Holy Spirit and forgiveness. The cross is the ultimate expression of God's love for us.
