Doing Work
Manage episode 439331829 series 3365478
Welcome to CROWD Church! This week Matt Edmundson and co-hosts Sharon Edmundson and Ellie Light discuss the topic of work from a Christian perspective. They explore the modern workspace and discuss how work was ordained by god and its vital importance to Christians.
Key Takeaways:
- Work is Ordained by God: The panel emphasises that work was established by God before the fall of humanity, meaning it's part of God's original design for human life. It's not just about paid employment but encompasses all forms of productive labour. Work is viewed as a partnership with God, where humans contribute to God's creation and kingdom.
- Work Heartily as Unto the Lord: Christians are encouraged to approach their work with a positive attitude, doing it "heartily" as if working for God, not just for human employers. This perspective helps reframe frustrating or mundane tasks, turning them into opportunities to honour God, even in difficult job situations.
- Balance Work with Rest and Trust God as Provider: Observing the Sabbath and ensuring a healthy work-life balance is vital. The panel highlights the importance of trusting God as the ultimate provider, especially during times of unemployment or work challenges. Resting is a way of honouring God and trusting Him to provide, allowing space for reflection, rejuvenation, and deeper connection with God.
