Last Sunday we continued in our series “Abnormal.” We examined the workplace. We were guided by this idea: Our faith is on display in the workplace. Who we are and how we work says something about our faith to the people we work with. We examined the above verse and found that we are not working for people as much as we are working for Christ our Lord. I am confident that whatever we do, however mundane we think the task is...we will do it better if we are working for Christ. We used the story of Joseph in Genesis 39 to gain some insight about our faith being on display in the workplace.
First, we saw that God does have a perspective on our work...He calls us to be a valuable asset to our employers. I know that one can hurt, but remember we are working for Christ, not people. Second, we saw that Joseph became valuable because he was responsible. He did his job and he did it extremely well giving God something to bless richly. Third, Joseph was guided by integrity. The bottom line is that Joseph was honest and he could not be persuaded otherwise. Integrity guided his every decision. Lastly, we see that Joseph brought something “extra” to the table. He rose up and set himself apart from the others, not out of arrogance, but out of an amazing work ethic. Joseph was a valuable asset to his employer...are we? It’s a simple question. Make the decision today to be an asset your employer can’t live without. God will bring your increase in His time. This message is available on the website and on our church App “Bayside 3.0.”
This coming Sunday we explore “Abnormal: Workplace” tools every employer appreciates.
We look forward to seeing you Sunday as we catch up with friends, celebrate our God and step up to the challenge of God’s words to us.
