Sermon Title: At Work
Scripture: Psalm 18
What to Expect: Our series is called Resilient. We are all in a battle of some kind. We need to be resilient. If it feels like you’re being attacked, that’s not just a feeling—it’s because you are. Especially if you’re a follower of Jesus, we’re in a battle inside a greater epic war. It’s not a culture war; it’s a spiritual war with cultural implications.

This Week’s Faith Guide

Verse of the Week: "Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.” Colossians 3:23 NLT

Life Application from Sunday's Message:

Your workplace is one of the biggest mission fields God has given you. You may never stand on a church stage or preach a sermon, but your attitude, integrity, and consistency preach every single day. The way you show up, treat people, and handle responsibility can either clear the way to Jesus or clutter it. This week, ask yourself: “Would my coworkers see something different about Christ because of the way I work?”
Excellence honors God even when nobody notices. It’s easy to work hard when a boss is watching or when recognition is coming, but true character shows up in the unseen moments. God cares about faithfulness in the ordinary things — arriving on time, following through, and doing your best even in frustrating or repetitive tasks. This week, choose to serve with excellence not for applause, but because you ultimately serve Christ.
Sincerity at work reflects spiritual maturity. Refusing gossip, owning mistakes, speaking honestly, and treating others with respect are not small things — they are powerful acts of witness. In a culture filled with complaining and blame-shifting, a sincere and trustworthy believer stands out immediately. Ask God this week to help you become known not just as a good worker, but as a trustworthy and grace-filled person.
Changing your perspective can completely change your experience at work. When work is only about a paycheck, frustration quickly takes over, but when you realize you are working “as unto the Lord,” even ordinary tasks gain eternal meaning. God can use your current job — even the difficult or temporary one — as a place to shape your character and impact others. Every shift, meeting, task, and interaction becomes an opportunity to worship God through faithfulness.
