Episode Synopsis

Let’s look at five verses in the book of Colossians that are addressing the theme of glorifying the Lord at work. How do we know this? Out of five verses there are 5 references to the Lord in the context of how we behave in the workplace. If the theme of Colossians is the supremacy of Christ, then it makes sense that we should exalt Him on the job not just on Sunday mornings.Some people, however, don’t like their job. A Gallup Poll in January of 2023 noted that out of 15,000 responses, 50% said that they were “not engaged’ with their work while an additional 18% went so far as to say that they are “actively disengaged” at work, meaning that they are disgruntled and disloyal toward the company. These sing a song of frustration on their way into work, “Oh, no! Oh, not! It’s off to work I go!”I think it can be better than that for the follower of Jesus Christ. He can restore the whistle in our work if we will play seven notes found within this text.First note, Do Your Work Conscientiously, 3:22Second note, Do Your Work Sincerely, 3:22Third note, Do Your Work Heartily, 3:23Fourth note, Do Your Work Expectantly, 3:24Fifth note, Do Your Work Cautiously, 3:25Sixth note, Do Your Work Justly (Fairly), 4:1Seventh note, Do Your Work Humbly, 4:1---Growing in Grace Devotions and Inspirations  Hosted by Pastor Victor Morrison  First Baptist Church1700 Milam StreetColumbus, TX, USA 78934http://fbccolumbustx.org/
