Sermon Synopsis for 3/12:“Going into Labor” (A Study in Work Ethic)

God etched 10 Commandments on stone some 3500 years ago for all mankind to live by. The 4th of these universal Commands reads, “Honor the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.” But nestled within its protracted explanation, God speaks a word about our labor, what we do for a living in order to pay our bills; even to ministers like me who only work one hour per week. 

Remember how the rest of the command reads? “Six days shall you labor.” Process this for but a moment: God decrees on but one day every week that we relax and worship, but on the other six days, we work! How can we not conclude that what we do on Monday through Saturdays also prove vitally important to God?

Why not come this Sunday morning to hear what the book of Proverbs has to say about appreciating the Quality of our work, sustaining Balance in our work and reaping the Reward for our Work? – three subjects that never grow old, though we sure do.
