Today's sermon reflects on our jobs. For many of us, the bulk of the middle part of our lives will be spent working a job. That job is a blessing to be sure but can also be a source of great angst and frustration. The question for us as follower of Jesus is: what does it mean to follow Jesus on the job? Finding and enjoying our work is a gift from God, as the Solomon in all his wisdom reminds us:
18 Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. 19 And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. -Ecclesiastes 5:18-19 (NLT)
Our theme for 2023 is 'Love. Learn. Love.', which is taken from Matthew 22:34-40 and Matthew 28:16-20. Throughout the year we will give our attention to the teachings of Jesus and what it means to follow Him @home, w/the church, &beyond.
