Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Matthew 5: 13-16

          Ecc 3:22

From the Sermon:

Work was first mentioned in the Bible in _____________.

We need to ask does our work _________ God?

We often talk about work in terms of what we put into it, but God is also looking at what ______ from it.

Does our work ______ others?

Jesus isn’t saying we should be salt and light, or that we will be salt in light, rather that we ____.

Does our work bring us _______?

Reflection Questions:

Why do you work?

How are you living into your calling?

How are you being salt and light to other people?

Prayer:

Lord, we confess that we have become confused about work over time. We have looked at it as punishment, as something we must simply endure in order to do that which brings us joy. Reorient us, O Lord. Remind us of the holiness of work, but not just any work, but the work you have called us to do. Amen.
