The Gift of Work
All work is a gift from God to us. Work is not a punishment or consequence of sin – it was part of the original creation and will be part of our eternal joy. Work is also a gift of God through us to bless the people around us.
The Struggle of Work
All work is affected by the fall. “Thorns and thistles” are everywhere in our lives, including the work we do. Yet Jesus gives us help in the struggles and He gives us hope in His finished work!

The Call to Work
We need to replace our culture’s idea of career (for the sake of personal fulfillment) with a Biblical commitment to vocation (for the glory of God). God calls us to specific tasks in seasons of our life (Eph. 2:10), using our GPS – Gifts, Passions and opportunities to Serve.
The Gift of Rest
We reflect God’s image when we work and when we rest. Sabbath rest is not a punishment or restriction on beleivers but a wonderful and important gift from God. Rest is a necessity, a command and a promise!
