Heaven At Work: Creating Heaven On Earth
Our work is not merely a means to an end, our work itself images God in the world. In this sermon, we see that many companies and jobs image God as creator. As we make connections between our work and God’s, we learn that our work is significant, we become better employees, our work becomes community service, and our work begins to shape and fashion the world today to look more like the New Heavens and Earth.

EMBRACING the Biblical Call to Work and HEEDING the Proverbs of Godly Stewardship (2 Thessalonians 3:6-15) 05-17-09
INTRODUCTION: Today’s Topic: Work. Today’s Passage in Context: (adapted from the ESV Study Bible): --> Some Major Themes in 2 Thessalonians: [God’s righteous judgment will be manifest at the coming of Jesus Christ (condemnation for unbelievers; salvation for believers); Christians will share in Christ’s glory; the lawless one’s identity revealed and humanity’s rebellion will both precede the 2nd Coming of Christ; the lawless one will deceive those who reject the gospel; Believers should not exploit the charity of other believers]. --> The Problem of Idlers in 2 Thessalonians 3: [Some within the church were exploiting the generosity of wealthier believers and living unproductive lives (which may or may not have been related to their belief that Christ’s return was imminent). These people were not earning their own living and were a drain on the resources and energy of hard working believers]. EMBRACING THE BIBLICAL CALL TO WORK: --> Understand its Biblical Purpose (Ge 2:15; 3:17ff; Ex 20:8-11; Ru 2:4-13; 2Ch 2:1-10; Ac 20:33-35; Col 3:22-4:1; 1Ti 5:4,8; Rev 7:9ff); --> Avoid those Walking in Idleness (v6); --> Follow Godly Examples (vs7-9); Earn your own Living (vs10-12); --> Persevere in Doing Good (v13); --> Exercise Church Discipline (vs14-15). HEEDING THE PROVERBS OF GODLY STEWARDSHIP: --> Seek Wisdom over Wealth (Pv 3:13ff; 23:23; 24:23); --> Work Hard & Justly (Pv 6:10f; 11:1; 12:10f; 28:8; 29:21); --> Give Generously to God & Others (Pv 3:9f, 27; 11:24; 14:31; 23:6; 28:25-27); --> Provide for Your Family (Pv 27:23-27; 31:1ff); --> Train Your Children (Pv 1:8-9; 22:6); --> Save Money as You are able (Pv 6:6; 13:11); --> Live a Disciplined & Prudent Life (Pv 1:1-3).
