Rooted in Purpose: Work as Worship 0:00 Glad you're in God's house today? Yeah. Amen. It sure sounded like it. If you are new here, today or new online, a couple of weeks ago, we started a brand new series, entitled Rooted, developing0:12 deep roots in an unstable world and it doesn't take long, to look at the news or watch TV or pick up your phone to realize we live in an unstable world. And so, what we did is we really0:23 looked at North Dallas, North Texas area and said, Hey, what are people looking for help on? And, we took the top 8 searches that people were looking for help on and we developed this rooted series and said,0:35 Listen, let's see what the Bible has to say about the top 8 things that people are looking for answers about and really hopefully develop some spiritual, energy, some spiritual momentum in each 10:47 of these areas. Week 1, we looked at the idea of salvation. That Jesus is our cornerstone. Week 2, we talked about winning the battle in your mind. That when you look and you think and so many people were0:59 searching for, I'm depressed, I'm anxious, I'm worried, or my student, or my son, or my daughter, or my husband, or wife. And we're like, what does God's word say about winning the battle in our mind? Then the next1:11 week we looked at the idea, because a lot of people were searching, what's the best diet? How can I get healthier? And so we looked at honoring God with our body. What does God's word have to say about that? Then we1:22 talked about honoring God with our relationships in marriage. Developing some marriage momentum or some friendship momentum. Then last week we talked about the reality that God didn't, didn't,1:34 want us and doesn't want us to do life alone. He wants us to be involved in a community. And not only be involved in a community, but as a believer, be connected to the church. And we said, you know, just like a1:46 camper is drawn to the campfire, a Christian is drawn to the church. And then today, we get to talk about this all important topic of work. People are like, how can I find meaning at work? Or how do I1:58 get a different job? How can I get a better job? And so today, I just thought we would pause in this series on these 8 topics and talk about what does the bible have to say about2:10 our purpose and our meaning at the office. I ran across an article that came out, from Bureau of Labor Statistics, back in March.2:23 It talks about the top 10 jobs. I don't know what jobs you've had over your life. Maybe your life's a little like mine. My first job was mowing the yard. How many of you mowed yards? Then I started2:34 mowing more yards and that got me my first car and that was an awesome thing. Then I got on the summer maintenance crew doing some repairs. We were doing all the work and I liked that for a couple of years. It got me a2:46 better car. It still wasn't a nice 1, but it was better than the first 1 that I had. Then I worked for a sewer and water maintenance repair company in the summers when we'd come home from college. We'd come home, they2:58 would save all the repairs up. And I just want you to know, to this day, it's been a long time, it was way better on the water side than the sewer side. How many of you know what I'm talking about? If they said, hey we3:08 need you to go to repair this mainline out in the water, you're great. They'll say, hey we've got this sewer problem over here. You're like, Alright. Then I became a waiter. How many of you are ever a waiter? I I liked3:19 being a waiter. I waited at a place called Steak and L. How many of you remember Steak and L? Get Steak and L. And then in the lunchtime, I'd wait at Bennigan's and that's what I would do there in the summer. So I had3:29 all kinds of jobs. Then I finished, Baylor, and went and was in institutional investing down in Houston. Got my series 7, 63, 6. If you don't know what those are, you can3:41 still go to heaven. That's what I did for a number of years. And then since the call on my life from God. And so, I surrendered ministry, came to Dallas, said, you know what? I'm gonna go to seminary up3:53 here, but I immediately knew, that I still needed a job. I still needed to pay my bills. I needed to pay rent. I needed to be able to put food in my pocket. So I applied for a job at First Baptist Academy downtown.4:05 And I was their head middle school football coach. And we were awesome. Not really. And then I then I got the next job as staying down there because they liked me a little bit as4:17 assistant varsity baseball coach and JV coach. And so always having a job, but at the same time I'm going through seminary. I'm in seminary in the morning. I'm coaching in the evening. I'm seminary in the morning,4:27 coaching in the evening, ultimately to become your pastor. Now I know first thought some of y'all are having. I wonder if he was a better waiter than he was a pastor. I know some of y'all are out there thinking that.4:39 But I don't know what you do, but your work matters. Here's what the bureau of labor and statistics says, about, the top 10 most common jobs. Retail sales per How many of4:51 you are in retail? Or at least were in retail at some point. Don't you love that day from Black Friday to Christmas Eve where no 1 sees you? You just go into this black hole.5:03 Home health care or personal care aids. That's not necessarily certified nurse. Just someone in home health care. Then general operations managers. Fast food and counter workers. How many of you ever worked in5:15 the fast food industry? Alright. There you go. Then, cashiers. How many of you are cashier? I didn't know there were any left. They always make me check myself out and all I know is that when I5:27 start checking myself out, it says wait for assistance. How many of you know, right? I know. Gene will go, you did it again. I go, I don't know what I did, but I did it again. I'm clearly not trained at this. Registered5:39 nurses is next. Laborers and freight and stock and material movers, customer service representatives, stock and order fillers, and cooks. Anybody in here cook? Anybody in here cook? Man, we love5:51 you. If you can cook, never tried out for that. Wouldn't have been any good at it. But, you know, it doesn't matter what you do. Hopefully what we see today. Whether you're in 1 of those businesses and6:02 notice, none of those are technically sacred, but I'm gonna submit to you biblically those are just as sacred. Every 1 of those jobs is what I6:14 do. What you do at your job, where God has called you and where God has gifted you, Monday through Friday is just as sacred as what I am doing right now. So let's go back to6:26 Colossians chapter 2, and let's, just read our foundational passages. These 2 verses have kind of launched us into this idea of rooted how we can stand6:37 strong in an unstable world. Here it is. So then, just as you have received Christ, that was week 1, salvation, as Lord, continue to live your lives in him6:49 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught and overflowing with thankfulness. Alright? So, the idea of we wanna be strengthened in our work, we wanna understand the7:01 purpose of our work and I just wanna stop right now and let you know, hey, when Jesus chose his disciples to change the world, How many priests did he7:12 choose? Zilch. How many rabbis did he choose? None. What did he choose? He chose business people. He chose fishermen,7:24 stonemations, 1 political activist, people that were involved in the family business. He chose business people to change the world. Jesus didn't come in and say, hey let me get this priest and this priest and7:36 these rabbis and these rabbis. He said, no, no, no. If I'm gonna change the world, I'm gonna change some business people. And I want you to know, ladies, if you're in the room, whatever you're doing right now matters. I7:47 don't want you to think this is a dude's sermon because it's not a dude's sermon. Whatever God has called you to do, God blesses. I just made a list this week of just in my mind, some of the ladies throughout7:59 scripture that had powerful influences on people. There were many moms and many mothers that were blessed. Rachel was a shepherdess. It says she tended her father's sheep. Ruth was a faithful gleaner,8:11 field working. She was the provider for her family. Deborah. Deborah was kind of the Margaret Thatcher of, the Bible. If you don't remember her, that just means you're young. She was a judge. She was a prophet. She was8:23 a military leader. How many of you remember the Proverbs 31 lady? Right? Proverbs 31 lady, she could do everything. She was an entrepreneur. She was a seamstress. She was a manager. She was a homemaker. And she was8:34 everything. Alright? New Testament. Lady named Lydia was a businesswoman, a seller of purple cloth. Priscilla was a tent maker and a teacher. Dorcas, better named Tabitha,8:46 same lady. Seamstress. You know, I've never dedicated a girl named Dorcas. I don't think I ever will, but here's the point. Whatever you're doing, men or women,8:58 I'm gonna show you biblically that what you do tomorrow is just as sacred as what I do today. So let me just show it to you. Let's start with Genesis chapter 2. Let9:10 me show you where, the idea of working came in. Genesis chapter 2 verse 1. Says, Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day, God had9:21 finished his work, the work he had been doing. So on the seventh day, he, God rested, not because he was tired, rested from all of his work. Then God blessed the seventh day9:33 and made it holy. So, there's this idea of work and worship. Work and holiness. Because on it, he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. So, it, he rested from all the work of creating that he had9:45 done. So, God modeled this rhythm for us. That we ought to work and create and provide for 6 days, but on that seventh day, we stop9:57 working and we worship. So, it's work and worship. Work and worship. 6 and 1. 6 and 1. Over and over again. Now, here's the important part. When you think about God's work, God worked with a purpose.10:10 Certainly, the purpose was to create the heavens and the earth and Adam and Eve and others. But, beyond what God did, why did he do it? To provide for you and me. Because10:22 God wanted you and I to have an inhabitant to live on so we could decide in our own hearts whether we were gonna reject the God who created the universe or receive the God who created the universe. So God didn't create10:33 the universe for him, he created it for us. And so for us, we need to understand when we work, we need to work hard, but we also need to worship, but we10:45 also need to understand why we work. We work just like God, for others. And then what we need to do is after we work real hard, we need to worship.10:57 See, and that's when we truly reflect God's character. We work, work, work, work, rest. Rest and worship. Why? Because God said, this day is holy. Go to Genesis chapter 211:09 verse 15. So, now God's set the pattern in motion at the beginning of Genesis chapter 2. Now, God is gonna show Adam something and show Adam how he wants Adam to11:20 reflect God's character in the way he works. So here it is, Genesis chapter 2 verse 15. It says, the Lord God took the man, that's Adam, and put him in the garden. So I want you to know, this11:32 is before sin. Everybody say before sin. So so work was never a punishment for sin. Work was never a punishment. Work has always been a privilege. Alright? So11:44 it says, the Lord God took the man, Adam, put him in the garden to work it and take care of it Before there was ever a boss, a paycheck, or a punch clock,11:56 there was a garden and a shovel. And God said, listen, Adam. I want you to work and I want you to work hard. 6 days you shall work.12:08 6 days you shall labor. And then on that seventh day you rest. See, work has always been God's original plan. Work was never a punishment. It's always, a privilege. And God,12:20 when he looked at Adam, God didn't look at Adam and create everything, create this beautiful garden. And God didn't look at Adam and say, hey, now go put a hammock up. God gave him12:32 something to do. Before there was a boss, before there was a paycheck, before there was a punch clock. Why? Because God knew that we don't need to be idle. Imagine had God just said, hey, just go12:43 and enjoy the Garden of Eden. You know what there would have been? There would have been deer blinds everywhere. Deer feeders, I mean, that's all he would have done. It'd have been overgrown. It'd have been awesome for a12:54 season. And then not so much. No. God says, listen. You're not in here to be idle. I want you to go to work, and I want you to work hard and I want you to till the ground and understand that work is13:06 a privilege. It's never a punishment. Fast forward, the children of Israel about to go into the promised land. Exodus chapter 20. Notice right in the top 10. Everybody say top 10.13:18 Right in the top 10, 10 commandments. Right between commandment number 3 and commandment number 5. Commandment number 3 is don't take the Lord's name in vain. Commandment number 5 is honor your father13:30 and your mother. Here's right here commandment number 4. Notice what it says verse 8. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Remember, work and worship. That's the rhythm. Work and13:42 worship. 6 days you shall labor and do all of your work. So here's what we need to understand. What you do tomorrow, Monday through Friday, you're preaching your13:54 sermon. I may be preaching my sermon now, but you're preaching your sermon the next few days, But on the seventh day, that day is the Sabbath to the Lord. Rhythm. Work hard.14:06 Worship. Work hard and worship. And this is to the Lord. Look at this, verse 11. He says, for in the 6 days, the Lord made the heavens and the earth going back to God as our example,14:19 the sea and all that was in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Not because he was tired, but because he was gonna set an example for you and me that you and I don't need to14:31 get lost in work. You and I don't need to be lost in the idea that work is everything that we're about. He says, no. You're gonna work hard and then you're gonna pause and worship. He says, therefore,14:43 the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, the worship day, and made it holy. The child of God understand, what you do the next couple of days before14:54 we see each other is just as sacred as what I'm doing right now. Because that's God's calling on your life. Now, we've looked at the old testament, fast forward to the new testament. Look at what Paul said15:06 to the Ephesian believers in Ephesians chapter 4 verse 28. Here's the new testament work ethic. He says, Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer. Now, pause and you say, Well, I don't steal anything. That word15:18 steal could be saying just just being a taker and not a giver. He says, Anyone who is a taker and not a giver. Anyone who stills must still no longer, he says, but must work. In other words, don't15:30 be idle. Work. And how do you do it? Doing something useful with their own hands. Whatever it is, whatever you do, that they may have something to share15:42 with others or those who are in need. So, here's what we understand. Remember, God created the heavens and the earth, not for himself, but for us. You and I work, as Paul says, to15:54 reflect that. Now, listen. I'm not working for myself. I'm working so that I can provide for my family. I'm working so I can provide for those who are less fortunate than I am. I want to do something very useful16:06 with my own hands so I can provide for someone else. Now, let me show you in first Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 9. Paul continues to show us the example. Paul says, listen, I'm not just gonna preach it.16:18 I'm gonna live it. So, here's what he says. He says, Surely you remember talking to the Thessalonian church and believers. He says, Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil16:30 and our hardship. We worked night and day. Now, let me just put a pause on this. Paul says, listen. Before I would ever be respected in the pulpit,16:43 I need to take up the plow. Paul says, listen. I don't want to show up in your church and be a taker only. I want to be a giver. He says, you know my work. We worked day and night.16:55 We worked hard and toiled. Why? So when we preach the gospel, you would say, this is a person that is not just looking to be a taker, but is looking to be a contributor. He says, we17:07 worked day and night in order to what? Not be a burden to anyone while we preach the gospel of God to you. Child of God, when you think about heading off to the office tomorrow, understand that17:19 the gospel isn't carried by lazy hands. Did you get that? The gospel is not carried by lazy hands. And I also want to tell you this. Here's what I know just because I read the prayer17:31 request. We've got some people in this room. We've got some people that watch online that they're out of a job right now. That they have been downsized, they've been let go, for no reason. I want you to know this is not17:42 to be a challenge to you. This is where the church and the others who are working, work so that they can provide for others who are in need. Does that make sense?17:54 Because we all go through these cycles of these ups and downs in our employment. You may just be killing it at the office and God bless you. Provide for your family and others who are in need. You might be in 1 of those18:05 seasons where all of a sudden, and I've heard about a couple recently that they were just in large corporations, just a couple hundred people just gone. And some of those people are in our church, so I want you to know18:15 don't sit here and go, I hate this sermon or he's talking to me. I'm talking to all of us. So, I love these verses. Let me give you these 2 and this is gonna lead us18:27 into our our point in this sermon today on word. Colossians chapter 3 verse 23. Remember I told you that what you do tomorrow and the next few days until we see each other again18:39 is just as sacred as what I'm doing right now. So here's what Paul says. He says whatever you do. Everybody say whatever. Whatever you18:51 do. Work in it with all your hands. In other words, be diligent as working for the Lord. So, here's what he's saying. He's saying, Listen. If I always see, regardless of where I am, regardless of where I'm working, if19:03 Christ is my boss, excellence is not optional. It's what I want to do all the time. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. In other19:14 words, my ultimate boss is Jesus. Since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward, it is the Lord Christ that you are serving.19:26 Here's what he's saying. Wherever you go to work tomorrow, whatever you're doing, whether you're a homemaker, whether you're, an accountant, whether you're in finance, whether you're in sales, whether you're a plumber,19:35 whether you're in construction, whatever you do tomorrow, when you head into the office or head to your work, understand Jesus is your ultimate boss. He is the 1 we are working for. And I love what it says,19:47 work at it with all your heart as unto the Lord, not just the company, not just the corporation, even not just yourself. But then he says, and the Lord will provide a reward of an inheritance.20:00 So, here's the deal. He doesn't say if you're a good preacher, you'll get an inheritance. He says if you just work hard at whatever God has called you to do, there's20:12 an inheritance waiting for you. I think it's interesting if you look at this idea of work. Originally, in the new testament, you've heard what the bible20:23 says. That everything that you do is just as important as what I do. Now, if you look over the history of the church, that's the way, the New Testament wrote it. That's the way the followers in20:35 the New Testament, those early churches saw it is, man, what what y'all did, what y'all do is just as important as what I do. But as the church developed, and through the medieval days in particular, what20:47 happened is there became this differentiation between priest and the people, from monks and the many. And so all the word, all of a sudden this word20:59 vocation, if you didn't know, you've heard the word vocation, it is from the Latin word vocare and it simply means to call. Is that it used to be the idea that it whether you're a plumber21:10 or a pastor, you were vocared. You were called by God. That was your vocation. But as the priesthood developed in the Catholic church and all these monasteries, what21:22 happened is they went and they stole that vocare, that calling from the common people. And they started saying, listen, if you're a priest, that's a calling.21:35 If you're a monk, that's a calling. And let me tell you what, God said it was never meant to be that way. Your calling, you can be a plumber or a priest, and it is still a vocare.21:47 It is still a vocation that is called by God, that is just as important by God. And That's what we need to understand, who's wrong. Here's a good thing that happens, something called the Reformation. Everybody say21:58 Reformation. Reformation. Came along. Martin Luther began to look at all of these things, began to read the Bible and say, man, that's different. The priests aren't better than the people. The monks22:10 aren't better than the many. And so what he did is he he began to read God's word and began to preach, and he took that word vocare out of the church and put it back in its original context.22:23 That whether you preach for a living or a plumber for a living, you are just as blessed as God. Let me just read you a couple of Martin Luther quotes. Here's what he said. Martin Luther said, the plowboy and22:35 the preacher both serve God. They both serve God as they work faithfully in their stations, whatever they're called to do. He says, so if you're a plowboy or a preacher,22:48 your calling is to God. Here's another thing that he said. He said, the works of monks and priests, however holy and arduous they may be, do not differ listen to this. Do23:00 not differ 1 wit in the sight of God from the works of the rustic laborer in the field. Did you get that? He said, there had been this idea that that priests started thinking,23:12 well well we're called by God. Others aren't. Monk said, we're better than others. Martin Luther said, listen, in God's eyes, whether you're a plowboy or a preacher,23:24 whether you're a plumber or a pastor, there is no difference in your calling in God's eyes. Alright, so here's what I wanna do. I wanna give you a biblical acrostic for work. So hopefully you23:36 have your app open. Hopefully you can, just journey through this with us and see really the way God set it up. So thought number 1 is this. In the acrostic for work, the w stands for worship23:47 while you work. When you head into the office tomorrow, your worship doesn't end today. That I want to roll in and understand that I am going to the office to apply23:59 my skill and my technique and whatever God has given me, and I'm gonna worship while I do it. Look at first Corinthians. Here's what Paul said. He says, so whether you eat or24:11 drink or whatever you do in the boardroom, the classroom, the workshop, or the kitchen, whatever you do, see that as worship. He says, do it all for what? The glory.24:23 What does it mean? For glory of the Lord? That is worship. He says, we want to do it all for the glory of the Lord. Man, when your work is seen as a place of worship,24:35 every cubicle becomes a church. Did you get that? If you walk into a place tomorrow, if you see this is my place of worship on Monday, not just Sunday, then I want to24:46 say every cubicle, every place I go, every job site I go onto, this is a place of worship. See, biblically, your work and your worship are woven together. They're kind24:58 of a tapestry together. It's not just, okay I got work over here and worship. Now, so here's what I want you to know. I believe whatever you are due, whatever you are doing, whatever you are doing for God,25:10 for work, is a gift from God and is sacred to God unless it's illegal. K? Let me just go ahead and make that little caveat. If you're doing something illegal, God's25:22 probably out. But, I want you to know it doesn't matter. So worship and work, whatever it is, are woven together. I love what Martin Luther said, What you do tomorrow25:35 is not 1 bit less impressive than what I'm doing right now in God's eyes. I love Exodus chapter 31. You can go read the story. You know, you think about these special25:47 and sacred services to God. In Exodus chapter 31, children of Israel had left Egypt in slavery, were supposed to have gone to the promised land. The spies said no, and so they25:58 meandered around in the desert forever. And God says, you know what you need? You need a place. You need a place to worship. See, they're not in the promised land. When they get into the promised land, they ultimately26:08 end up building a temple. But God says, you know what? I wanna have a place that will travel with you. It's called the tabernacle. And so, you can set it up, you can worship God, but then as you move and26:19 journey, you can pick it up and you can move it to a different place. In Exodus chapter 31, God talks to Moses. God's saying to Moses, Moses, I want to build a26:31 tabernacle, but you're not going to do it. There's a guy named Bezalel. He goes, and I have gifted him,26:43 I have gifted him with my spirit to work with stone and wood and metal. You know what God was saying? The general contractor who was26:55 to build the temple wasn't a priest, wasn't a prophet, wasn't a pastor, he was a general contractor. And God says, I have27:07 endowed him with my spirit and the skill that he has to build the tabernacle. So, child of God, whatever you do tomorrow, see your27:19 work as a place to worship. Here's the o. You ready? O is this. Offer your work to the Lord. So, it's a place that I worship, but I'm going to offer my work to the Lord. I love Proverbs chapter27:30 16 verse 3. Go back to the Old Testament. Says, Commit to the Lord whatever. Everybody say whatever. Commit to the Lord whatever you do. Whatever you do. Now, let me just go back to that27:42 word commit. Remember, it's the old testament. The Hebrew word commit simply means to roll something over. So, if you're a plumber, roll it over and say, everything I do, God, is for you.27:54 If If you're a contractor, everything I do, God is for you. If you're a salesman, everything I do, God. If you're an accountant, finance, whatever it is, he says, commit to the Lord whatever you do and he28:06 will establish the plans. Child of God, if you'll roll your work over to God, that'll be the best ROI you've ever had in your business. The return on investment,28:18 God what I do, just like in the old testament, just like in the new testament, I'm gifted. Man, there are people that do things with their hands that are28:30 amazing. You ever just known someone that put a tool in their hand and they know how to use it? Or put a guitar in someone's hand and they know how to use it? Let me tell you what, the last thing you want in my hand is28:40 anything called power tool. It's not how God has gifted me. But commit it to the Lord. Offer your work to the Lord. Here's the R. Remember who you're ultimately28:51 working for. Jesus is your boss. Look at Colossians chapter 3 verse 23. It says, whatever you do, work at it with all your heart. Just as I'm working for the Lord, and not for your human master, human29:03 boss. It is Christ you are serving. When you roll in to the office tomorrow, I want you to visualize wearing this shirt. Alright? Just put this shirt on in your29:15 mind that Jesus is my boss. When I roll in, I and and that way, if you don't love your earthly boss, you got 1 you can like all day long, right? You29:27 go, Yeah, alright. You're my manager, but Jesus is the 1 I'm working for. And it'll change your perspective. God, how can I be29:39 a person who follows you? And then the k, always know that your calling is way bigger than your job. Your calling is bigger than your career.29:51 Look at Ephesians chapter 4 verse 1, as a prisoner of the Lord, then I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you've received. Our calling is always bigger than our30:03 career, but oftentimes our calling flows out of our career. And so whatever you do, and let me just remind you again, Jesus' disciples weren't priests, preachers,30:15 and rabbis. He chose fishermen, tax collectors, businessmen, traders, stonemasons, political activists, finance, and family business owners.30:28 I believe God's still choosing that today. Cottonwood Creek, when we roll out of here today, whether in person or online, and that alarm clock goes off in the morning,30:41 I pray that you wake up and say I was called to this. Because your calling is so much greater than your career. And child of God,30:53 in personal, don't you ever ever ever see what I do right now is more sacred than what you don't do tomorrow. Let's pray. God, thank you so31:05 much. Just for the opportunity and the privilege we have to work, God. It's not a punishment. It's not post sin. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's easy. God, I also31:17 pray if someone here out of work looking for a better job, a different job, I pray that you would just give them the encouragement that their calling is greater than their career. So God as we leave here today,31:30 we go to the office fired up to carry the gospel, not with lazy hands, but with faithful hands. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen31:42 and amen.In this video 0:00 Rooted in Purpose: Work as Worship
