Do you feel like you’re working harder than ever but still not getting anything done? The digital age has made it far more difficult for us to decide what is relevant and deserves our attention and what is just merely click-bait and mindless ridiculousness. All of this craziness is constantly seeking to take us off task and suck up hours of our day. In this sermon, Pastor Tim is going to help us figure out what meaningful work looks like in the digital age. How can we defeat distraction and really give our best selves to what God has created us to do?

Work
This document discusses the importance and significance of work from a Christian perspective. It notes that one third of our adult lives are spent working, so work is an important part of how we can worship and serve God. While many in the world view work negatively, the Bible presents work as part of God's original commission to humanity. Examples are given of biblical figures who worked in different occupations. The document encourages Christians to view their work as a way to glorify God through excellence and service to others. It suggests that work provides opportunities to grow spiritually and witness to coworkers.
Purpose
This document discusses how humans have an innate God-given purpose to care for the world, procreate, love God and others, and enjoy their work. However, the world often distorts these purposes by failing to care for the environment, harming others, disrespecting sex, and not truly loving. It encourages finding one's individual vision and purpose by listening to God, getting rid of distractions, having faith, and worshipping even during trials. Fulfilling one's God-given purpose can be accomplished through small acts of obedience like Gideon did in defeating the Midianites despite being outnumbered.
A Biblical View of Work
Capture a biblical view of work as Dr. Ken Boa explores what it means to live out your faith in the marketplace: Work and who God is, Work and Who I am, Work and How I Think, Work and What I Do.
Alternative (Part 1)
This document outlines the key topics that are discussed in Matthew 5-7. It lists 19 different sections that provide guidance on how to live under God's blessings, have influence in society, understand the Old Testament, deal with anger, avoid sin, and other areas. The introduction cites the key Bible verses of Matthew 5:1-2 where Jesus goes up a mountain and teaches the crowds, and Matthew 6:8 regarding not being like other people. It includes additional Bible verses from Leviticus, Psalms and Ezekiel regarding following God's laws and not adopting customs of other nations.
Harvest time 2020
The document discusses spiritual harvest and encourages the reader to be ready. It notes that God has sowed seeds in the reader's "field" through prophetic words, blessings, and other means. These seeds have grown roots and blossoms and it is now time for harvest. The reader is encouraged to identify the different "lines of crops" or fruits of the spirit within themselves. Finally, it reminds the reader that God has prepared good works for them and they should look for opportunities to use their gifts, as this is part of the seeds sown in them. The reader is told to ensure their "silo" or spiritual storage is ready to keep the harvest.
Building a purposive career
This document outlines seven pillars for building a purposeful career: 1) Place God at the center. 2) Discover your talents and gifts. 3) View your career as a means to serve others. 4) Develop strong personal values and principles. 5) Establish a clear vision and mission. 6) Work diligently to improve your skills. 7) Surround yourself with supportive relationships. The overall message is that careers should be built with God at the center to fulfill divine purpose, through discovering one's talents and serving others. Success requires diligence, vision, strong values and relationships. All work should be done to glorify God.
Youth Illustrations: Give Thanks to the Lord
The document discusses giving thanks to God. It provides several Bible verses that talk about giving thanks to the Lord, including that God is good and loving. It asks questions about God's qualities that one might be thankful for and things God has done in their life that motivate thankfulness. It suggests thankfulness can be shown through words, song, and deeds. The document encourages giving God thanks every day, especially on Thanksgiving. It advertises a Holiday Collection book with over 300 pages of holiday game and activity ideas.
Growing in generosity ----neri
The document discusses the importance of biblical generosity. It asks key questions the generous giver should consider, like how much to give and to whom. It notes the joy that comes from generosity and investing in God's work. While resources come from God, believers have a responsibility as stewards. The passage cites examples from the churches in Macedonia who gave generously despite their limited means. It encourages evaluating how entrusted resources are used and whether changes could better support God's kingdom.

The overall message is that there is a "Gideon within" each person, and it is time to let that part of them be released to serve God.

It lists several unreached people groups and notes the harvest is plentiful but workers are few. The goal of the family business is to bring all nations to salvation in Christ.

Men Ought to Work and Work Hard
We need to work and work hard. This attitude will not only benefit us but our families and society at large. We must set good examples of working. This will be useful to our children as they grow up. You cannot sit and others work for you. No and No.
God's generous grace and our vocations
We need to recover an appreciation for our work lives. I argue that Christians should begin with grace, continue in grace, and end with grace, which God provides generously for all areas of our lives.

Tim Keller
Work as Vocation - Introduction
Our work can only be a calling if it is reimagined as a mission of service to something beyond
merely our own interests. Thinking of work mainly as a means of self-fulfillment and self-realization
slowly crushes a person and undermines society itself. (19)
The source of the idea of work as “vocation” is the Christian Scriptures.
The Reformers, like Luther and Calvin, argued all work, secular/sacred, was a calling from God.
• Luther – Human work is part of God's providential care of the world.
• Reformed/Kuyper – Work not only cares for creation, but directs/structures it. The purpose of
work is to create a culture that honors God and enables people to thrive.
Pg. 22 – Common conceptions of what it means to integrate faith/work.
Everyone imagines accomplishing things, and everyone finds himself largely incapable of
producing them. Everyone wants to be successful rather than forgotten, and everyone wants to make a
difference in life. But that is beyond the control of any of us. If this life is all there is... everyone will
be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best, will come
to naught.
Unless there is God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath this one,
and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response
to God's calling, can matter forever. (29)
Illustration: Leaf Niggle (Tolkien)
PART ONE – GOD'S PLAN FOR WORK
The Design of Work
The Bible's view of work as connected to the divine order and human purpose is distinct among
religions.
Gen 1 and 2 show that God works to create and care for his creation.
• God not only works, but commissions workers to carry on his work (Gen 1:28)
• “subdue” indicates creation was originally good but undeveloped
• God's intention was that humanity would develop this potential
Work was part of God's perfect design for human life, because we were made in God's image,
and part of his glory and happiness is that he works, as does the Son of God, who said, “My Father is
always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” (36) (Jn 5:17)
Work is as much a basic human need as food, beauty, rest, friendship, prayer, and sexuality; it is
not simply medicine but food for the soul. Without meaningful work we sense significant loss and
emptiness.
Work is one of the ways we make ourselves useful to others and discover our identities.
True freedom comes from working because it is part of our design.
• Illustration: A fish is only free in water, honoring the reality of its nature.
• Freedom is finding the right restrictions, those that fit with the realities of our nature and the
world's nature.
• Therefore, God's commandments are liberating because they direct us to be what we were
designed to be. (Is 48:17-18)
The Limits of All Work
Your relationship with God is the most import.

• Luther – Human work is part of God's providential care of the world.
• Reformed/Kuyper – Work not only cares for creation, but directs/structures it. The purpose of
work is to create a culture that honors God and enables people to thrive.
Pg. 22 – Common conceptions of what it means to integrate faith/work.
Everyone imagines accomplishing things, and everyone finds himself largely incapable of
producing them. Everyone wants to be successful rather than forgotten, and everyone wants to make a
difference in life. But that is beyond the control of any of us. If this life is all there is... everyone will
be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best, will come
to naught.
Unless there is God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath this one,
and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response
to God's calling, can matter forever. (29)
Illustration: Leaf Niggle (Tolkien)
PART ONE – GOD'S PLAN FOR WORK
The Design of Work
The Bible's view of work as connected to the divine order and human purpose is distinct among
religions.
Gen 1 and 2 show that God works to create and care for his creation.
• God not only works, but commissions workers to carry on his work (Gen 1:28)
• “subdue” indicates creation was originally good but undeveloped
• God's intention was that humanity would develop this potential
Work was part of God's perfect design for human life, because we were made in God's image,
and part of his glory and happiness is that he works, as does the Son of God, who said, “My Father is
always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” (36) (Jn 5:17)
Work is as much a basic human need as food, beauty, rest, friendship, prayer, and sexuality; it is
not simply medicine but food for the soul. Without meaningful work we sense significant loss and
emptiness.
Work is one of the ways we make ourselves useful to others and discover our identities.
True freedom comes from working because it is part of our design.
• Illustration: A fish is only free in water, honoring the reality of its nature.
• Freedom is finding the right restrictions, those that fit with the realities of our nature and the
world's nature.
• Therefore, God's commandments are liberating because they direct us to be what we were
designed to be. (Is 48:17-18)
The Limits of All Work
Your relationship with God is the most import ...
Theology of Work in the STEM Professions Week 2
God created humans in God's image with a propensity for creativity. Humans were meant to work, mirroring the creative, redemptive, and sustaining roles of the Trinity. In the Garden of Eden, humans fulfilled the creative mandate by caring for creation and adding value as God's stewards.
A Biblical View of Work
This document provides a biblical view of work through examining various passages and concepts related to work. It discusses that work was instituted by God before the fall and is not a curse. Work should be done wholeheartedly as unto the Lord, and there are benefits to diligent work including financial independence. The document cautions against wrong attitudes toward work like working just for money or fulfillment, and encourages integrating faith into one's work. It provides questions for self-assessment and prayers related to Christians and work.
Yfc cornerstone values formation
The document discusses being good stewards of God's creation by caring for the environment. It begins by explaining that God created the universe and everything in it out of love. Participants then draw pictures of nature and discuss how God must have felt creating such beauty. The document emphasizes that as humans were given power over nature, they also have a responsibility to cultivate and protect it as God intended. Specific ways to be good stewards are listed, such as planting trees, conserving energy and water, and proper waste disposal. The conclusion states that caring for the environment is everyone's mission as stewards of the planet God gave us.
11 christian and work
Work is not a curse but something humans were given before sin. Christians should work wholeheartedly as unto the Lord, using their skills to honor God. While work can simply be a job, it can also be an opportunity to bless others. The Bible connects work to using one's hands and says God blesses diligent work. God expects excellence in work, as was shown in the construction of the Tabernacle. As new creatures in Christ, Christians should work with the fruit of the Spirit. Work must not become separated from one's relationship with God or an idol that interrupts time with family or spiritual life.
Created for a purpose!
Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
A Biblical Look at Work
God created the heavens and the earth and rested on the seventh day from His work. As the image bearers of God, who is a worker, work is intrinsic to human nature. God created humans to be workers, as seen in the command to subdue the earth and the placement of Adam in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it. Therefore, work is designed by God and can be a holy endeavor for people.
THE SABBATH SCHOOL - 4th QUARTER 2020 - LESSON 11
For Christians, work is more than just a job - it is a way to receive God's blessings and an opportunity to bless others and testify of His love. The Bible connects work to using one's hands and skills productively. God expects Christians to work diligently according to their abilities and do their best work. For work, Christians should rely on the Holy Spirit and allow the fruit of the Spirit to guide them to treat others with kindness. Religion and work should not be separated, but faith should be integrated into our daily work. There must be balance between work, family, spiritual life and leisure, with God present in all aspects.
A theology of work presentation session two
Session two of a four part series on the Biblical Theology of Work. This session addresses the "why" of work, discussing the common and "better" motivations for work.
Made in his image
God created humans in His own image and likeness. While experiences, society, and science can influence how we see ourselves, who we truly are is defined by God - we are His children, forgiven, redeemed, and created with purpose. As God's masterpiece, each person is uniquely talented, fearfully and wonderfully made, and destined not for defeat but to be more than a conqueror through Christ.
090524 More Than A Job 02 Work Is Worthwhile
The document discusses how work is good and can have spiritual value and eternal significance when done properly and as if for God. It provides examples from the Bible of God creating the world and assigning Adam and Eve to work and care for the Garden of Eden before sin. While work may feel meaningless at times, when used to make the world better and bring order, it reflects God's continued work since creation and can have lasting impact and value.

It Is For Freedom: When You’re Strong Enough To Help Someone Else
Living in the spirit may mean that a significant amount of your energy will be spent GENTLY RESTORING other people who are deeply broken, using your RESIDUAL STRENGTH to help them shoulder stuff that’s too heavy for them.
It Is For Freedom: Hagar Is Not Your Momma and That Should Fire You Up
Are you a child that was born out of human effort and reason, or were you a child born out of promise of God?
It Is For Freedom: Religion Minus Grace Equals Captivity
If you could work your way to heaven, if there was a bunch of hoops you had to jump through, then who really gets the glory? You do! But I have news for you, God isn’t interested in your glory. He’s interested in his own glory, because he’s the only one worthy of glory.
139: Learning to Hate Your Real Enemy
Hating our real enemy is not hating the person that is causing us problems in life. The real enemy is the one who wages war in my soul, the real enemy is the sin in my own life that destroys the work of God in my life!
139: Always In Wonder
The most wonderful thing about God is not his knowledge or his abilities, or the fact that he is tracking in real time every atom in your body. The most wonderful thing about God is his love.
139: To Know You Is To Love You
There are things God is not going to give you, because by withholding them, you become the person He wants you to be.
All Over The Map: We Believe in Life
Friends! This is our core message; We believe in life, and life abundantly. Life that builds on itself, life that finds its source in the God and our connection with him that begins at the cross.
All Over The Map: Let’s Crash the System
Jesus cannot merely be an add-on to your life – He actually needs to change the entire system, from the inside out, so that even the economics change, the social order changes, the priorities change.
All Over The Map: Be Ready
Be yourself on mission ready at any moment to help people find their way to God. No one is asking you to be the preacher. Just to be yourself, open and ready to what opportunities may come your way.
All Over The Map: Jail break
The most important way to stay relentlessly on a mission is to actually be on a mission in the first place.
Won't You Be my Neighbor? The Neighbor You Wish You Had
As part of our "Won’t You Be My Neighbor" series, we collected food and socks and underwear for school aged kids that needed a little help. We also sponsored 11 children Yazidi children, who have been on the run from ISIS.
When we give to our neighbors, we resemble Him, because He gives. Believe it or not, that’s a pretty big deal, because God created us in His image, to resemble Him. And so when we do stuff like that, we are living out the very reason we were made.
Won't You Be my Neighbor? When Jesus Colors Outside Your Lines
In a synagogue on the Sabbath, Jesus sees a woman who had been disabled for 18 years. When he heals her, the ruler of the synagogue criticizes Jesus for healing on the Sabbath. Jesus responds that even animals are given help on the Sabbath, so why not this daughter of Abraham who Satan had bound for 18 years. The people rejoiced at Jesus' actions.
Wont You Be My Neighbor? -
“Won’t you be my neighbor?” is an invitation to help somebody know that they are loved and capable of loving… Love is at the root of everything; love, or the lack of it.”
- Fred Rogers
Won't You Be my Neighbor? - Do This and You Will Live
The document discusses the biblical story of the Good Samaritan from the book of Luke. It tells how a Samaritan helped a wounded man that was ignored by others, showing him mercy. It emphasizes having compassion for others and desiring mercy over sacrifice or rules, as Jesus called people to help others and not just follow religious laws. The document suggests we should emulate the Samaritan's compassionate actions.
The Real Deal: Overcoming The World The Easy Way
So you either overcome the world or the world overcomes you. Either you love the world and you become a slave to the world and you buy all that it sells you, you drink all of its Kool Aid only to have it turn on you and destroy you in the end. Or you figure out a way to live in this world so that you can prevail in it. Even you might say, overcome it.
The Real Deal: How To Love People (When You Don't Really Like Them)
The document discusses the importance of love according to 1 John 4:7-12. It says that God showed his love for us by sending his Son to be the atonement for our sins. Because of how much God has loved us, we ought to love one another. When we love one another, God remains in us and his love is perfected in us.
The Real Deal: Your DIY Truth Finder
There’s a lot of empty space with people making empty claims about God and Jesus and life and truth, but those quite frankly don’t add up, they sound good, but they’re hollow like this wall, and they can’t support the weight of your life, and if you try to anchor yourself to it, you’ll fall.
The Real Deal: You Should Be A Model
This document discusses how Jesus Christ serves as our advocate and the propitiation for our sins. It notes that if we sin, we have an advocate in Jesus, who turned God's righteous anger into favor through his sacrifice. It emphasizes the importance of keeping God's commandments and walking as Jesus walked in order to know that we abide in him.
The Real Deal: The DIY Fake Jesus Filter
If you try to get me to get excited about a Jesus who went 90% of the way, that’s a crappy Jesus. If the Jesus you’re showing me did not completely cover my sin, so that my whole life is now lived in gratitude toward him, then you’ve got a FAKE JESUS.
Bold As A Lion: Catch Some Rays
People will say, "why does God even allow us to disobey him in the first place? Wouldn’t the world be so much better if he didn’t?" But at the same time, it is an opportunity for him to show His redemptive power, which is more than He could have done if we never needed to be rescued in the first place.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
