Selected Scriptures

What Makes Work Worthwhile?

Big idea: Four perspectives that shape your philosophy of work into worshipful service to God and others.

  1. Work reflects God’s image (Genesis 1:26–27; John 5:17).
  2. Work must be seen as a “vocation” (Ecclesiastes 2:24–26).
  3. Dignity in work rests in God’s design, not the nature of the work you do (Ecclesiastes 3:9–11; 5:18–19).
  4. God must enable you to enjoy your labor and its fruits (Ecclesiastes 2:25, 5:20).
