Doing the Lord’s Work

Sep 7, 2025    Ken Brown

In this powerful exploration of our faith, we're challenged to reconsider the sacred nature of our church gatherings and our individual work. The message draws from 1 Corinthians 15:58, reminding us that our 'labor in the Lord is not in vain.' We're called to recognize the unique authority Christ has given to His church, including the power to make disciples through baptism and teaching. This isn't just the work of church leaders – it's our collective responsibility as believers. The message beautifully connects our Sunday worship with our everyday lives, encouraging us to see our regular work as a calling from God. Whether we're in an office, at home, or in a factory, we're challenged to approach our tasks as working for the Lord, not just for earthly masters. This perspective can transform our attitude towards work and help us find contentment in our current circumstances.
