Daniel Méthot-Pinel - Col 3.22-25 DESCRIPTION: Parfois, on peut trouver notre vie chrétienne bien ennuyeuse et ordinaire. Nous ne sommes pas, pour la grande majorité d’entre nous, des missionnaires ou des évangélistes. Notre vie quotidienne n’a que très rarement un contact direct avec l’Évangile et l’Église. L’Église de Christ est composée de comptables, de camionneurs, de professeurs, de mamans à la maison, d’étudiants, de retraités, etc. “Qu’y’a-t-il de glorieux là-dedans?” notre âme nous demande-t-elle parfois. Nous sentons que notre vie ne glorifie pas vraiment Dieu et que nous ne sommes pas vraiment engagés dans l’avancement de son Royaume. Mais il n’y a rien de plus faux ! Dieu, veut pour la grande majorité d’entre nous, que nous ayons « des vies ordinaires ». Notre occupation quotidienne ne nous est pas assignée par le hasard, mais bien par le Dieu Créateur du ciel et de la terre. Alors, Dieu voulant, nous verrons en quoi notre travail est une bénédiction et comment il peut compter pour l’éternité. STRUCTURE: 1) Le travail est bon et voulu par Dieu. 2) Travailler pour Dieu. 3) Le travail et l’éternité.
God has called us to carry out our work “heartily” unto Him. What does this actually look like within the environments in which we work? This morning, we will take a look at Colossians 3:22-25 to understand how our work is not only an act of worship, but how it also allows us to point others to Christ!

Pastor Marcus continues his series in the book of 1 Timothy and address the issue of slavery.
Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. (Colossians 3:22-25)
. Relationships can thrive when we willingly OBEY those over us, Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Colossians 3:22 “'Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.” Leviticus 25:44-45 “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.” 1 Peter 2:18-21 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Colossians 3:25 “Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.” Romans 6:16-19 2. And willingly SERVE those under us. “Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.” Colossians 4:1 “And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.” Ephesians 6:9 Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave-- just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Matthew 20:25-28

If Jesus is your King, you're not free to walk off with office supplies or put in a half day's work for a full day's pay. For the Christian, there is no such thing as good enough for government work. In this message, Max Vanderpool shares what God wants from employees AND from bosses. The good news is that hard work almost always rewards itself.
