Genesis 1:26-28; 3:17-19. Preached Sunday, May 18, 2025.

Scripture: Genesis 2:4-17 Key Takeaways: + Work is a good gift from God. “Let the Church remember this: that every maker and worker is called to serve God in his profession or trade—not outside it. The Apostles complained rightly when they said it was not meet they should leave the word of God and serve tables; their vocation was to preach the word. But the person whose vocation it is to prepare the meals beautifully might with equal justice protest: It is not meet for us to leave the service of our tables to preach the word.” – Dorothy Sayers, “Why Work?” + Work is to be done for God and for his glory. Ephesians 6:5–8 + Good work that glorifies God is ethical work. + Good work that glorifies God is excellent work. "The Church's approach to an intelligent carpenter is usually confined to exhorting him not to be drunk and disorderly in his leisure hours, and to come to church on Sundays. What the Church should be telling him is this: that the very first demand that his religion makes upon him is that he should make good tables. Church by all means, and decent forms of amusement, certainly – but what use is all that if in the very center of his life and occupation he is insulting God with bad carpentry?” – Dorothy Sayers, “Why Work?”  “The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship.” – Martin Luther Exodus 31:1–5 Proverbs 22:29 + Work is how we partner with God in his care of the world.  “God Himself will milk the cows through him whose vocation that is.” – Martin Luther + Our identity is to be found in Jesus and his work, not ours. “If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.” – Tim Keller

Text:  Genesis 2:4-17   God's Providential Design in Creating All Things (Genesis 2:4-7) The generations of the heaven and the earth refer to the God's creation of man and woman. God's name (Yahweh-Elohim) declares Him as both Creator and Covenant-Redeemer. God created a perfect setting for man to live and breathes His life into him.   God's Providential Design in Creating Us to Work (Genesis 2:8-17) God placed man in the Garden of Eden with abundant provision and beauty. God created man with a responsibility to work and keep the Garden of Eden. God commanded Adam to abstain from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to establish His good authority.

Many struggle to find meaning in the work that they do. A job can feel purposeless, or become simply a way to survive and pay the bills. But in the first two chapters of Genesis, we see a description of work that will both challenge our misconceptions and give us renewed purpose.

Sermon on Genesis 4:1-16 titled The Curse At Work. It was preached by Pastor Brian Hough on December 10th 2023 at Manhattan Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Manhattan, Kansas. You can learn more at ManhattanPres.com

Genesis 3 shows us the impact of sin on work. As we saw last week, work was once a delight, but now it can feel like drudgery and duty. Gen 11 shows us that instead of looking to God, human beings seek an identity from what they build, what they do with their hands. This sermon will not only explore the impact of sin and the fall on work, but also explore how work can be healed by the gospel.

God placed humankind in the Garden of Eden to work itand take care of it (Genesis 2v15). Interestingly, the words “work” and “care” are often used in the bible to describe the priest's service to God in tabernacle worship.. The point Genesis is making, then, is that in Eden the function of tending the Garden was itself an act of worship and service to God. All work, therefore, matters to God and is one of the ways we can reflect God as image bearers, engaging in creative work that stewards and multiplies resources for the flourishing andadvancement of the human community.

Pastor Tom reminds us how God is always at work, even when we cannot see it or understand it.

In this lesson, we will look briefly at the fall of Adam and its consequences so that we can understand what happened to the glorious gift of work and begin to understand what to do with it now that it is broken. ★ Support this podcast ★

God created us to work. It was part of His good and perfect design for humanity (Genesis 2:15). However, because of sin, work is now under the curse and is not what God intended it to be. Timothy “TA” Ateek walks us through the effects of the curse on our work in Genesis 3:17-19 and the ways we can still glorify God through our jobs in Colossians 3:22-24.

Eric Ashley looks at God's call to work out our Faith in and through our vocations.

Man was made in God's image, which means man was made both to work and rest. Yet all too often we glorify one and neglect, or even disdain, the other. Pastor Wesley preaches through what Genesis 2:1-3 shows us about truly experiencing rest, the pitfalls we often encounter in our fallen pursuit of it, and ultimately where (or Who) true rest can be found. This sermon is from August 14, 2022. A full video of this service is available on our https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnWOxypdU3Ngped5xTlz2VA/videos (Youtube Page).

Title: The Prayer of Work Text: Genesis 2:1-9 Series: Working and Praying Preacher: Rev. Shawn Slate

Work: a love/hate relationship Made to work Genesis 1:26-28 Genesis 2:15 Colossians 3:17 The ‘Fall' affects our work Genesis 3:17 The Necessity of Work 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 10. A diagnostic framework for Work Exploring some implications Work and self-worth Should we fulfil our potential? Should we look for Job satisfaction? What about work and money? Work is inevitably a ‘mixed bag'

How can we recognize and celebrate our responsibility to work? In Genesis 1-2, we will discover three foundational truths that will motivate us to worship God through our work.

What is the difference between Abraham and Martha's approach to the Lord? How does this come to be known to us through the stories of Genesis 18 and Luke 10? Father Jeremiah walks us through these two texts so that we can learn stillness before the Father.Image: Christ in the House of Martha and Mary, Johannes Vermeer, Public Domain.

Author of the book Chocolate Drop in Corporate America: From The Pit To The Palace. Episode page: https://markgraban.com/mistake168 My guest for Episode #168 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Genesis Amaris Kemp. She is a Creative Content Writer, Author, Self-Development Advocate, Visionary, Inclusion and Diversity enthusiast, and (I love this) a “Firecracker, and a force to be reckoned with.” She is a woman of color, a trailblazer who wants others to live out their dreams, goals, and visions. She's the author of the book Chocolate Drop in Corporate America: From The Pit To The Palace. Genesis has been featured on four dozen-plus podcasts, and magazines, and then decided to finally start her own podcast, GEMS with Genesis Amaris Kemp. In this episode, Genesis shares her “favorite mistake” stories about being too bold. Why did her now-husband break up with her four times? Why was she told to stop being so bold at work? Was there a double standard for a woman of color? What did she learn and how did she adapt, while remaining true to herself? We also talk about questions and topics including: Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man — relationships book, Steve Harvey Working in oil and gas – male dominated Double standard for women? More so as a woman of color? You write about choosing a major (and changing majors) — tell us about that thought process. In your book, you talk about having 3 job opportunities… it sounds like you chose what was the best for the long term (not just the highest pay in the now). What led to that decision? What led to you writing your book? Mistakes related to DEI — that organizations make or that individuals make?

God graciously supplies man to rule the earth - beginning in the idyllic garden of Eden - for the priestly task of working and keeping it.

Discussion QuestionsFrom the passages in Genesis 1-3:What stood out to you?What do these passages teach us about God (his character, his will, his plans, his principles)?Which aspect of the “Nature of Work” do you find difficult to understand, challenging to believe, or find to be most misunderstood?What are some reasons why you've suppressed your gifts at the workplace to build up others?The gospel shapes why and how we work. In what ways do you believe the Holy Spirit is leading you to use your gifts to build up others at your workplace and in the church? Share with your group the ways you worship during work. Prayer PointsSpend time reading and praying through Colossians 3:22-24 “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.”Pray that God would provide the people of Sound City a renewed meaning and joy in our work.Pray that the Holy Spirit would reveal and root out any idols in our hearts that distort the calling of work that God gifts us. Pray that the Holy Spirit would lead you in using your gifts to build up those at your workplace.
