25/05/2025 – Evening Service Rev Ian M Watson Genesis 2:4-15, Colossians 3:22-4:1 The post Work Matters appeared first on Hope Church Blackwood & Kirkmuirhill.
Are you noticing changes in your work life? From remote jobs and constant technology to blurred lines between office and home, the way we work is quickly shifting. This week on Equipped, pastor and author Tom Nelson joins Chris Brooks to talk about faith, work, Sabbath, and how to find purpose in your 9 to 5.

In this episode, Krishna talks about different kinds of joy—and how some pleasures fade fast, while others grow over time. We also talk about how doing your own unique work (even if it's not perfect) is powerful. Your path is meant for you. #bhagavadgita #gita #learninggita #krishna
Does God really care about your 9 to 5? He does! A lot more than you may think. Too often, we limit “ministry” to sharing the Gospel or serving at church. But Scripture tells a much bigger story—one where our work, from boardrooms to building sites, holds eternal significance.
We've all said it: “I love my job, but the people…” The truth is, navigating a toxic or dysfunctional workplace can test your faith like few other things. In this final message of our Work Matters series, we explore what it looks like to represent Jesus in the hardest environments—when coworkers are difficult, integrity is rare, and your values are constantly challenged. Looking at the life of Daniel, we'll see how one man stood firm, shined brightly, and made a difference—even in a hostile setting. This message is filled with practical encouragement for anyone trying to follow Jesus at work, especially when the atmosphere is anything but Christlike. Whether you're dealing with petty office drama or outright hostility, this teaching will help you live faithfully, stay spiritually grounded, and see your workplace as one of your greatest mission fields.

Have you ever asked, “What am I supposed to do with my life?” You're not alone. In this message, Pastor Rex shares how discerning your calling is less about choosing a perfect career and more about becoming the person God created you to be. Through Romans 12 and other Scriptures, he explains how God often guides us not with a lightning bolt, but through the steady pull of character, gifting, passion, and personality. Whether you're a student wrestling with your future, a mom wondering if what you do matters, or someone considering a career change, this sermon will help you understand that God does have a purpose for you—and He wants to guide you step by step. God's call may not be loud, but it's always personal.

Is it possible to work hard, honor God, and still have a healthy personal life? In Part 2 of our WORK MATTERS series, we explore how to pursue a sustainable work-life balance in a culture that often rewards hustle over health. While Scripture teaches that work is good and God-honoring, it also warns against the dangers of overworking and misplacing our identity in what we do rather than in who we are in Christ. In this message, we ask honest questions like: How would you know if work is taking over your life? Are you working to avoid something deeper? What does real rest look like? Pastor Rex unpacks biblical principles from Exodus, Proverbs, Matthew, and more—offering three practical steps to help you reclaim balance, prioritize Sabbath rest, and center your life around the Kingdom of God. Whether you're a workaholic, a weary soul, or just trying to find your footing in a busy season, this message is for you.

He is the founder and executive chairman of Made to Flourish, an organization that equips pastors and other Christ-centered leaders to bridge the Sunday-to-Monday gap--allowing our faith to converge with our places of work.

In this episode we tackle the hidden saboteurs of creative success: perfectionism, fear of judgment, and the nagging feeling your work isn't interesting enough. Inspired by conversations and DMs with so many of you, we explore how these barriers often masquerade as professionalism, preventing us from sharing the "ordinary" aspects of our creative process that our audience truly craves. What seems mundane to many of us holds truely impactful and unique value for others, showcasing our expertise and importantly justifying our pricing. I share practical tips on how to reframe your understanding of "professional," prioritise authenticity, and share your journey (imperfections and all!) to connect with your audience and unlock genuine business growth. It's time to stop striving for perfect and start embracing your authentic creative self!

[28:11] Using Instagram carousels to reduce the pressure of perfection [31:32] Strategies for sharing authentically even when feeling vulnerable [34:49] How showing up more authentically online translates to other areas of your business [36:59] Finding approaches that align with how you naturally work and communicate Notable Quotes: "The gap between what we're willing to share and what our audience actually wants to see – that's where these inner barriers are costing us the most." "When we only share the most polished, perfect versions of our creative process, we're reinforcing to ourselves that only certain parts of our work and story are valuable."

While on a recent speaking trip down south, I got up early on a Saturday morning and walked to the only restaurant open for breakfast at that time in the morning. I was greeted by the teenage clerk with a loud and hearty “Welcome!”, something you don't hear much at five am from anyone anywhere. A few pleasantries were exchanged with him and I ordered my food. Thinking I was going to pay with a card, he pointed down to the terminal where I was being asked about adding a tip. “Oh, I'm paying with cash,” I said. I handed him a ten dollar bill and said, “Keep the rest for you and your crew.” He was overjoyed. Oops. I then realized that I hadn't given him a ten, but a twenty! There was no back-pedaling on my part. He called the entire crew out and they thanked me effusively for the two hundred percent tip! Their joy gave me joy, and I was reminded that all work matters to God. There is no such thing as menial work, and we must value everyone, regardless of their job or status.
There's so much we have to do every day about which we really don't have much choice. But it may be that our satisfaction in doing all of those things depends on how we hold them. Rev. Eric Kaminetzky will be preaching.

Welcome back to The Grind, Week Two—where Pastor Ben challenges us to see work not as a necessary evil, but as a divine calling. Despite the staggering 90,000 hours we spend working in our lifetimes, God views our work as a gift meant for service.

He invites you to transform your perspective by crafting a personal vision statement for your job, proving that every role—no matter how ordinary—can be "Jesus stuff" when done with heart. Join us as we redefine the purpose of work and embrace our call to serve our community with passion and purpose.

It stands for, Thank God It's Friday. Many people live with that mindset that work is simply to be endured … a duty to be suffered through Monday through Friday, and then you can rest. But God has a different perspective on how to view what you do. Mark is going to help us see that work is part of God's design and is actually a spiritual CALLING for us.

In this episode of Work Matters, Thomas and his guest Rami Goldratt explore the theory of constraints, its applications, and its impact on organizations. Rami currently serves as CEO of Goldratt Consulting. Over the years, Rami has been involved in consulting engagements with retail, automotive, textile, chemical, and service industries all around the world. Rami is considered one of the most influential leaders of the TOC body of knowledge, specifically in Sales and Marketing, where his work has become standard practice. Rami is also among the pioneers in developing and implementing TOC applications for the education system – guiding of teachers around the world in applying the TOC thinking processes for children's education.In this conversation, we explore:The Big Idea of the Theory of Constraints- The core concept of TOC is maintaining focus on key constraints that govern the flow of work in a system.- Identifying and addressing these constraints can significantly improve organizational throughput.- While the idea is simple, implementing it effectively is not always easy.Application examples for the application of TOC- Heavy Engineering: A company manufacturing high-pressure vessels identified welding as a key constraint. By optimizing the workflow and ensuring welders had everything they needed (full kit), they increased throughput by 20%.- Airlines: Delta Airlines focused on constraints such as gate availability and pilot scheduling to improve flight operations.- Retail: Ensuring the right merchandise is at the right place at the right time can be a key constraint in retail environments.Internal vs. Market Constraints- Constraints are not always internal; market constraints, such as developing better value propositions, can also limit growth.- Exceptional value is created when an organization can remove significant limitations for their customers.Impact on Organizations- Financial Impact: Addressing constraints leads to higher throughput and a healthier bottom line.- Cultural Impact: Properly managing constraints reduces internal conflicts and disharmony.- Organizational Harmony: Aligning different sections of the organization around the key constraints creates a more harmonious and effective work environment.Challenges in Applying TOC- Bad Multitasking: Common in project-oriented environments where people switch between tasks without completing any, leading to inefficiency.- Fragmented Workflows: Over-fragmentation of work can cause synchronization issues and misaligned priorities.- Resistance to Change: Employees and managers may resist new practices and policies that TOC requires for effective implementation.Design and Scaling of Organizations- Standardization vs. Non-Standard Work: Standardizing work to reduce dependency on experts is key for scaling, especially in non-standard work environments.- Expert Utilization: Freeing up experts from non-critical tasks and focusing on training less experienced employees is essential for scaling.- Organizational Design: TOC helps design organizations that can scale seamlessly by focusing on constraints and removing bottlenecks.Relationship with Other Methodologies- TOC is complementary to other methodologies like Lean and Six Sigma. It helps identify where to focus these tools for maximum impact.- TOC provides a holistic view of the system, guiding where to apply other methodologies effectively.Overcoming Vicious Cycles- Identifying and addressing practices and policies that create recurring problems is crucial.- Example: Bad multitasking leads to longer task durations, growing backlogs, and increased pressure to release tasks quickly, perpetuating the cycle.To learn more about TOC,...

Personalized approaches and fostering open communication are essential. Tina emphasizes the importance of making engagement personal through better conversations.To learn more about Tina and her work- Connect with Tina Schust Robinson on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaschustrobinson/- Email Tina for...
In this episode of Work Matters, Thomas talks with Bruce Rosenstein, the managing editor of the acclaimed business journal ‘Leader to Leader' and a longtime student of Peter Drucker's work, about the relevance of Drucker's management theories in today's world. Bruce first got introduced to Drucker's ideas in the mid-1980s while studying library management at Catholic University, where he encountered Drucker's textbook, "Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices."The discussion explores some of Drucker's most important ideas: designing work for knowledge worker, innovation, systematic abandonment, and the role of leaders. Despite technological advances such as AI and the internet, Drucker's timeless concepts of effectiveness and knowledge work remain applicable. Drucker's insights into being effective, originally detailed in "The Effective Executive," continue to guide leaders in various fields.Drucker was a pioneer in recognizing the importance of knowledge work in the 1950s. He also believed knowledge workers should design their own jobs, focusing on accountability, responsibility, and effective time management. The role of managers is to support employees in shaping their roles to enhance productivity and fulfillment.Drucker's concept of "the future has already happened" suggests that current innovations, such as AI and electric vehicles, will have long-term impacts that organizations need to anticipate and adapt to to stay relevant.Drucker's idea of "systematic abandonment" involves regularly evaluating and discontinuing activities that no longer serve the organization's goals. Combining this with continuous improvement (Kaizen) can lead to innovative and efficient practices.Drucker advised leaders to understand their role in the big picture of the organization and to focus on relationships, continuous learning, and effectiveness to drive personal and organizational success.He also emphasized the importance of achievement over financial gain, suggesting that accomplishment can be a powerful motivator. Though not explicitly an advocate of servant leadership, Drucker's ideas align with creating conditions for others to succeed.Bruce Rosenstein shares valuable insights on how Peter Drucker's timeless ideas can still guide leaders today in making work more productive and meaningful. Drucker's principles of effectiveness, innovation, and systematic improvement continue to offer valuable guidance for modern organizations.Follow Bruce on LinkedIn for daily Drucker quotes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bruce-rosenstein/Visit Bruce's website to learn more about his work: https://brucerosenstein.comBruce's two books about Drucker can be found here: Create Your Future the Peter Drucker Way (https://www.amazon.com/Create-Your-Future-Peter-Drucker/dp/0071820809)Living in More Than One World (https://www.amazon.com/Living-More-Than-One-World/dp/1576759687)

QUOTES “When we understand what God's word has to say about work, it frees us up to be exceptional both at work and at home.” - Jordan Raynor “While God's word is clear that our labor in the Lord is not in vain, it also makes clear that GOd doesn't need you or me - His purposes will not be thwarted. He does not need us, he wants us.” - Jordan Raynor “I can be at peace walking away from my work at the end of the day … because I know that if the things on my to - do list are on God's to - do list, he's going to complete them with or without me. That's terrifically freeing.” - Jordan Raynor “Scripture mentions work more than 800 times. There's no need to doubt whether or not God cares about your work.” - Jordan Raynor “When you understand that 100% of your time at home and at work matters to God, you become fully alive. And this world is desperate to see people that are fully alive.” Jordan “I went to Christian school for 13 years. And I remember frequently sitting in chapel, and quietly dreading the thought of heaven. “We are called to keep watch for Christ's return, not by sitting on our hands and waiting for heaven to drop from the sky, but by working with our hands and joining him in cultivating heaven on earth today.” - Jordan Raynor QUESTIONS FOR YOU How does the Biblical idea of stewarding your time change your daily work life?
