Main Idea

In 'Worship at Work,' Pastor Doug taught us that work is more than a means to an end; it is a divine assignment where we act as God's priests. Referencing biblical history and New Testament teachings, he illustrated that through Jesus, we are God's living temples and representatives. Our workplaces are opportunities to worship God by serving with excellence, offering fresh spiritual fruit daily, and embodying Christ’s love. By shifting our focus from working for human approval to working for God, we discover profound purpose and fulfillment in our jobs.
