Is work a curse to endure or a calling to embrace? From the opening chapters of Genesis, work shows up as part of God’s good design — wisdom woven into the fabric of creation long before anything went wrong. This message traces that thread through Genesis 1-3, the diligence of Proverbs, Paul’s charge in 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12, and the call of Colossians 3:23-24 to work heartily as unto the Lord. You’ll name the lies that quietly distort how we see our jobs — idleness, entitlement, and treating retirement as an escape — and leave with practical ways to bring wholehearted effort and honest diligence into your very next shift. Come discover why your ordinary Monday is holy ground, and pass it along to someone who needs a new way to see their work.
