On Thursday September 8 we're kicking off a new, six-week, teaching series in our Young Adults Ministry. From your job, errands and keeping your apartment/house clean there is always some work to be done. In fact about 1/3 of your life involves work. Knowing that, we want to look at what the Bible says about work and how a Christ follower should approach work.There is a great verse in the book of Colossians that goes like this:
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters... Colossians 3:23This will be our guiding verse for the entire series. We will use this as the theme verse to lead our time through this series.
Let me give you the six-week series overview:
