\begin{quote}
|
||
One person is in the center and asks someone in the circle – Example "Matt, are you neighborly?" He can respond, "Yes, but I don't like people with "blue eyes." Everyone with blue eyes must switch without the center person getting a chair. Or he can respond, "No" - Which means he and the two people on both sides of him must switch without the center person getting a chair.

\subsection{Tonight we'll continue with our question, \textbf{"Who, Me -- Work?”}}
|
||
\label{sec:org30290b8}
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item We started looking at this last week, but we will continue to see what
|
||
else God has to say about this tonight!
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Open your Bible handout to Genesis 2:15-20:}
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item Why did God put Adam in the garden? \textbf{(Verse 15) Put a box around what Adam was supposed to do.} \emph{They were to \uline{work it and keep it} the garden.}
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \emph{The term \textbf{work} involves preparing the ground by tilling in order to plant}
|
||
\item \emph{The word \textbf{keep} means to guard, protect, or attend to.}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
||
\item Think about taking care of animals and a garden. What is involved in these jobs?
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \emph{Gardener: He could have pruned the garden, classifying the trees and flowers (figuring out what everything was!), and picking fruits and vegetables.}
|
||
\item \emph{Farmer: tending the animals in the garden.}
|
||
\item \emph{Zoologist: Studied and named the animals}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
||
\item Was Adam's work the result of sin?
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \emph{Productive work was part of God's good purpose for people. He meant it's a blessing, giving people purpose and fulfillment in serving him.}
|
||
\item \textbf{Imagine you're in a room alone with no stimuli at all -- no light, no books, no windows, and nothing to do.} It might seem like torture and in fact it HAS been used as torture by some governments or terrorists. \emph{Why do you think it's effective?}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
||
\item What would it have been like to work in a perfect world without sin?
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item Today we see work as drudgery and a lot of times this is influenced by sinful attitudes.
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
||
\subsection{Back to Scripture}
|
||
\label{sec:org0d21e6d}
|
||
The Bible actually has a ton to say about why we work. So in your groups you are going to look up scriptures and write down an answer on your handout for each scripture about why we work.
|
||
|
||
7:45 -- Get everyone together to go through what they learned.
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item Gen.1:28: Work is God's blessing and instruction to develop the earth.
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \textbf{This is God's express command! We are to exercise dominion over all that God has made. Work was a blessing placed upon Adam from the beginning and it was his nature to work.}
|
||
\item \textbf{He had been created by God to subdue and rule his world. \uline{It would have actually been a sin for Adam to refuse to work.} \emph{That's what God created him to do!}}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \textbf{Ex. 20:8-11: God commands us to both work and rest.}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \textbf{The command to keep the Sabbath holy is also a command to work. My grandpa always said: “Six days you shall work!”}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \textbf{2 Thess. 3:10-13: Work is to provide for our needs; don't be idle.}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. 12 Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. 13 As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \textbf{If you don't work -- you shouldn't eat! Don't be IDLE.}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item 1 Tim. 5:8: Work is to provide for your family's needs
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
8 But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \textbf{Our work enables us to provide for ourselves and our families -- actually if someone doesn't do this, he is worse than an unbeliever!}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item Col. 3:23-24: Work to please the Lord rather than people.
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \textbf{This look at your attitude towards work: Work cheerfully for God, not begrudgingly for men.}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item Titus 3:14: Work to help others
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
14 And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.
|
||
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item Eph. 4:28: We should do honest work in order to share with others in need.
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.
|
||
|
||
\subsection{More Questions:}
|
||
\label{sec:org228a4c9}
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item Think about the different reasons why we work. How is our work a responsibility? A privilege?
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \textbf{We have the privilege of patterning our lives after the example God set. God worked, bringing the world into existence; we work, ruling over the world by God's appointment.}
|
||
\item \textbf{Because we are UNIQUE beings, created in the image of God, he has given us the task of ruling over his creation. No other created being has this privilege!}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
||
\item Is a job as a preacher more pleasing to God than a lawyer or garbage collector?
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \textbf{All work -- unless it involves open rebelling against God -- is God honoring work. All work is given by God to be done for His glory.}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
||
\item How would you define work from God's viewpoint?
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \textbf{A privilege. Something we can do to honor Him and enjoy life!}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Q: Who, Me -- Work?}
|
||
\textbf{A: Yes, God intended work to be a blessing and privilege for people.}
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Start Video at 7:55} -- To wrap up answering their questions: Steven Curtis Chapman's “Do Everything.”
