1 Living as Christians in the world - Work

2 Work  The rest of the series  Who God is  Who we are  The place of work  What does God want us to do?

3 Who God is  Maker of heaven and earth  What does that mean?

4 Who we are  Created beings  Not “in control” but with responsibilities  Seeking to be obedient  Not responsible for outcomes  Not expected to have every answer

5 A word about work  We are encouraged to do it  We are encouraged to do it as we do everything “wholeheartedly”  We are encouraged to stand out – salt and light  It provides a great opportunity – people cannot get away!  It is not popular (spirit of the age in the UK)  It poses a problem for the Church – how can the Church join in?

6 What does God want us to do?  Not to convert or “save” people. Only God can do that  But called to be witnesses  But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

7 What makes a good witness?  Testify accurately to what they have seen and experienced  Bo completely honest and truthful  Do not offer opinions unless asked  Do not have an agenda  Do not pretend to know more than we do  Be willing to be unpopular in what we say

8 How should we present our faith - an example?
