Whistle While You Work—by Jacques Genis
March 13, 2023
Sermon summary:
Titus 2:9–10 How does God want me to conduct myself while I work, and why does it matter?
*God is a worker
- Work is meant to be a gift, and is intrinsic to what it means to be fully human. Later, it became toil, and a burden.
- Titus taught how workers were to conduct themselves:
Why does our conduct as employees matter? Verse 10 To make the teaching of God attractive. We are called to be image bearers/ ambassadorrs. Bring heaven to work, and see the difference Jesus made in your life.
Would it be a true representatives of God? Or is your life segmented (re you different at work, home, church etc).
Verse 9: Five foundational things—
*Be subject to your master in everything
*Try to please your master.
*Not talk back.
*Don't steal.
*Show you can be fully trusted.

Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.
Giving is a powerful expression of worship and trust in God. Though He doesn’t need our money, our generosity reflects the posture of our hearts. We honour God by giving from our best, without strings attached, and keeping the promises we've made. Giving is to God—not to man—and it supports the church as a place of spiritual growth for our families and future generations.
We enjoyed a fantastic time of praise and worship and had a communion message by Brendan Devine (it starts at 1:11 mins). If you missed it, you can watch it on our YouTube channel and be uplifted.
