Christianity and Work: How to Honor God in a Job You Never Wanted

Christianity and work: how to honor God in a job you never wanted, even when you don't love it. Some of the most faithful people in Scripture worked jobs they never chose, and God met them right there. Maybe you're standing at a register, a desk, a hospital bed or a kitchen sink, and this was never the plan. You sit in the parking lot for five extra minutes before you walk in. That heaviness is not proof you failed. In this message we open the Bible to see what God says about work: why work was His design before the curse, why your real boss is unseen, how the Lord was with Joseph in a house he never chose, and why exhaustion is not unfaithfulness.
