This sermon emphasizes that work, far from being a curse, is a sacred and inherent part of God's design for humanity, predating the Fall. It highlights that we are created in the image of a working God, and thus, our work can be a form of worship, fulfilling the cultural mandate to subdue the earth and build civilization. The sermon argues against the sacred vs. secular divide, asserting that all work, when done for God's glory and to serve others, is sacred and aligns with the Great Commandment to love God and neighbor. Furthermore, workplaces are presented as mission fields where individuals can share their faith through casual conversations, attentiveness, "launchers," and workplace prayer groups. The sermon also encourages excellence in work as a way to honor God and open doors for evangelism, concluding that all work done for the Lord is an opportunity to preach the gospel and do good.
