1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,320 Have a rough week at work? Or even a hard moment or day and 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,400 you're like, oh, where is? Jesus in this. 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,640 So we've been all month talking about. 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,640 Ways that God calls us. And today I want us to consider 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,280 that we can take what God has called us to and who God has 6 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,120 called us to be. To work. 7 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,400 And not only are we taking our call into work. 8 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,040 But I want us to make sure we understand that God is witness 9 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,760 in our work, so we are not. Taking your God to work today, 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,280 Did any of you? Who grew up in BC grow up in 11 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,080 grade 9 you went to. Work with your parents. 12 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,560 Grade 9 is take. Your kid to work. 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,880 Today alright I. Believe that there are. 14 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,400 Times where we're tempted to take our God to work today. 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,000 Instead of realizing that. God is with us. 16 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,040 Every day. And we are his. 17 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:07,560 Children, we are his representatives every day as a 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,080 kid. When I was about. 14 I sensed 19 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,520 the guy was calling me into what I. 20 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,360 Thought was full time. Christian ministry, because 21 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,840 that's the model I knew. Also. 22 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,200 When I was about. 18. I started recognizing. 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,880 The. Justice, edge of education. 24 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,040 And I thought I'd go to university and study it and then 25 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:33,520 I've spent decades trying to work out how do I honour God in 26 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,920 both of those calls. But I think it. 27 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,800 Came from some bad. Theology in my childhood. 28 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,240 That I would. Love to help you all be pre of 29 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,240 people who do the math thing on this estimate that we spend 30 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,800 about 90,000 hours of our. Lives. 31 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,360 In employment we spend about 4000 of our lives. 32 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,640 Involved in church. Activities if we're really 33 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,080 involved. Do you get the? 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,680 Difference. So figuring out who you are in 35 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,800 Christ. In your work and if you're like, 36 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,240 I don't have a job, this isn't it if you are a student. 37 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,760 That is your. Job for now and. 38 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,080 If you're in employment and a student. 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,960 So I want us to look at some biblical examples. 40 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,240 We're going to. Look at some people. 41 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:24,480 If you don't. Know who they are. 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,800 The scripture is up here so you can read and I want us to first 43 00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:33,720 look at Joseph. Now we know Joseph because 44 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,680 let's. Be honest. 45 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,120 He was a bit. Proud and. 46 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,480 What he did is. He had a vision. 47 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,120 He had clarity about. What God was calling him to, God 48 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,400 was calling him to leadership. Now. 49 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,680 His teenage self-made sure his older brothers knew it was 50 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,800 leadership over them. And they were gone up out of him 51 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,440 so. He had some hubris. 52 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,040 Oh, was his vision wrong? If you know the. 53 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,120 Story, you know. His vision was right on and was 54 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:09,640 straight from God. Now he knew the stories of 55 00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:13,200 creation and he. Knew that in the beginning God 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,200 had created. He knew. 57 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,840 The. Stories that he was. 58 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,760 Called, and all humanity was. Called for stewardship of the 59 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,320 earth. He knew the curse brought 60 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,520 thorns. And Thistles, Adam and Abe. 61 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,480 Chose to do Eve from the one tree they weren't supposed to. 62 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,560 And there were consequences. There's a lot in Genesis 3 63 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,360 about. Is this prescriptive? 64 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,120 Cursing or descriptive cursing. But as you read it, God is. 65 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,440 Describing. What's about to happen to? 66 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,760 Humanity because they went. Their own way. 67 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,960 And one of the consequences is that work got harder. 68 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,280 But what I want you to take? Away from this. 69 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,040 Is that work has always been a part of the human life work? 70 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,640 Itself is not a part of the curse. 71 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,760 The thorns and thistles and the arduousness of order is now 72 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,680 coming back to our friend Joseph. 73 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,240 He knew he was called to greatness. 74 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:23,320 But he made his brothers mad. He decided to take. 75 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,840 The call of God on his own life and try to. 76 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:29,120 Orchestrate. And architect it on the next. 77 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:36,560 Slide you will see oh what it is the ChatGPT resume of Joseph if 78 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,320 you put. You tell ChatGPT to read. 79 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,360 Genesis 37 through 50. And create a resume for Joseph. 80 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,840 You might not. Be able to see this oops wrong 81 00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:52,440 sheet. Joseph's professional summary 82 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,080 is. Visionary and resilient leader 83 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,360 with. Expertise in crisis management, 84 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,640 Economic planning. And organizational governance 85 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,200 rose from enslavement. And imprisonment to become the 86 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,640 second highest official in Egypt sealed in interpreting complex. 87 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,440 Data and fell. Across in. 88 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,840 Future outcomes with a proven record of saving nations. 89 00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,320 From disaster. Renowned for integrity, 90 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,840 diplomacy and the ability to live in high pressure 91 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:25,040 environments, she was. Not wrong. 92 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,680 Joseph did become all of that. But what I want you to notice is 93 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,360 the in between Joseph. Started with a clear vision, 94 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,720 clearer than most. Of us have as in our youth, of 95 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,920 where God was taking him. I don't think proud teasing his 96 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,040 brothers, Joseph saw. His brother's betrayal saw 97 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,920 enslavement. Saw doing his work with 98 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,960 integrity and getting. Put in prison for it. 99 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000 In case you don't know the story, his boss's wife wanted 100 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,160 him to sleep with her and he refused. 101 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,760 And that. She said he. 102 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,480 Tried to rape her when he went to jail for. 103 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:17,960 Years and so. Joseph ends up second in command 104 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:23,040 with a very. Unpopular economic plan because 105 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,280 he was saving for an upcoming family. 106 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,920 They didn't know or believe that and when it all has said and 107 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,880 done when he was. Getting called. 108 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,480 By favor to explain his dream, which is where it started with 109 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,760 this new job. Joseph Humbly. 110 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:49,920 Says I cannot do it, but God will give Pharaoh the answer he 111 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,680 desires. He had gone from. 112 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,600 Trying to take control of a call and vision. 113 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:04,400 To through hardship actually. Hardship at work, learning how 114 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,640 to be the man God knew he could be, so that he could serve not 115 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,520 just a small group, but so he could serve nations all around 116 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,720 him. When you. 117 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,480 Have a call. It can become. 118 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,120 A driving. Force and so ask. 119 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,640 Yourself. Am I? 120 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,560 Called my God to do excellence at whatever I'm doing right now. 121 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,040 Or am I? Driven to prove myself and show 122 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,800 myself. The difference is not in the 123 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,320 tasks the. Difference may not be. 124 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,880 In how much time? You spend, you're gonna still 125 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,520 stay up late when you're. Calm, but when you are driven, 126 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,640 it is to prove. Either to yourself or sometimes 127 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,160 to someone else. Someone that spoke. 128 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,360 A word over. You that did not feel like a 129 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,920 belief or a blessing and you're still working to prove yourself 130 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,120 to them. Joseph had to work out both his 131 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,960 pride but his need to prove himself to these brothers. 132 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,720 Now guess what? Joseph is a older man. 133 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,760 The daddy dies, the brothers are scared, and Joseph knew how in 134 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,840 his. Call to live into the. 135 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,800 Reality. And in Genesis 50, the dads 136 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,880 died. They're like, oh man, now he's 137 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,919 coming for us. Now he's going to get even. 138 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,440 Because. They had not yet made peace with 139 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,200 their past, but it seemed that Joseph and the Lord had. 140 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,680 Because, Joseph tells his brothers, don't be afraid. 141 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,320 Am I in the place of God? You intended. 142 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,080 To harm me. But God intended it for good to 143 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,480 accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 144 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,640 So then. Don't. 145 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,400 Be afraid I will provide for. You and your children. 146 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,160 And he reassured them, and so kindly. 147 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:11,960 To them. He had adjusted his drivenness 148 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,080 to live into. His. 149 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,320 Calmness. Many were blessed. 150 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,960 But he. Also. 151 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,120 Made. Peace. 152 00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:25,800 Within his family and in the conflict there. 153 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:35,920 I do not know what made. Your we could work. 154 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,520 Hard. But the song that the worship 155 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,920 team LED us in? Highlands is the. 156 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:46,560 Song that I listened to for the last 3 1/2 years on the way to 157 00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:49,440 work. And on the way home because of 158 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,440 hardship. To work, I cried. 159 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,680 Still I'm not. Finished. 160 00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:56,400 Processing of the truth. Be told. 161 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,520 But in that. Did You Know? 162 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,240 I want to be like. Joseph and say that. 163 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,320 While someone else may intend harm to me. 164 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,160 God intends good. For me and so I do not have to 165 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,360 be controlled by the others. Intentions. 166 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,880 It's. Ultimately, even in a hard. 167 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,520 Space of work who is God and. Who am I as his child? 168 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:21,720 And so. Joseph. 169 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,080 Became a quick. Prayer of mine. 170 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:27,320 I was going into a meeting and I knew it was going to be rough. 171 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,840 Here was my prayer. Oh, Lord help me, Joseph, 172 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,120 because you. Don't always have. 173 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,560 Time at work, but. Embedded was the growth Joseph 174 00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:38,400 had done in the model he. Provided for me. 175 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,680 So when you're falsely accused, underappreciated, sold into a 176 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,480 terrible job, have. People playing all kinds of. 177 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,000 Weird games or stop? Doing nothing. 178 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,080 He wasn't doing nothing. He became a leader in prison 179 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,040 even. Remember that God is not done. 180 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,200 With the thing he called you to, I also want to say. 181 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,400 That we can learn. From Daniel, who was called to 182 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,720 be a servant of the living God, I actually ended up. 183 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,880 I got so. Enthralled with how ChatGPT 184 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,800 could resume everybody. I'm not going to give them all 185 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,760 to you, but it's an exercise. You got to tell them the 186 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,840 scripture, otherwise you get weird stuff. 187 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,960 You want to confine it within the boundaries. 188 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,120 Won't make it all weird. But I like to. 189 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,360 Watch that. Here's what I want. 190 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,640 To say we love Daniel as a teenager because he ate. 191 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,960 Clean. Food and stood up. 192 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,600 But you. Know what really happened? 193 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,040 Is that Daniel was. Captured. 194 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,160 He was. Exiled and he. 195 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,280 Chose to stay faithful to God. When no. 196 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,040 One else was watching. Can I tell you that when you 197 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,800 immigrate now, I only immigrated? 198 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,400 From the States to Canada. But when you immigrate, the 199 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,160 rules are different and you have to. 200 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,400 Figure out well. Why do? 201 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,920 Christians. Here, do that and. 202 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,080 Christians here do this. Huh. 203 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,320 And so Daniel? Is working out what. 204 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,400 Does it? Mean on his home, without his. 205 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,560 Parents without his. Community and he ultimately 206 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:05,640 becomes a civil. Servant. 207 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,800 Now what I love about Daniel 12 chapters. 208 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,560 You could go home this afternoon read the whole book. 209 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,360 Is that in the book? Of Daniel, we get him as a 210 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,200 teenager and we get him when he's approaching 80 and there's 211 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,320 a. Lot of sign. 212 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,760 Of time in between so Daniel also learned how to do. 213 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,880 The mundane. Because we don't. 214 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,840 Get told all the mundane parts of life. 215 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,440 He had moments where he was a. Great leader, National. 216 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,000 And he had moments. Where he was forgotten. 217 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,960 And only the widowed Queen Mother remembered who he was. 218 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,120 And. What he? 219 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,800 Could do in God's name. When he was getting set up. 220 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120 Here's why. Daniel 6/4. 221 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,560 And five the only. Way they could set him up was 222 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,600 here. The last verse, first five. 223 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,720 Finally, his men said we will never find any faces for charges 224 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,720 against this man Daniel, unless it has something to do with the 225 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,560 law of his God, because he was trustworthy. 226 00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:08,120 He was not. Corrupt. 227 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,040 Nor he was negligent. Now. 228 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:15,920 Here is the tempting issue. When you have a frustrating work 229 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,520 situation. You want a ghost? 230 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,800 What is it? Silent quitting you're. 231 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:22,680 Still there? You're still. 232 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:25,800 Pulling a paycheck, but you're not pulling your load anymore? 233 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,240 Oh, you're going to talk to me? That way you're going to make 234 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,920 all the coffees this hour. I'll make one to your every four 235 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,120 or. Five and y'all. 236 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,320 Bosses can be hard and. Sometimes it's because they're. 237 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,240 Overwhelmed or they're not adequately trained, but. 238 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,160 Who are you working for? That person. 239 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,080 Are you working as a servant of the living God? 240 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,840 Daniel was literally having to. Work for the people. 241 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,080 That had captured him and put him and taken him. 242 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,560 Away, but he did it well. And so excellence at work. 243 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,920 Even in the mundane and faithfulness to. 244 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,480 God is what I take. So when I was like, oh Lord, I 245 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,520 thought you called me to do this beautiful thing. 246 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,320 And this isn't what. I can quite like it. 247 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:18,480 My prayer has become. Quick little Oh Lord. 248 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,920 Help me Daniel this. Help me do this well and with 249 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,600 integrity and thoroughness, so you are honoured. 250 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,520 And so. What I want to? 251 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,720 Say is when you think about that call in your life, there are. 252 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,480 Principles. Figuring out how to live. 253 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,000 Well, in our work lives that bring God honour. 254 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,120 And so let's talk about some of these principles. 255 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,600 First of all, I think that we can get anything to teachers, 256 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,320 please. We can get distracted cause. 257 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,360 Christians talk about call. And now we all. 258 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,120 Want the megaphone call what I being? 259 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,760 Like that is megaphone calls for where Moses had a burning Bush. 260 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,680 Right, Saul? Could become Paul had a blind. 261 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,120 Light and we're like, well, God wants me. 262 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,440 Peanut butter. In the sky, clarity. 263 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,000 Please because. I want a burning Bush, otherwise 264 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,360 I must not be important right now. 265 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,480 Oh, and then maybe God starts to. 266 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,760 Give us nudges and urges and encouragements about what we 267 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,040 might be called to and. We pull out our phone. 268 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,200 All right. Text me the place. 269 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,640 Text. Me the point to meet you. 270 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:38,840 I'll be there, Lord. Yeah, God's never been that 271 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,520 specific. Or rarely. 272 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,040 Rarely. In that specific, you know, 273 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,840 Abraham had to move and didn't even know where he was moving 274 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,160 to. So the call God can be a 275 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,080 megaphone. It's almost never. 276 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,920 Going to be like texting the exact location on your phone. 277 00:15:54,440 --> 00:16:00,320 But often it is like a magnet. And it is where you keep. 278 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,600 Feeling drawn crass, but I think. 279 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,960 It works I. Almost made the image one of the 280 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,080 toilet. When you need to go to the 281 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,840 washroom, you cannot help but find some place to go. 282 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,560 And when the Lord. Put something on your heart to 283 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,200 do you. Cannot help but be drawn to do 284 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,840 it and so you might be earning your compensation. 285 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,320 In some other way. But the call of God keeps 286 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,080 drawing you too in the whole. You know there's 300. 287 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,000 Employees and the two. That are connected. 288 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,560 To your. Call seem to. 289 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,880 Find you. You haven't told anybody and 290 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,520 somebody. Asks you to do something. 291 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,880 And it's kind of related and so. I want to say. 292 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,360 That is also. A biblical call. 293 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,680 And then let me give you examples. 294 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,480 Nehemiah heard and started crying. 295 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,840 He didn't know for sure. It was a call of God and the 296 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:09,440 King's like why are you reaping? And he ended up becoming a 297 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,560 governor to rebuild. Jerusalem. 298 00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:13,800 You know one would. Almost. 299 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:19,040 Even say Andrew so Peter. Is his brother and he had a big 300 00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:23,040 fish too much I'm oh I'm. Unclean Jesus calls him. 301 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,359 To come be the fishers and men. But you know why, Andrew? 302 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,360 His brother got. There first and Andrew he heard 303 00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:31,960 there was a new teacher in town and. 304 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,520 He started circling. Him and saying hey, come here. 305 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,320 Brother, let's go listen. Hey, come here my colleagues. 306 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,880 I want you to come here. Andrew's. 307 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,680 Called God. Star Jesus started as gentle. 308 00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:51,200 And beautiful just because. He was drawn and attracted to 309 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:58,000 Jesus's good teaching. Call in your own life. 310 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,280 Does not have to look one way, so let's start at. 311 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,240 One call, we all. Have. 312 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,480 We are called out. The word in the New Testament 313 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,440 Greek for church is. Ekklesia. 314 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,840 Anybody who has Spanish? Speglacia is straight from this 315 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,160 OK. So it's. 316 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,760 Called. Out now I want to be clear in 317 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,400 the new. Testament when it's talking. 318 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,280 About churches all but three or four times. 319 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,880 It's talking about a. Specific group of people. 320 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,680 And so you are called to be among. 321 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,720 God's people. In a. 322 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,280 Personal being known kind of a way. 323 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,760 And so we are first called. Is to be with. 324 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,360 His people now we are also called. 325 00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:42,600 In First Corinthians chapter 3. To build a. 326 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,920 Foundation that is Jesus. And it says that our work. 327 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,320 Will ultimately be tested and will be shown for what it is 328 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,280 because the day will bring it to light. 329 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,440 It will be revealed with the fire and the fire will test the 330 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,560 quality of. Each person's work OK. 331 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,440 Now, this is not to be scary. It doesn't change. 332 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,240 Your turn on salvation. But what it does? 333 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:10,000 Say, is that Jesus who knows your heart sees the work that 334 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:10,760 you? Are doing. 335 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,720 In his name, when it feels mundane, Nobody. 336 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,440 Is getting excited You're not. Getting called to cool 337 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,120 networking events you aren't going to even. 338 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:24,120 Sure you want this job on resume when? 339 00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:25,560 You do that. Work in Jesus. 340 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,160 Name it can have. Eternal worth because it is. 341 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,160 Founded and. Built. 342 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,400 On him and then. Our target kind of passage. 343 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,600 To today is. Colossians 3 is a lot of 344 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,040 scripture. Here's what I would say when you 345 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,720 are going to live. Called by God, you need to 346 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,560 adjust. What you're thinking about and 347 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,320 so in Colossians 3, one through 4 says since then you have been 348 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,960 raised with Christ. Set your hearts on things above, 349 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,560 where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 350 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,880 Set your minds on things above, not on earth with things, for 351 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,080 you died and your life is not hidden with Christ in God. 352 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,600 When Christ, who is your life appears, then you will also 353 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,400 appear in glory. So. 354 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,440 If you want to know. What the Lord is calling you to 355 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:22,400 be? Think about the Lord and His. 356 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,960 Ways and his Kingdom. That doesn't sound so so hard, 357 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,440 but it is because. There are many. 358 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,440 Things. Demanding our attention and. 359 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,520 So sometimes we reset. What is my? 360 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:42,640 Heart on what is my mind on we can do this when Joseph was. 361 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,120 Having Potiphar's wife. Asked him. 362 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,080 To sleep with her. He could have done it in. 363 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,920 His life. He probably wouldn't have spent 364 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,320 12 years in jail and his life might have felt a little bit 365 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,680 easier, but his heart? And mind. 366 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,320 Were set on God, and so He did what was right. 367 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,640 And that is how. The Lord had been positioned. 368 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,800 To actually favour and when Daniel was about to become food 369 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,600 for lions. He decide he did not give up his 370 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,560 time of prayer. It was so reliable that that's 371 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,000 how they ensmeared him and. Yet that's because his heart and 372 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,240 his. Mind were reset at. 373 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,840 Prayer 3. Times a day on Jesus or on God 374 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,400 for him. All right. 375 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,280 Now. Develop holy pathos again. 376 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:34,760 You're like, well, we already know. 377 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,400 This I want us. To look. 378 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,320 Very quickly. In verse 5, put to death. 379 00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:43,280 It for whatever belongs to earthly nature, sexual 380 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,320 immorality and purity. Lust, evil desires and greed, 381 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,440 which is endometry OK. I think. 382 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,480 One of the reasons. We sometimes stumble when Our 383 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,720 Calling. Is we're so scared as Christians 384 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,360 of being. Greedy or showing some kind of 385 00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:01,360 love of money that we do not know how to follow. 386 00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:04,400 Jesus's. Words to be as wise as serpent. 387 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,280 And innocent as does. He kind of lost patience, he 388 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:07,880 goes. Man. 389 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,680 And people who are following me are. 390 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,440 Wiser with this stuff than you are. 391 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,600 So green is the problem. Earning money is not. 392 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,000 In fact, the Lord will probably those of you that are humble 393 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,480 apart and. Also. 394 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,600 Aren't greedy, the Lord will bless. 395 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,120 You so that you can bless others, the Lord will. 396 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,960 Give you enough to be more. Than generous and so. 397 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:38,040 Deal with your heart issues around money and learn how to be 398 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,320 responsible and good stewards all the way back to the first 399 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,200 verses we looked at in. Creation. 400 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,400 God is calling. Us to Seward this birth. 401 00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:51,000 And he's calling us to Seward our resources in ways and the 402 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,120 kind of work that we do. Now all the other parts of the 403 00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:58,960 list, it keeps on going because of this, the wrath of God, these 404 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,000 the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in. 405 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,120 These ways in the life. You once lived, but now you must 406 00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:08,840 also rid yourself of all things, such things as these. 407 00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:10,920 Anger. Rage. 408 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,800 Malice. Slander and filthy language. 409 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,800 From your lips. Y'all I learned more filthy. 410 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,960 Language at work than any other place. 411 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,400 In my life, did you know teachers can? 412 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,520 Trash talk and I was like nobody else in my work. 413 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,520 Life talks this way and needs to talk and. 414 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,640 I come home and in here all day. Well, maybe sometimes I see 415 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,040 other. Kids too, let's be honest. 416 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:41,600 But but I was like what is that? So I'm just saying do not lie to 417 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,000 each other since you have taken off your old self with its 418 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,840 practices and have put on the new self. 419 00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:49,800 Which is being. Renewed in knowledge in the 420 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,040 image. Of its creator here. 421 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,040 There is no Gentile or Jews, circumcised or uncircumcised, 422 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,000 for bearing sticky and slave of fruit. 423 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,080 For Christ is all. And is. 424 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,600 In all y'all. We know there's some things. 425 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,240 That we're supposed to literally take off and be. 426 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,080 Done. But we don't. 427 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,320 We're like, oh baby. I mean just. 428 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,440 Say something cold. It's cold. 429 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,720 Without that habit. Put it off but. 430 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:18,800 Here's the. Thing it's a. 431 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,720 Biblical truth everywhere. We can never just take off. 432 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,680 When we take off, we're always told to put. 433 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:31,200 Something else on and so. Paul writes. 434 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,800 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved. 435 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,600 Clothe. Yourselves with compassion, 436 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,080 kindness. Humility, gentleness, and 437 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:46,960 patience. Did you notice how did Joseph? 438 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,200 And Daniel build. Gentleness and kindness and 439 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,480 humility and. Patience. 440 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,840 I hate. To say it, but. 441 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,760 It wasn't a cushy. Easy jobs. 442 00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:08,000 The character to be. The man that God wanted them to 443 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,960 be to. Live all the call in their lives 444 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,200 came from hardship how did they learn to put. 445 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,680 Off and keep off. And put it on. 446 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,680 They learned it in hardship now. True story. 447 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,720 I was trying to think about my own work life and. 448 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,320 Work history and. Besides being an educator and. 449 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,320 Here, I'm about to take my job and it's not as a mom. 450 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,960 A mom got a dishwater washer. On my ad. 451 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,280 This is actual. Employment pay. 452 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,840 I was. A dishwasher for 9 or 10. 453 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,800 Years now along the way, I. Added to the dishwashing. 454 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,440 Some. Catering help and setting up the 455 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,080 pretty. Tables and serving the food. 456 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,520 But I was a dishwasher for 10 years in my life. 457 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,240 I started when I was 13 and all the way through grad school I 458 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,920 had some kind of dishwashing job do. 459 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,600 You all know how people treat servers and dishwashers. 460 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,880 Some of you have a job. How do you How do you think 461 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:09,520 they're treated now? I knew who I was, but they. 462 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,480 Didn't I had a sense of where I was headed. 463 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,800 But they didn't, and there's some things. 464 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,680 I learned now some of it. I learned when to spice. 465 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,960 And SASS because there were times where boundaries. 466 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,920 Needed to be. Made but I. 467 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,960 Learned a lot more. About gentleness and humility, I 468 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,400 learned a. Lot more about. 469 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:39,560 Patience because I have these lower jobs or lower jobs and 470 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,160 thus if. You want to. 471 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,760 Learn or certain to bear with each other and forgive one 472 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,280 another if any of you has a grievance against someone. 473 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,600 OK, again, the standard isn't. Forgiven them because. 474 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,960 They're so forgivable, but. Forgive as the. 475 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,760 Lord has forgiven you. And over. 476 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,080 All these virtues put on love, which binds them all. 477 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,960 Together in perfect unity. If you want this, put on 478 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:08,840 character that we're called. To put on then. 479 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,840 Walk with. Jesus at work. 480 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,520 And be honest about where and why that's hard in your 481 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,840 Christian community. And let us. 482 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,560 Pray with you and. For you because these are. 483 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,520 Beautiful. Words we all would like. 484 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,720 That life and these kinds of relationships. 485 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,360 But guess what? We don't want. 486 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,560 Joseph's 12. Years in prison. 487 00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:35,880 I don't want it for you, to be honest. 488 00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:39,520 We don't. Want Daniel's Mundane? 489 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,280 Of his 70. Four years that are covered. 490 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,240 In the Bible we get 3 or 4 highlights. 491 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,960 Everything else was sort of a. Mundane. 492 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:55,240 Civil. Servant, but the character of 493 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,160 God was woman in him. So that he could be who God had 494 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,920 called him to be. And so. 495 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,320 In all that we do. Is we are developed. 496 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,520 Putting off and putting on holy habits we are. 497 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,880 Servants for the High King of Heaven and. 498 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,160 Earth, we pray. Every week as a. 499 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,560 Church I you may pray every day, the Lord's Prayer we say your 500 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:27,320 Kingdom come, so when we work. In humble jobs. 501 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,880 When we are not treated. With the respect that many. 502 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,880 Of you should have, we can still be. 503 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,760 Living out the. Call of God in our lives because 504 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,720 we are. Serving the High King of Heaven 505 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,040 and Earth. Not just. 506 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,520 The people that are. Here and don't. 507 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,760 See. All of who we are and the beauty 508 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,600 of our call. Or maybe we don't. 509 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,960 Even see how this. Role. 510 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:53,960 Connects to our call. True story, a family friend was. 511 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,520 My mom's age and. She was telling me that she had 512 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,120 gone to university and her college and at the time. 513 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,080 Of the women's. College. 514 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,560 They suggested she. Study. 515 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,240 Her men and she didn't know what to study. 516 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,960 Nobody else in her family had gone to college. 517 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,720 So she did it Well, not she went on to. 518 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,560 Get an MBA, she went on to. Become a vice president of 519 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,960 Equifax, which is kind. Of a big company in the States 520 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,880 she went on to have a daily not daily weekly television spot in 521 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,200 the morning today show she was quite impressive but you know 522 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,600 what she wanted me to know is that God did not waste her home 523 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,840 EC degree because her. Husband was a missionary. 524 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,440 To the United Nations. And guess. 525 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,600 What they were entertaining. Diplomats for the Kingdom of 526 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,080 God. All the time. 527 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,840 And she knew how to do. It well. 528 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,960 Because she had had that degree, there is. 529 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,160 Nothing that God is putting you in that He. 530 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,160 Cannot redeem, He cannot use for his honor and glory. 531 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,240 And So what I want to say, brothers and sisters, is that 532 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,600 more than being called to a specific kind of job, you are 533 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,320 called to be. Blessed children. 534 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,240 Of God, and he will call you. Into the things that draw you. 535 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,920 And he will call you and clarify. 536 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,840 Some specifics. As you develop knowing him. 537 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,080 As you develop holy habits. And as you learn. 538 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,960 How to be a beautiful servant to the King of Heaven and earth. 539 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,120 And so I want to tell you a quick story about this man, 540 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,120 Mifflin Gibbs. He was having a crisis of 541 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,000 belief. Now you can tell him a picture 542 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,880 that was more. Than a minute ago, so I'll just 543 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,960 go ahead and tell you his daddy was a creature. 544 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,120 And he got involved. In abolitionist work in the US, 545 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,720 but it was it was hard, what he thought was. 546 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,640 Good and holy. Was running all kinds of 547 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,680 opposition and he was talking. If you know any U.S. history 548 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,240 might have heard the name Frederick Douglass. 549 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,800 He was an important. Abolitionist. 550 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,520 And his business manager, he was talking to the business manager, 551 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,880 kind of wanted some sympathy. Apparently she didn't give. 552 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,600 Any sympathy but what she said is? 553 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,680 Yeah, it's hard. And go and do something great. 554 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,880 Go and do great things. So Origin it is. 555 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,400 Not easy to be at EVC. It is not easy. 556 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:36,040 In Vancouver, to love Jesus and to be in the workplace and go 557 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,560 and do great things because your body is the temple of God, the 558 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,200 foundation. Verses from First Corinthians. 559 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,920 Earlier in the passage. If you want all these scriptures 560 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,080 later, just e-mail me. I'm happy to share because this 561 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,840 is a topical. Study and we've gone fast. 562 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,520 But it ended. It talked about building the 563 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,960 foundation of Jesus. The passage has We are the 564 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,800 temple.
