This sermon explores the high value of work. Work was created by God before the fall of man into sin. God worked in creating. We have the opportunity to work and to glorify God in our work. Scripture also describes the state of laziness in a person who refuses to work. We will find fulfillment if we work the good work that God has called us to do.
