Vocation or Vacation - Why Do You Work?

Aug 31, 2025    Ps. Larry Long

This Labor Day, Pastor Larry challenges us to reconsider our perspective on work. Far from being a necessary evil, work is presented as a sacred calling and privilege given by God. This message draws from Genesis, showing how even before the Fall, Adam and Eve were given purposeful work in tending the Garden of Eden. This reminds us that we're created in God's image not just to rest, but to join Him in His ongoing work of creation and stewardship. Pastor Larry encourages us to view our jobs, whatever they may be, as a divine vocation. By working 'heartily as for the Lord' (Colossians 3:23-24), we fulfill God's plan for our lives and find true meaning.
