Sunday Morning | August 11, 2025 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

The sermon “What Proverbs Says About Work” emphasizes that work is part of God’s original design, given before the Fall as a means to steward creation, be fruitful, and serve others. While sin brought difficulty, frustration, and toil into our labor, Scripture calls believers to approach work with diligence, skill, and integrity. Proverbs warns that laziness leads to poverty, bondage, and emptiness, while diligence brings provision, influence, and fulfillment. The sluggard avoids effort, makes excuses, and refuses to start or finish tasks, but the diligent plan wisely, persevere, and honor God through their labor. Ultimately, our work is an opportunity to serve like Christ—who came not to be served but to serve—and to let living water flow from our lives into the world.

You can join us on Sunday mornings at 11 AM for worship. We are located at 8911 3rd Street Road, Louisville KY 40272.
