How I Can Be The Church At Work

1) Surrender

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 CEB

Depend on the Lord in whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 NCV

2) Work

And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. Colossians 3:17 NLT

I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 NRSV

3) Work

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people. Colossians 3:23 GNT

Do not be lazy but work hard, serving the Lord with all your heart. Romans 12:11 NCV

4) Shine

You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. Matthew 5:14–16 NLT

I will be the church—

Memory Verse

Whatever you do, work at with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people. Colossians 3:23 GNT
