Whatever You Do: Christian Work Ethic - Jonny Ardavanis

What does the Bible say about your work—whether you’re a stay-at-home parent, a student, an employee, or a CEO? In this sermon, we explore a biblical theology of work, reminding us that whatever we do, we are called to do it for the glory of God.

From the opening pages of Scripture, we see that God is a worker—and we are made in His image. Work is not a result of the Fall, but part of our original design and dignity. Yet sin has distorted our view of work, tempting us toward pride, idolatry, or apathy.

But through Christ, our work gains new purpose.

This message walks through:

1. Work’s Designer: God, the joyful Creator.

2. Work’s Design: Our calling to create, subdue, and cultivate.

3. Work’s Distortion: How sin complicates our labor.

4. Work’s New Dimension: A redeemed perspective, identity, and motivation.

5. Practical Marks of God-honoring Work: Enthusiasm, enjoyment, excellence, integrity, and gratitude.

Whether your job is in the spotlight or behind the scenes, this sermon will remind you: every task can be sacred when it’s done for the Lord.
