28 May 2023 - ENCS

Pastor Josh continued the work series, referencing John five
Remember that we work much of the time that we are alive
Our office or home environment can be toxic in many cases
Whether bosses, customers, employees in various places

But Josh said that there is really no way to detox our jobs
Per John sixteen, in this world we will all face lots of probs
Yet this is not a reason to be despondent or to have fear
For Jesus continued by saying we should be of good cheer

The key is that God can change us, starting with our vision
That gives purpose, purity, and presence in every decision
In Matthew five, Jesus said for the earth we are to be salt
Josh highlighted that passivity is often a destructive fault

For the world, Jesus also called on us to be beacons of light
Even a small light is helpful when things are dark as midnight
Holiness is actually what we do, not just what we avoid to do
Glorifying God and letting other people our good works view

Pastor Josh then spoke about Joseph in Genesis thirty eight
He was detested, a slave, a prisoner - a seemingly bad fate
But despite the challenging times, he kept hold of his vision 
And was eventually able to provide his nation with provision

For God’s presence provides immunity to life’s certain toxicity
His vision for us provides clarity no matter what the complexity
And the perspective holds no matter our problems or position
It also helps to enable us to fulfil Jesus’ Great Commission
