Lord of All Our Work
Adrian Rogers
Ephesians 6:5-8
Take God's Word please and be finding Ephesians chapter six. Were in a series entitled ''Lord Of All''. And we've been thinking of our Lord Jesus Christ as Lord of all of our work, and Lord of all of our wealth, and Lord of all of our worship. Today were continuing the theme, ''Lord of all our work.'' Lord of our work. And we begin reading in verse five.

And I said why Peter. And he said, well, it's just very important. And he told me about a very expensive high priced bed he was going to buy, and I said, isn't that a little much? He said, not at all. He said do you realize that you spend a third of your life in bed? That's a pretty interesting point. He said your bed ought to be the most expensive piece of furniture in the house. He said you spend one third of your life in bed. And I said, well, you know that makes a ...
