5 Star Disciples at Work
Scott Maze
Ephesians 6:5-9
For more than a century, a French company has issued a series of guide books where they award stars to the best restaurants. It's the Michelin rating system. Here's a quick run-down of their rating system - Three stars is exceptional cuisine and worthy of a special journey. Two stars is excellent cooking, worthy of a detour. One star is a very good restaurant. And no star means you're eating fast food with the pastor! What if the Michelin rating system were to rate Christians?
Today, I want to speak to you about being a ''Five Star Disciple at Work.'' How you can be a Five Star Christian at Work.
Keep your Bibles open to Ephesians 6 one more time. We conclude our yearlong study of Ephesians this morning. Keep in mind we did the section on Spiritual Warfare last fall. The Christmas series will have to wait until next week. Thank you for being a part of this church family. We looked at the relationships of parents to children (last week). And now the relationship within the workplace of master to servant, of employer or manager to a worker.
Today's Scripture
''Bondservants, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, 6 not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free. 9 Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him'' (Ephesians 6:5-9).
