Turning Your Job Into A Joy (5 of 8)

Titus 2:9-10
Good evening. Great to see you guys here tonight. Hope you've been having a good week. If you have your Bible, please turn to Titus chapter 2.
How many of you know the name of the singer, Donald Eugene Lytle? Anybody know the name Donald Eugene Lytle? He had a number one hit in 1977, but it wasn't under the name of Donald Eugene Lytle. It was under the name of Johnny PayCheck. Anybody ever heard of Johnny PayCheck? What song comes to your mind? ''Take This Job and Shove It.'' Yes, that's right.
He passed away in 2003. But that song was so popular back in the day, 1977, two weeks as the number one song. Now obviously it's kind of like, whoa, that's not a good song.

I love my job, and I love what I do, and I love the people I work with.'' God wants to turn your job into a joy. You say, ''Is that even possible?'' It is possible when you look at your job from the Lord's perspective, from the Lord's point of view. Now some of us have jobs and they're just jobs that you're doing. It's a stop-gap. It's just, ''I needed a job.'' It's not going to be your life career. But still, whether you're doing something that you're going to be doing fo ...
