Working for God

September 2, 2018 | David Speakman

Series: God’s New Humanity

Scripture: Ephesians 6:5-9

“Let the Church remember this: that every maker and worker is called to serve God in his profession or trade – not outside of it.  The Apostles complained rightly when they said it was not right they should leave the word of God and serve tables; their vocation was to preach the word.  But the person whose vocation it is to prepare the meals beautifully might with equal justice protest: It is not right for us to leave the service of our tables to preach the word.”

Dorothy Sayers

“Power is for flourishing – teeming, fruitful, multiplying abundance.  Power creates and shapes an environment where creatures can flourish . . . Image bearing is for power . . . image bearing is for flourishing.  The image bearers do not exist for their own flourishing alone, but to bring the whole creation to its fulfillment. Why is power a gift? Because power is for flourishing.  When power is used well, people and the whole cosmos come more alive to what they were meant to be. And flourishing is the test of power . . . In enslavement, one human being asserts unlimited power over another, an assertion that requires not just the inflation of the slave owner’s power to unholy, godlike levels, but the eradication of the slave’s power.”

Andy Crouch, Playing God: Redeeming the Gift of Power

“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant . . .”

Philippians 2: 5-7
