Grant Nelson 9-1-24 | God’s View of Work: Rethinking Labor Through Scripture

Is your work just a job—or a calling from God?

In this Labor Day message, Grant Nelson dives into the heart of what the Bible says about labor, drawing from Luke 10 and other Scripture to reveal a powerful truth: your daily work has eternal significance when done for the Lord. Jesus’ words, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few,” challenge us to view our roles—whether in the workplace, the home, or ministry—as part of God’s greater mission.

This message unpacks how Christians are not called to idleness or mere paycheck-chasing, but to meaningful, Kingdom-minded labor. You’ll walk away with a renewed perspective on the purpose behind your 9-to-5, a biblical framework for work-life balance, and a deeper motivation to honor God with your efforts.

Whether you’re a business owner, student, parent, or employee, this sermon will reshape how you see labor—and remind you who you’re ultimately working for.
