The Ordinary Mission Field: Work

Colossians 3:22-4:1

  • Rev. Dr. Bob Fuller
  • September 21, 2025

 
 

Rev. Dr. Bob Fuller’s sermon explores the idea of “discipleship in the ordinary,” focusing on how our work is part of God’s plan to shape us into disciples. He explains that work is not a punishment but a gift from God, present even before the fall, meant to be a partnership with Him. Though sin has made work harder and sometimes frustrating, it remains a blessing and a way God provides for us. Dr. Fuller teaches that all work, whether “sacred” or “secular,” can be holy if done for the Lord, because it offers opportunities for worship, gratitude, service, and growth. Work is not just a way to change the world but also a way God changes us—forming our character, teaching patience, and deepening our trust in Him. He encourages listeners to see their workplaces as mission fields and training grounds where God shapes them to become more like Christ. Ultimately, he calls believers to examine how their work is discipling them—drawing them closer to God or pulling them away. The sermon ends with a prayer, asking God to help His people see work as a blessing and a tool for spiritual transformation.
