Remembering God in Your Work

Discussion Questions:

1. How does a realistic outlook on death and knowing the ultimate outcome of our work help a Christian be Christ-centered in their life and work now?

2. How does discounting death cause people to develop idolatrous expectations of life? How do we divert ourselves with work to resist the real implications of death?

3. How did the idea of the kingdom passing into the hands of someone unwise work out with those who followed Solomon? (1 Kings 11:9-12:15)

4. Why do we obsess so much over our life’s work and outcome, no matter what we do? Why are we workaholics? How do we rob ourselves of joy and rest? What’s the answer? (1 Peter 5:7; Philippians 2:13)

5. What is the best mindset to have on our life’s work? (Genesis 2:15, 3:14-19; Psalm 90:17; Proverbs 12:11, 12:24, 13:4, 14:23, 16:3; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 15:58; 2 Corinthians 12:15; Galatians 6:4-10; Ephesians 4:28; Colossians 3:22-24; 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12; 1 John 2:15-17).
